SudburyBoy1,

A very fair question that you ask and one that I suspect other GNH shareholders will ponder this summer, with ballots in hand.

I've interacted with Larry on a few occasions in person and can simply say this. He is unlike anyone else I have ever met in my life. Truly. He is a brilliant man, with intelligence that reaches out to many, many areas. His scientific and geological mind allow him to observe, comtemplate, question and bring forth solutions at an extremely high level. One thing that has impressed me through the years, is Larry's ability to communicate ideas to all levels of understanding and to educate in a way that doesn't make you feel like he is "dumbing down" important information.

Some here have been concerned about Larry's relationship with management, that perhaps he is too close and will not be effective. I disagree completely. Larry will ask the tough questions and will use his skill set to offer up suggestions/improvements where they might be needed. I simply cannot think of another shareholder that GNH would trust to come on board as a Director. Larry is an honest man....hard working, determined and fully engaged when on task. Larry is a shareholder who believes strongly in the GNH story. He will make GNH shine brighter and will deliver on his promises to shareholders.

If Larry has thrown his hat into the ring, then you can be completely certain that he has the time and energy for this endeavor. Larry is the type of individual who only takes on projects when he feels that he can make a difference. I know he will do his best and I also know that he will turn over every stone....every stone.

DD? Ask anyone here or in the industry who knows and works with the man. His reputation is flawless.

Thank-you for asking this question. It is important that potential candidates be considered carefully.

Most Sincerely,

OG/Pam
