So two of the four people running against Kirkham (Woods and Morgan) were her former employees?
Who were the other two people running against her? Did they also know her in any way?
I've never heard the lady's name, but the scant reading I've done about her in these links makes it sound as if some people strongly disliked her???
David Morgan
Mr. Morgan has a BS in Industrial engineering and a Masters in Organizational Management. His web site shows an extensive work history but mostly as a plant manager. I do know he has never worked for Teresa Kirkham.

Woods is distantly related to my former sister in law. I went to high school w/ Cheryl Wester Laxton. I've heard that Kirkham was doing some things to make life difficult for Woods, but that's all anybody is saying so far.
