Subject: Stock Purchase

Cameron,

If I have my facts wrong I apologize now, I will apologize later, and I will do everything I can to set the record straight. This is going around and concerns our membership. I figure I am best going to the source for the facts.

A little birdie informed me several days ago that you have purchased 28 shares of WSC stock for your personal account with no intention of placing these shares into the WSC stock buyback program.

Not believing that you, as an officer of WSC, would self deal I have checked around. It seems to be true?

If this is true (if not -- inform us) I would like you to consider:

You are a director, Commodore, and officer of WSC.
The WSC board passed a motion this year under your watch authorizing a stock buyback program.
The existence of the buyback program was not effectively communicated to the membership or the stockholders.
Board consensus was against providing our stockholders with a balance sheet.
Each board member is effectively a buying agent for WSC with the charge of pursuing outstanding stock for the WSC buyback program.
Board members have had access to stockholder records NOT generally made available to other members or stockholders.
We need to be very careful with the trust of our membership.

In this light, it is my opinion that any stock purchases arranged by a board member should be in the name of WSC and WSC should have right of first refusal on any stock acquired.

I hope that the lead line which I share with our membership will read "Good work by Cameron Coburn has secured 28 shares of stock for the WSC stock buyback program." ?
