There is a HUGE amount of work t= be done in the next 9 -12 months. mostly the exact same work =hat i outlined in my email of 2 years ago. now complicated by years =f mess on top. ( you can send it again if you like ) . =rad wechsler=was never up to the task . sorry, I realize I have been =aying the very same thing for a long time. he was a not a step up fr=m Eileen but a step sideways. in the beginning the=e was Eileen and Tom and Ralph Lerner. all your hand picks. =AO then brad. john, Joe. . joslin was chosen from = pool of 2 people. each that would be limited by a salary of 250k. (=yes i personally augmented his comp in order to get him ) I did say=hire both Lisa to do the bookkeeping and joslin tax, He compl=ined for over a year, re his direction by eileen and ada , and then brad. His breakdo=n was not a surprise after months and moths of warnings. Thoug= disabled, he ran your office this year. with john and <=pan id="m_-8623789478910689534m_-2434106449994715214:27s.7">joe.

I ha=e taken heat for years over the fact that i gave you no more than =AO carlyns =ame, . no follow up questions no interactions , not even=one single question asked of me re her work.
