Duke,

Ya know, and I'm just noodlin' here, but since your going to be on the Board, an' all, and since I used to teach this in law school, it might be worthy of comment that the Foundation is allowed its tax exempt status under 501(c)(3) because it maintains a PASSIVE role, as dictated by 4900 et. seq. of the Internal Revenue Code.

Interesting note. What's the definition of "passive" as dictated by 4900, etc.? Does it allow a foundation to exercise the votes that their share ownership provides to them (which is all that the foundation is planning to do at this point)?

TIA,

Dave
