</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:16pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hi,<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:16pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:16pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><span>         </span>I am writing
because for whatever reason, disruptive and negative things have been said
about Beth Rival.<span>   </span>I have known Beth for
over 20 years.<span>  </span>I do not believe that
Beth did what she is being accused of.<span>  
</span>Beth has been an important part of this affiliate for a long time.<span>   </span>She served as president for six years and
has been on the board in Different positions for many years.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:16pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:16pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">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.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:16pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:16pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><span>         </span>I believe
that Phil did not get accurate information about what Beth was doing or trying
to do to help Julie.<span>  </span>Receiving second or
third hand information can easily become misconstrued.<span>  </span>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.<span>  </span>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. <span></span></p>
