These minutes were transcribed by Matt Strait in 2021.  I did it
manually; no OCR.  Typos, if any, are marked with [sic] when noticed,
and anything else in square brackets is also my note.  Real underlining
in the typed original is simulated by surrounding words with underscores.
Otherwise, since the original is fixed-width, this rendition duplicates
the original formatting very closely.

[handwritten:] AGAIN, DANGEROUS MINN-STF MINUTES
[struck out by hand: "Minn - STF Business Meeting Minutes"] -- 1 March 75 -- at Al Kuhfeld's

In absence of President or Vice President, Secretary Denny Lien called meeting to
order at 3:07 p.m.  Joan Marie Verba appointed temporary Secretary in his place.

Dave Wixon brought up a point of order which was pointedly ignored [handwritten: "in an orderly fashion."]

Dick Tatge announced that there was to be a Secret Masters of Minn-STF Meeting
on Sunday, 2 March 75, at Don Blyly's apt. in the Bozo Bus Building.  Secret
Masters ("you know who you are") take note.

Lien announced that the meeting had been called for purposes of opening nominations
for the Minn-STF Board of Directors; anyone with other business should speak up.
No one did.  Lien mentioned that everyone should read the ground rules for the
election in the being-collated RUNE [handwritten: "42"] and/or as posted on Al's doorway.  With
announcement of basic ground rules (anyone may nominate, second, or be nominated,
but only Voting Members -- 51 to date-- may vote in the actual election on 29
March at Lien's; nominations open today and on 15 March at Bucklins'), the
nominations were opened, as follows:

Joan Marie Verba, nominated by Carol Stodolka, 2d by Dick Tatge.
Masked Wombat  (Denny Lien) nominated by Dick Tatge; declines the nomination.

At this point, Mark K. Digre made a Terrible Pun, which will be ignored.

Al Kuhfeld, nominated by Dick Tatge, 2d by Phil Voerding.
Blue Petal, nominated by Fred Haskell, 2d by Jan Appelbaum.

Denny Lien briefly appointed Mark K. Digre to chair the meeting, while he (Denny Lien)
nominated Don Bailey, 2d by Ken Fletcher;  Lein then resumed the chair before Mark K.
Digre realized what was going on, upon muttering of an instant coup.

Ruth Odren, nominated by Ken Fletcher, 2d by Dave Wixon.

Someone brought up Point of Oder: may someone who is not a Voting Mmember [sic] of Minn-
STF be nominated?  Answer: yes

Blue Petal moved (on strong hint of presiding officer) that nominations cease.  Dave
Wixon seconds.  Passed with one negative vote andone [sic] abstention.

Lien announced that he would entertain ((beg for?)) a motion that the meeting close.
Fred Haskell moves that the meeting close.  Sue Ryan seconds.  Vote agrees.

Meeting closed at 3:17.  17 nominations (excluding one who declined) to date: 16
human and one dog.  Election Chairperson Lien rules that Snuffy-Wuffy the Dog does
_not_ qualify as a Sentient Being as per Minn-STF Constitution By-Law I. 1.b; if

                                                                     [signed: Denny Lien]
