Gordon Gould submitted his resignation from his position on
the 3oard as Secretary. The reason being: That the time the
board position requires in beginning to interfere with his work
as a staff assistant to the organization, and his work as a
student at the University of '4ashington. As a Councilman from
Algona, he will still remain a regular member of VRPC.
