Barbara Joyce Buller stated she has Glaucome and in December 2021, one of her eyes swelled, so her Ophthalmologist changed her medicine. She was then scheduled to have Dementia Testing. One of her children "left" for South Bend, Indiana; and a granddaughter returned home from military leave at Fort Drum in New York. Ms. Buller said these activities, along with Covid-19 fears took precedence over her completing and submitting her annual disclosure. Ms. Buller asks the Ethics Board to forgive her lack of punctuality.
