I reiterate Dick: I am demanding that you cease these baseless claims. Both President Roderick AND Chairman Ryan have seen the NCJ contract. I will copy the segments you are raising doubts about, but your behavior continues to cause me to question your motives, and your routinely incomplete, false, and fictitious communications are unacceptable – to the board, to members, and otherwise. I will have exactly what you need at A&F tomorrow – the signature page referencing an amendment, and the signed amendment. In the meantime, please speak to President Roderick. You may still be aware that he is an attorney. He has read the salient language you elude to being absent from the contract - and specifically called it out upon reading it.

I hope a few of the Board members see through this hiding of something that there couldn't be anything to hide if it was as described. Dick Norton/W5 In a hospital in Dallas. Long story. No reason to have been here. Coming on three hours since I was verbally told I was being released. Expect to be at the A&F meeting.

You also would not have tried to have the A&F Chair request it after the fact on your behalf, with the intent of obscuring that the contract was being provided to you. Per usual, you misrepresent the truth to your own benefit and to my detriment in front of the rest of the board. The President and Chair of A&F have read the contract regarding NCJ from front to back. Please provide me with EXACTLY what information you are looking for from the contract. I will not give you a copy of the contract in an anticipated twisting of words to attack Becky and her staff with exactly this kind of non-sensical claim. I am leaving the office at 4pm today. Your request for specifically what you are looking for must be received by me prior to that. I will note, again, that your last minute information requests during the days leading up to a board meeting are not appreciated. Your requests must be timely. Hours before leaving the office is inconsistent with that notion.
