[Lnc-business] Director of Development

Tue Oct 29 10:19:51 EDT 2019

What was the timing of that podcast?

I’m aghast at how Mr. Chastain has been treated.  However, it’s not fair to
use an event after the fact as a reason for denial in favour of a nonParty
member without the requisite experience.

And I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face.  We HAD a great DD and did
nothing to keep her.

*In Liberty,*

* Personal Note:  I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome
(part of the autism spectrum).  This can affect inter-personal
communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
