Apparently the earthquake was felt in places here in NH, but I didn't feel it and no one I've talked to did and my sister-in-law was on a ladder painting her house.

A side not about the weather, I spent 4 years in FL and had one tropical storm hit, now I"m back in NH and it is looking like hurricane Irene could bring significant weather to NH and miss FL. Who'd have a thought I'd be thinking about a hurricane here in NH.

At my office, we didn't feel it at all. However, we own a small business about 30 km east and they evacuated the whole plant.

They haven't been nominated for the Board of Directors, they've been chosen to serve on the nomination committee, the committee that evaluates the nominations for the Board.

Thanks for catching my goof. Went back and edited my post.

Again thanks for catching my error.

LOL... The name Roy Ernest and nominated for pass board does not go together. 🙂

We will just do reviews on the applicants for board members. I hope we do not piss too many people off 🙂 But it will be fun.

Actually I do think it is fun to piss people off! 😀

It's a good group on the NomCom. I know Bradley Ball since he is in the Orlando area and, of course, I know Roy from SSC, even though we've never met in person. Tom & Wayne are good to work with as well.

If you're not doing both, you're not having fun.
