i believe everyone knows why thames was removed from the vice presidency in the mid-eighties. the problem is that the evidence of this removal has been destroyed or deeply buried. some members of the ihl board was seeking this evidence before hiring thames, but could not find it. if you have access to this information, or know anyone connected to this event, please supply same to the local newspapers and television stations.
