Cuba 2 1/2, Kernes 1/2

Mike Ross addresses Mark Kernes: "Mark; Thank you for mentioning me in your response to Mr. Zaborney's comments. What I don't understand is, why was I brought up, and why did you make those comments?

"For instannce, 'make the FSC in his own image?'. That's so negative, unless.......

"That means making it successful and important to the industry, then thank you. If that means make the FSC an equal participant in the political process, again, thank you. If that means reorganizing to be more effective, thank you. And If that means "doing something", thank you.

"As for 'dissing you', why do you say that? Thanks again, I look forward to working with you on the FSC Board; Mike Ross"
