    <h4 class="titlesmall"> Update &#8211; August 11, 2005</h4>
    <p>I intentionally left this update untitled in my last update on August 3, 
      2005 for several reasons; among them being I expected to have heard back 
      from Jack McCarthy, Senior member of the Office of the Inspector General, 
      Commonwealth of Massachusetts and David Murray, Office of the Director, 
      Consumer Affairs &amp; Business Regulations, Commonwealth of Massachusetts.</p>
    <p>I guess, being the incurable optimist I am, I just expected that the truth 
      and the facts as I have presented them to validate the theory of a &#8220;colossal 
      conspiracy&#8221; by individuals and State entities to the aforementioned 
      regulatory agencies within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts would yield 
      a timely response to me and my attorneys.</p>
    <p>In the past 21 months the lies have traveled half way around the world, 
      while the truth is still waiting to be heard! The Funeral Monitor, a super 
      market tabloid if there ever was one, has taken a stance influenced by a 
      prominent individual, I can only name as &#8220;deep throat&#8221; at this 
      juncture. When this person&#8217;s identity is released, you will get a 
      much clearer idea of the ways and means of a desperate, yet professional, 
      character assassin.</p>
    <p>The subject to be addressed in this update is that of <strong>&#8220;PRIDE&#8221;</strong></p>
    <p><strong>&#8220;Pride&#8221;</strong> begins with a &#8220;vision&#8221; 
      &#8211; &#8220;an image that is strong and right makes you feel good about 
      yourself and all you do to reach out to help others as you do your best&#8221;</p>
    <p>I believe <strong><em>&#8220;Pride&#8221; drives our elected state officials. 
      </em></strong>I believe Governor Romney as does Attorney General Reilly 
      take great pride in their every day actions, activities, and accomplishments 
      in their respective roles in the state offices they were elected to by the 
      citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. I believe they each would 
      frown upon and outwardly condemn actions by appointed State personnel that 
      would jeopardize the trust and compromise the pride they have for the many 
      honorable, dedicated, and truly committed civil servants working in the 
      state government of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.</p>
    <p>On June 29, 2004, Ms. Kathy Cartmell-Sirrico, acting Chairman, State Board 
      of Registration of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, issued to me a Letter 
      to Show Cause. In the Letter to Show Cause, were numerous accusations of 
      fact (or supposed fact) as a result of a thorough investigation (or supposed 
      thorough investigation) by Mr. John Bresnahan, investigator for the State 
      Board. I had 21 days to request a hearing in this matter or else the State 
      Board would accept my non response as an admission of guilt in the matter. 
      I responded through counsel for a hearing within the designated timeframe. 
      Fourteen (14) months have now passed and NO hearing has taken place. WHY, 
      YOU ASK?</p>
    <p>I suggest to you, <strong>&#8220;It is the &#8216;Fear&#8217; of being 
      held accountable for one&#8217;s actions by a whole host of co-conspirators, 
      many appointed to serve in the capacity of the public trust.&#8221;</strong></p>
    <p>The frivolous statements of supposed fact in Ms. Cartmell-Sirrico&#8217;s 
      Letter to Show Cause have NO BASIS IN FACT and the conjured up accusations 
      have their foundation in blatant lies by funeral directors and the former 
      Chairman, Board of Registration of Funeral Directors and Embalmers &#8211; 
      all located in Central Massachusetts. The hardship and imposition that has 
      faced many families as a result of the loss of a loved one and being thrust 
      into a situation wherein they had to seek out a new relationship in order 
      to bury their loved one, is beyond my comprehension. I cannot fathom how 
      those directly and indirectly involved in the lies and corruption &#8220;I 
      am prepared to prove &#8211; given the opportunity&#8221; can live one day 
      of their lives - let alone the rest of their lives.</p>
    <p>The lack of<strong> &#8220;Pride&#8221;</strong> in oneself and the lack 
      of <strong>&#8220;honor&#8221;</strong> in standing for the truth &#8211; 
      even if it hurts &#8211; is the essence of the issues of which I reference.</p>
    <p>Time Has Now Come For<strong> &#8220;ACCOUNTABILITY!&#8221;</strong> I 
      cannot and I will not settle for anything less. The truth is &#8220;screaming 
      to be heard&#8221; and the families unjustly brought into this conspiracy 
      by funeral directors with ulterior motives and endorsed and encouraged by 
      members of the State Board of Registration for Funeral Directors and Embalmers, 
      are outraged by the accusations and allegations made, and &#8220;demand&#8221; 
      to be heard.</p>
    <p>I call upon Governor Romney to get personally involved.</p>
    <p>I call upon Attorney General Reilly to get personally involved.</p>
    <p>For we can not now or ever allow anyone to compromise the integrity, honor, 
      and pride we all must have in those who are elected or selected to serve 
      and represent the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.</p>
