Still Nothing on Jim Vernon

I've been waiting for a profile or a news story or an email from someone at the USGA who reads this blog about Jim Vernon. I've gotten nothing. The only thing I've seen outside of the press release was this from AP's Doug Ferguson:

USGA PRESIDENT: Jim Vernon has been nominated to a one-year term as president of the USGA, replacing Walter Driver. The election of Vernon, other officers and the 15-member executive committee will take place Feb. 9 in Houston at the annual meeting.Vernon has been vice president for two years and spent four years as chairman of the Equipment Standards Committee. He is a past president of the board of the California Golf Association and the Southern California Golf Association.Jim Hyler of Raleigh, N.C., and Cameron Jay Rains of San Diego were nominated as vice presidents.
That's it?! Someone send me something to go off of here! Or, is that part of the strategy? Keep it so hush-hush because of what happened with Driver this summer? Vernon sounds very likeable from the few quotes I have read from him. Let's get to know this guy!
