My understanding of that event is exactly as Rick reports it - that MMY ordered the draining of ATR accounts, Jerry was upset, and that was the reason Jerry was no longer welcome in the TMO - he had expressed - in front of MMY - his reservations about taking earned ATR points away from teachers. I recall that we all assumed that the TMO really needed the money for some higher purpose, or some project. Besides, everyone was afraid to speak up about their true feelings because there was the very real possibility of being blackballed from further participation in teaching or ATR. Cause if Jerry could be given the cold shoulder, anyone could.
