I worked with Dan Noble on the union's whistle blower case, and I found him hard-working, personable, and dedicated. These actions are completely out of character with the man I know and respected.<BR>

Hi Roger,<BR>
<BR>
I don't know him, either, but I know of him. In my quest to understand why<BR>
& how the UI decided to sell employees the pig-in-a-poke health insurance<BR>
scheme, I researched everything I could find going back years & years,<BR>
including meeting minutes. Since Mr. Noble was the chair of the Staff<BR>
Affairs Committee at one time, I came across his name and he certainly<BR>
seemed very dedicated to do his very best, an attribute that in most<BR>
employment settings would serve him well. In recent years with the various<BR>
scandals -- financial & otherwise -- condoned by top UI administrators, I<BR>
can't help but wonder if that very attribute was unwelcome by some in his<BR>
work environment.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for sharing your wife's impressions -- based on what I know, I would<BR>
agree with her.<BR>
<BR>
Very sad, indeed, and I hope some sense can be made of this tragedy, both<BR>
for Mr. Noble and for his victims.<BR>

I do not know him personally, but my wife has worked with him. She says he<BR>
is a nice guy and is very dedicated and an extremely hard worker. She<BR>
thinks he does more work than Baker and Mues put together. It is really sad<BR>
when a guy of his caliber has this kind of a problem. Lets all hope that the<BR>
Psych. evaluation comes up with with an answer.<BR>
