I am a former Trustee. I know that means nothing. Part of why I stepped down |

contacted in private regarding foundation matters. I did not feel comfortable |
| 17 |
discussing any of that in private. I felt it all should be in public. |

The atmosphere is responsible for the bad more than individuals. |
