[CT-NFB] Beth Rival

[Gary Allen]

Hi,



         I am writing because for whatever reason, disruptive and negative
things have been said about Beth Rival.   I have known Beth for over 20
years.  I do not believe that Beth did what she is being accused of.   Beth
has been an important part of this affiliate for a long time.   She served
as president for six years and has been on the board in Different positions
for many years.



At the same time, I have known Phil Magalnick for four or five years and He
is someone that I like and consider a friend.



         I believe that Phil did not get accurate information about what
Beth was doing or trying to do to help Julie.  Receiving second or third
hand information can easily become misconstrued.  I do not believe that
Phil would have done anything to hurt anyone. Beth has gone out of her way
to help numerous people in the Connecticut affiliate including Julie in the
past. Beth does not deserve to be treated this way.  If we had better
communication in the Connecticut affiliate this could have been prevented.
This has caused hurt feelings that did not need to happen to both families.
I hope we can put this ugly incident behind us and move forward.
