Chapter 26 - SILAS’S LAST BOARD MEETING

Silas retired fully at eighty-four.
His final motion:
No Bell family automatic board seats.
Merit-based selection.
Arthur objected faintly.
Helen supported.
That surprised everyone.
She said:
“If our name deserves a seat, we can earn it.”
Silas smiled.
Isaiah would approve.
He did.
Barely.
May you like
“Still too many meetings.”
