what I perceived to be his strong belief that the Board is and should be the operational management of Ocean Pines.

What specifics led you to such a conclusion?

Ray Unger, though less academically qualified than Gomsak, clearly understands the role and responsibility of the Board based on three years of experience. His primary concern is the health and well being of OPA property owners' investment in Ocean Pines. Witness his recent motion to dump an outrageous 99 year lease offer from Leighton Moore for our bayside property.

I believe Gomsak has a similar interest in the investments of association members. I didn't hear Gomsak support the lease. I believe he said the issue would soon resolve itself, or words to that effect. He also said no such lease should be undertaken unless the offer was exceptional. Gomsak should have been clearer, perhaps, but I sensed no support on his part for the lease.

BTW, didn't you at one time suggest looking into selling that land to Moore? I am certain you suggested looking into an idea to develop the ocean front property with condos while maintaining some OPA parking and use rights. Thus, for me, your comments about Gomsak on his response regarding the lease smack somewhat of hypocrisy. Based on what Gomsak said, he doesn't favor the lease under consideration but would not preclude consideration of some exceptional offer. I suspect your own views in that regard coincide with Gomsak's.

We don't need any more Board members who want to be the hands-on management of Ocean Pines.

Guess that means you won't be running again.
