General Counsel was in the hospital around that time. Also, it was when 
we were working on items related to the building purchase, and move. See 
notes below.

We relied heavily on volunteer counsel for some things, like the building.

We'd be happy to have the I.T. Committee involved in future 
photocopier/printer postage machine projects. And to make sure future 
contracts are sent to our new Special Counsel.
