44. If she doesn't step down, she is sounding the death knell...

for SKG, imo. It may already be too late to save it but, if she stubbornly clings to the position, she is NOT doing it in her sister's memory, imo. she is doing it for her own ego.

I know I will NEVER again buy anything, participate in or support anything SKG is organizing. There are others, I have little doubt, who might, if she and the board step down, will go back to supporting them, not I.
