Dear Doug,
As you know, I was unable to attend the last three Historic Site Preservation Board meetings due to conflicts with
work travel. As my travel obligations for work will continue to be unpredictable and frequent, I feel it's best for me
to resign my position on the Historic Site Preservation Board.
I have enjoyed working with all members of the board and am regretful that changes to my professional schedule
preclude me from continuing to participate fully as a board member.
Sincerely,
Shevlin Rush
