[nfbmi-talk] updating mcb information

Mon Feb 28 17:50:56 UTC 2011

Hi joe,

It sounds like this can be accomplished and have some of the $20 million
left over for lunch during Commission meetings!  (smile)

Warm Regards,

Fred

Subject: [nfbmi-talk] updating mcb information

Given Fred's great thread I'd think that one way MCB could improve its
services is to use its own web site  to inform the public about its affairs
and so on. But they haven't been very good in updating it for years. Acase
in point is their current directory online which I'll post in full after my
signature line. There are numerous individuals listed as current employees
who no longer work for MCB inclisted here including several that took early
retirement last year.

Joe
