Frank Camaratta has resigned from the USCF Executive Board over the
decision by the board to "outsource" the books and equipment business.

I believe that the decision to outsource the books and equipment
business is a major mistake which may well be the death knell of the
USCF.

Over the last 65 years that the USCF has been in business, the only
consistently profitable area has been the sale of books and equipment.
Without that business, it is doubtful that the USCF could have
survived.

Therefore, I announce that I am a candidate for election for the seat
vacated by Frank Camaratta. My number one plank is that the books and
equipment business should be reinstated.
