<br>
To raise another consideration from the peanut gallery, the letter<br>
specifically advises Evergreen to seek independent legal advice. As a<br>
matter of due diligence, is there another attorney available to the<br>
Board who can review the letter and (of much more import) provide<br>
advice and review as the formation of the non-profit proceeds?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
