You should serve on the board first. Then decide if you want to run again. Serving on the board is interesting, hard work, no pay, no credit and a lot of blame. I am glad I did it, but would never do it again. I wish Ed could say the same. All he did was not get elected. It isn't the same. While I will not say how I am going to vote on the white issue, I will say, I would vote for Ed as often as I could. Evan In a message dated 8/20/2014 9:47:51 A.M.
