Jim Puplava appears to me to be a very kind, decent, and fair man. He's a sensitive man too. He once sent me an email expressing that he was very hurt after receiving a certain amount of hate mail. I commiserated with him since I'm also no stranger to that experience.

Mr. Puplava, needless to say, is extraordinarily intelligent and wise. So being on his coat tails seems like a safe place to be. We are very lucky to have him near.

God bless JP.

My best,
