Actually, Paula, make that two. Both Dania Karloff and Paul Root posted their reasons for voting as they did. Lanalee In a message dated 8/18/2009 3:34:53 P.M.

None of the others have explained....their friends have made excuses for them, but, no explanations. They just ignore the whole issue. That is enough for me to withhold my votes for these people. Once I learn that someone appears to be not trustworthy, and they do nothing to dissuade that perception, what else is one to assume? Cowardice? Ego? Discourtesy? Whatever the reason, I don't want them entrusted with running our club. There are TOO many other, trustworthy, honest, brave, candid, open, ethical candidates to run for office and for us to choose from.
