You make a good point, Rich. When we get a historian in place it will be the responsibility of all the Board members to ensure the appointed individual provides an unbiased version of our history. The most important duty we have is to carefully select and appoint an unbiased historian in the beginning. I would bet that among the silent majority in the Project there are several individuals with the education and training for the position, perhaps retired and willing to take on the job. And the people in the best position to know that is our State Coordinators. I am sure that Tim will ask them when the time comes. Joe RichPump wrote: > > Actually I have several questions.
