Subsequent fo your appointments | was made aware of the fact. that you had authored a book. At no time was | ever aware of the gravity of the situation, outcome of the trial and judges comments regarding these events. If | had been aware of this at that time I can tell you | would have opted to protect the image of Twepi so as not to end up in the situation we now find ourselves in. Notwithstanding the foregoing, please let me say that | think you made a valuable contribution to Twepi in your capacity as a board member and chair of the HR committee. Many positive things were ‘accomplished in the development of our organization because of your efforts. | articulated this to Anne Jarvis on two occasions prior to the story being published today. Unfortunately | don't control what gets printed. If | did, today's article would never have been published | think you made a good decision in the circumstances and | truly wish you well Sincerely, Drew
