    <p>In the Update for October 7, 2005 I presented my request dated September 
      29, 2005 for an<strong> &#8220;advisory opinion&#8221;</strong> from the 
      State Board of Registration of Funeral Directors &amp; Embalmers, and indicated 
      I would publish the response when it was received. The response from the 
      State Board was dated December 6, 2005, posted on December 8, 2005, and 
      received by me on Saturday, December 10, 2005. To my surprise and shock, 
      to be quite honest, the response was the first professional response I have 
      had from the State Board or Division of Professional Licensure in more than 
      25 months; yet I and my attorneys have responded professionally and timely 
      to each and every request made of us during this time. At some point in 
      the very near future as we publish the results of our investigation, you 
      will see for yourself the professionalism and attention to detail that is 
      emblematic of how I do business; and the blatant disregard for fairness, 
      justice, and impartiality by a prejudiced, biased, and corrupt State Board 
      now attempting to hide behind its unethical incompetence. </p>
    <p>After presenting the response from Mr. Edward P. Mazur, Secretary of the 
      State Board, I shall present a congratulatory letter of sorts I addressed 
      to Mr. Mazur on Tuesday, December 13, 2005 and requesting an answer to a 
      question posed to the State Board by me and my attorneys on numerous occasions 
      in the past 25 months &#8211; an answer yet to be received.</p>

      <p>Mr. Edward P. Mazur, Secretary<br>
        Board of Registration in<br>
        Embalming &amp; Funeral Directing<br>
        239 Causeway Street<br>
        Boston, MA 02114</p>
      <p>Dear Mr. Mazur:</p>
      <p><strong>Re: Advisory Ruling dated December 6, 2005</strong></p>
      <p>I am extremely grateful for your response to my request for an advisory 
        opinion dated September 29, 2005.</p>
      <p>This is the first time in more than two (2) years of corresponding with 
        the State Board and Division of Professional Licensure wherein I can term 
        the response from either entity as being professional. Again, I express 
        my deepest appreciation.</p>
      <p>It is not my intent to press my luck, but I shall make one additional 
        request of you &#8211; the same request that has been made by me and my 
        attorneys on numerous occasions in the past 25 months and to which we 
        have yet to receive an answer.</p>
      <p>I have been licensed by the State Board since 1967. During this time 
        and up to November 19, 2003 it is my belief and recollection that I had 
        NEVER filed a complaint with the State Board of Registration of Embalming 
        &amp; Funeral Directing. My official request of you is to confirm or deny 
        my belief and recollection of this fact.</p>
      <p>Your timely response is anticipated and appreciated.</p>
      <p>Mr. Mazur, I look forward to meeting you at the hearing finally scheduled 
        in 2006, and at that time I shall pose a number of questions to you, Mr. 
        Barile, and Ms. Cartmell-Siricco.</p>
      <p>Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.</p>
      <p>Best regards,</p>
      <p><br>
        Philip G. Haddad, Jr.<br>
        9 Kenwood Avenue<br>
        Worcester, MA 01605-1321<br>

    <p>I have been requested to withhold publishing the findings from our investigation 
      until after a meeting was to be held on December 15, 2005 &#8211; meeting 
      now postponed until the 1st week of January 2006. I shall honor this request 
      and withhold disclosing the results of our investigation through the 1st 
      week of January; after which the results will be published and distributed 
      and ALL previous updates will reappear on this web site. </p>
    <p><strong><em>&#8220;I thank you for your support, encouragement, and prayers; 
      and Carolyn and I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas at this most 
      blessed time of the year.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
