Re: Fw: SC & MC

["David Lass" <davidlass@villasunscape.com>]

Hi Folks --
It seems to me that we should neither penalize nor es[ecially help someone
who is in the upper echelons of AGA when they have a book they wish to sell.
If it meets the standards of whoever sets those standards in terms of what
we offer for sale, we should sell the book. From what I have heard, Diana's
book meets our standards, and therefore I can see no reason why we should
not sell it.
Hope this helps.
David
