[Nfbf-l] Joyce Hildreth Resigns

[Tara Prakash]

Hi Dan. The kind of people you are referring to have nothing to lose if DBS 
becomes more inefficient, or it becomes defunct. Hopefully, DBS will not 
stop its services in the absence of the leader.
I believe we can start building public opinion behind you or Dwight. Either 
of you will be more efficient than Joyce Hilldrith. But it is a challenging 
time to lead anything throughout the US, the case is much worse in Florida.
