Hi Jean, I too have heard all about the claims to evidence however, when I inquire deeper, there is never anything but claims. There are not any suit file numbers or articles except the one from the Monitor and I personally do not put my believes in that rag. I can say for certain, when the decision to excommunicate Maxi Aids was presented to the membership at the 2002 legislative seminar I began to ask questions and was told by people from the Bay State council that all this evidence existed but non was ever produced. Additionally, I was informed by others who voted nay that there was no stopping what happened. As you know, when a motion is made, in accordance with Roberts Rules the debate is done and the vote is called. Thus, I only want to say, I can name an equal amount of people who say that there was not a shred of evidence presented. Mike
