There are a lot of personal 'feelings' between the old VCA guard and Hen. I know this b/c as a past president, I was told I could take sponsorship $$$ from _anyone_ to help make the Zone Rendevouz happen.
so after we took Hen's $$ (he was very generous and several GA members have his stuff / like him / have no issues w/ him) I got a call from the national president saying a) don't tell anyone we had this talk, and b) you have to give him his $$ back. Apparently RSI got their ******* in a *** about being a sponsor at the same time AND there was an unwritten and unspoken BAN on Hen that a few people knew about (but that isn't universally shared w/ presidents). apparently Hen isn't allowed to attend events either. That isn't to say that Hen doesn't try to be involved when he shouldn't... if it were me i'd play it like a game just the same.
but the point is that there is some bad blood w/ Hen and the old guard-VCA. I like Hen from my personal interactions with him and his customers (in GA) like him.
Oh yeah, and if I were ever in a bar fight, i'd want him on MY side.
