Would the Zoom thing be open to out-of-staters?

Hey Gary,

 

I hope you are well. Your kind words are both refreshing and appreciated. Your comments regarding not relying on thirdhand information is spot-on. We can all do our part to help lessen the potential of third-party information from being used to misconstrued a situation, by keeping these types of communications restricted to those who are directly involved with the matter.    

 

On a separate note, A couple of friends and I are planning an audio described Star trek Discovery watch party on Zoom. If anyone out there wants to join, please call, text, or email me using the contact details below. I do not have a time or date as of yet, but I will send an email to the list when plans are finalized.

 

Warmly,

Edward Shaham

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.
