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.

In view of this comment, I thought the posts, 31374 and 31413, might be of interest. 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?
