Okay, there you really did confuse me totally.

Just goes to show that text does not work as
telepathy. I really could not follow what you
were thinking about, and I had no clue you
were talking about a position that Frieda had
been filling.

When I read "board representative" I thought
you meant trustee. Silly me.


Yours,
