<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I am quite flattered to see my

NY.  It is going to be an incredible amount of work.  With this in
mind, I cannot in good conscience take on a position to which I cannot devote
the time that I should.  The VP position deserves someone who could do a
fabulous job.  I believe that Gaeir and Teresa are both excellent
candidates.  If I could, I’d vote for both of them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
