[Lnc-business] Appeal the ruling of the chair

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I will let you know what signed paperwork I get by the end of today.  It is
my understanding that they need to be signed yesterday.  But of course that
is up to the chair.

*In Liberty,*

* Personal Note:  I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome
(part of the autism spectrum).  This can affect inter-personal
communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
