He told me that new boards deserve their own directors and he was honoring that long-held custom. I think it is a sad loss of talent, but from what he says, he was not forced out. I haven't known him to be anything but forthright and truthful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217963475185024609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077386656187888581.post-88604125099335005812012-10-08T19:51:08.147-04:002012-10-08T19:51:08.147-04:00I meant to sign the previous comment on the "...I meant to sign the previous comment on the "new" board members.
