GRF owes residents respect
On this day of Feb. 11, after what happened in Egypt, I would like to suggest that the GRF Board needs to begin to think of the shareholder/members.
We do not need to continually read on the pages of the GRNews one-sided comments by the GRF Board.
First at the end of January on the first page from the GRF president and then on Feb. 10 under Perspectives another comment. It is with much sorrow to learn that GRF Board members call the shareholder/members that speak at the GRF meetings “know nothings.”
Many of the members are activists just as we have seen in Cairo.  We have not “retired our critical thinking hat,” but that could be what has happened to some of our representatives on the GRF Board. Why has Larry Blake been removed when several of the GRF Board members have cost us over $1million when they sued the shareholder/members and lost?  Why were these same GRF Board members not censored or removed from their positions on the GRF Board?
The so-called “know nothings” want Larry Blake reinstated to the vice president position and the chair of the Executive Committee immediately, because he was standing up for the shareholder/members.  We were finally represented in Leisure World.
