FC board : 11/5/2009
Mrs. Gaskill will be missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a true shame to lose a board member that was the voice of reason in so many discussions
FC Board : 11/8/2009
i didn't see much voice of reason at the last board meeting from her. Particular when she was yelling at her opponent or throwing someone's umbrella. It's time for a change at FC.
Really : 11/9/2009
Enjoy the 'change'. Now you folks get a vote all to yourself. Of course, the reasonable votes will still prevail, and there will be one less grandstander in the audience.
