Evan, could you provide some additional historical background on the structure between the two organizations, how they were(or were not) supposed to operate(either together or independently). A couple of lingering questions have been on my mind, and since you were there, perhaps you can provide some insight a) Is the WDA a subsidiary of the GSDCA? b) How were the finances initially structured? c) What continued responsibilities did the GSDCA have? d) Do you have a copy of the articles of incorporation? If so, can you provide? e) Can the GSDCA dissolve the WDA? On 3/7/2013 11:01 AM, ELG440@xxxxxxx wrote: > Evan L.
