_______________________________________________I was on that committee, then Frank asked privately if I would yield my position to him. I agreed which I thought replaced me with him though I'm happy to stay on the committee if help is needed. Might have been better to do this at a meeting, or for Frank to announce that it had been done while he was president.-------------------------------------------Stephen G.
