the Board is charged with. Sunday he read of Trustee Colfer's resignation.

opinion that the Board should first reflect on how they, themselves were put
into office. He reminded the members of the pledge they had taken at the
time they ran for election and what they campaigned for. He felt that
unless some formal deliberations were made he would abstain from any vote
on the motion.

inv~ited to participate in any discussions regarding an appointment, and
should have had a voice in all deliberations.
