[Nfbmo] Description of NFB of Missouri Committees

Fri Feb 18 14:47:03 UTC 2011

 Good morning, Bryan. I am surprised this message was directed to a list
rather than to Shelia as the former Chair, Gene as the new one or me as the
person who appoints committees. If you want me to respond publicly, let me
know. If privately, I'll do that as well. Let me know.

Gary

Sorry, Just noticed I replied to a listserve message instead of a message
that I thought was directed to me.

hi,

i'm not surprised that i was removed from ways and means and Penny Perr was
chosen from st. louis.
do you have a list that shows the changes for all committees?

changing names still doesn't address the issues of irritation!
