Hi Jeff,
I received this answer to your post from Gerald Edgar. He is having
trouble replying to your post.
"Quick favor - have had trouble trying to get a response to BR Yahoo
site -
wanted to reply to new post of an NP His. Soc. mbr (re: genealogy) who
wanted to ck if his grandfather has been a mbr of the Q's Bd of Dirs.
As
the gentleman passed away in 1908, I checked my Q A.R's from then bacl
to
1890's - he was NOT listed as a director or an officer of the Corp.
Gerald:"
If you would like to contact him directly: vje68@h...
Good Luck.
