Suzanne Mucha, on behalf of her father, Gene Barber, is requesting a waiver for the following reasons:
Mr. Barber has had medical issues and has now been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. He has broken both hips, which has resulted in him not being able to drive, use a computer, or perform his job duties. He would appreciate if the Ethics Board would waive his fees. Suzanne Mucha states he is very ill and is currently unable to do any paper work. She would appreciate any kindness the Ethics Board would consider.
Mr. Barber moved and is not receiving all of his forwarded mail.
