My response to Mr. Russell

This was what I responded to Mr. (Hanon) Russell:

Hanon,

I do not know about other board members but Paul and I were not told about the House of Staunton deal. We first heard about the (legal) problems at the latest board meeting.

Susan Polgar

I have to add that this is not the first time where important matters were hidden from other board members, at least to Paul and me, until serious problems occurred. There were instances in the past where the current USCF President and the current the USCF Executive Director made decisions in various critical matters without disclosing them to the other board members. Significant decisions which involve legal matters were made without the knowledge of anyone else. Some of these decisions have created serious legal problems for this federation, and money is being unnecessarily wasted.
