[committee] [wheel] Removal (suspension) of Frekk from wheel

[Felix von Perger]

Thank you John for actually communicating with me directly.

I'm not sufficiently motivated to maintain a relationship with the club 
to justify working through what appears to be yet another series of 
miscommunications being blown out of proportion.

Please consider this my resignation from the Wheel group, and further as 
my resignation as a member of the Door group.

Best regards,

Felix von Perger [FVP]
