In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Rachel Lagarde-Bazile states that she was out of town when the 30-P report was due and did not realize she had to file it. She also stated that she faxed the 10-P and 10-G reports timely, but she was having trouble with her phone service at the time and they did not go through.
