Except for the fact that he may not want this, why would Baroni not be a better candidate for the BoD.

From what I read of Gloria Felcyn, her bio states that she is trained in forensic accounting. My understanding of this specialty is that a forensic accountant is trained to look for falsifications and manipulations of accounts. If and this is a big IF...something has not been kosher with TPL's accounting, shouldn't she have picked up on this long ago, especially since she indicated that she had access to their books?

She represented Helmut Faulk Sr. years ago which is why I assume she is on the board today. Helmut Faulk Jr was probably also appointed because of his father. I think we can assume that Johnson was appointed because of his connections with Swartz and the funding issues. Somehow this whole connection thing makes me a little uncomfortable.

Clock is ticking......start throwing out some names. Also, John Burns, CEO of Holocom might be another good candidate. Maybe we can come up with three good people and vote three others out.
