In response to Paul Major’s accusation that I was appointed to the Task Force based on my friendship with Gale Sumpter:
It is true that I’m friends with Gale. I’ve known her since our karate days in the late ’80s and early ’90s, and I value her friendship dearly.
However, I believe my appointment to the Task Force has nothing to do with my friendship with Gale.
Paul, please get your facts straight.
At the meeting on Jan. 8, Paul Major requested that I apply for membership on the Task Force.
The following week Mike Daniels, whom I’ve known since third grade and consider a close friend, asked me to be on the Task Force.
Finally, when Carolyn Van Horn asked that I offer my time to the Task Force, I figured I could help the community solve our common dilemma concerning grandfathering.
