One thing just came to my mind - in 'sexual harassment' cases, the proof lies in the victim's perception. Because everyone has different 'threshhold' to certain emotions, the majority will need to 'yield' to the minority, however unecessary it might seem.

Because of my brain surgeries and chemotherapies, I have some problem in the 'short-term' memory area. It is very hard for me to learn new tasks, especially the 'easy' ones that only take others 'seconds' to learn. [Because I won't have time to use my 'compensatory' skills and mechanism to lock it into my 'long-term memory.]

A couple of months after I joined the board in 2007 (?) during my recurrence, I realized that I had joined the board in 2003 (or 2004) during my first breast cancer treatment. I was busy attending teacher training classes in 2004 after my chemo and probably did not feel the need to visit the board. Part of the reason could also be my cognitive problems - I could have simply forgotten about it. (Now you know why none of the schools would renew my teaching contracts - it had become a 'safety' issue.)

Because of my own experience, I tend to think the members who had 'vanished' from the board are either no longer with us physically or just not feel the need to visit the board at the time.

It amazes me how much effort Joe and Christine have put into this Board. It amazes me even more how many brave souls are here daily to attend to each others' need. I have always believed in 'Love never fails'. And I believe and hope 'Love, keep us together." [Any Captain and Tennile fans out there?
