Hi Robert:<BR>
<BR>
No, Mary did not write the letter. Antonette, or someone from the board, wrote a draft letter that they wanted the NFB to sign onto. They contacted Mary about signing onto the letter. I think they must have provided that draft letter like we provide draft letters sometimes to people to make it easier for them to support something. Like the draft letter we provided in support of Fred Schroeder this year. Anyway, Mary forwarded the letter onto to me to share with CAGDU and respond to. She did not support the letter. She said that she has told Antonette that she does not think we can support the Board. I don't know why Mary's name is on the letter. Maybe whoever wrote the draft included it on there. But Mary did not write the letter supporting the board.<BR>
