Camilla Flintermann, CG for Peter, 79/8, Oxford,Ohio [log in to unmask] Camilla : It is clear that a ground swell of voices do not support the position that Ivan has taken with respect to his continual attack against the NPF. If there was any real merit to his claim he should have taken appropriate legal steps to resolve the matter rather than using this forum for extrajudical attack. If Ivan had devoted this expenditure of money and TIME to visit the doctor he certainly could have hung around for the 21/2 hours for the Doctor to complete his rounds and then see Ivan. An attempt was made to rectify the error but Ivan chose to leave and have dinner with his Dad from what I gathered on the internet comments. Even $2200 is a lot of money for a two day trip to Florida with a companion. It can be done for about one half that costs if you shop for air fare specials. As far as giving money to the APDA. I think anybody is crazy to give them your money in light of the fact that a prior officer or director has been sentenced to and is /or was serveing jail time for stealing about $ 1,000,000. I will not suspend my contrabutitions to the NPF to support this tirade of Ivans against the NPF because I think he is totally off base in his actions. I know others who have remained silent on this issue for the sake of list harmony but when you attempt to speak on my behalf on this matter I felt compell to interject my position. Me thinks he doth protest to much Dale Severance [log in to unmask] Syracuse, New York * * >>
