does anyone know if there is any past business relationships between the present BOD and richard murphy of independent nickel. this could be interesting. any back ground on him. age. could be a good fit.

------------------------------------...

Here is something that I found: Thomas Obradovich was on the Independent Nickel BOD with Richard Murphy. Obradovich was also with Aurelian. A weak link indeed to the Noront BOD but not much else to read tonight. And, we don't even know if Richard Murphy is being considered. So, Murphy had somebody from Aurelian on his BOD. Big deal. Well, that might be to some people here. But, still doesn't mean much. So, why post it? Just bored, I guess!
