... I would be interested in [the opinions of Dr. Leroy Dubeck, Dr.
Tim
Redman , E. Steven Doyle, and Beatriz Marinello] about who they might
be supporting. ...

In view of this comment, I thought the

Louis,
Thank you. So, if I understand you correctly, can you help clarify how
you think what Joe said as well as what Bill heard about the reason
behind what some consider a joke award, helps address Randy's question
about who these past USCF presidents may support in the current
election?
Regards,

Bill Goichberg was severely critical of the group that had presented
me with the award for "Shining Light on the United States Chess
Federation 2007". Goichberg arrived just a few minutes after I had
been given the award and he angrily went around complaining about it.
I suspect that whomever told him that it was a "joke" did so to
deflect criticism from Goichberg.
There were about one thousand people present in the audience when I
was presented with this plaque. I doubt that any of them considered it
to be a joke.
I clearly deserved the award. In the eight months that I have been on
the board, I have exposed more insider secrets than probably anybody
in the history of the USCF. Bill Goichberg may not like it but I
believe that the general membership applauds.

PS Learn how to spell Marinello. I have corrected the spelling of her
name.
I deserve this award.
