We all know that everyone is not going to see much (if any) improvement in the professional conduct of our MFs; however, as evidenced by the many favorable comments received from many of you here in our little town, there is good progress being made. We need to keep trying. In order to do this, we need your help. If an MP conducts himself (or herself) in an unprofessional manner, is rude or is observed breaking the law, youve got to let the Provost jh - .
