Need not worry, as you use to say .... I have good memories, bud, of some things .... you know I always encouraged you and thought you were bright. It's this damn picture of the connecting dots that's putting you in a bad light, and I have to give it consideration when I've heard so much of the same thing over and over again. It follows you everywhere. Fact is, I have more important things to do than fight a crusade against you, whether it is right or wrong. Just do the right things .... and don't make stuff up to get ahead because people are paying attention, and they will call you out on it. Some of us can be very perceptive, and we will learn things even when you think we can't tell the difference. I know you can't keep everyone happy, but you can develop a reputation for integrity. And that's important no matter what you do in life.

I'm here in New England doing what I do from here by choice. I haven't been likely, however, to follow offers by you because I don't expect them to amount to anything but a financial loss. That doesn't, however, mean I don't think you can do great things.
