You raise an interesting question. We had the same problem with Frank
Niro. At one point, Frank Niro disappeared for six weeks, saying that
he was going to Palm Beach Gardens to investigate the planned move by
the USCF there.

After he had left office, we found that Frank Niro had had only one
meeting with the Palm Beach Gardens people, and that meeting was
brief.

This was before Niro notoriously disappeared in August 2003 when he
left the USCF Offices in New Windsor supposedly on his way to the USCF
delegates meeting in Los Angeles but never got there.

Niro and Hall have followed similar patterns in other ways as well,
such as making secret deals with Polgar without informing the board. I
wonder what motivates them to keep making these secret deals.

The various excuses Bill Hall has made for not coming in to work have
been publicly made by him. All I did is simply add them up in put them
in one post. For example, right now my wife is seriously ill in the
hospital. I have told several people about it. Can I then sue somebody
else for reporting it?

Right now, it is the duty and the obligation of the board to deal with
the Bill Hall problem. For example, Bill Hall was supposed to have
visited the playing site for the 2007 US Open and Delegates Meeting in
Cherry Hill NJ, especially since the hotel is under renovation. Bill
Hall canceled the trip some months ago because of an "infected toe".
He still to date has not gone there. Is his toe still infected? Can
the USCF wait for the infection of his toe to be cured, or will we
have to get another Executive Director because he is unable to do the
job?

Why is not this a valid subject for discussion on the USCF Issues
Forum?
