<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realize I am only a newcomer to your
game.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But recently I have witnessed the result
of what Roomers and Half truths can do to a person. and have spent the
last hour consoling a woman known to many of you because of the hurt it
caused.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Who was Hurt very plainly
Simone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do not agree with continuing to spread gossip so
I will not go into the particulars of what was said to her. Yet as
someone who has been her friend for several years. I would like to clear
up once and for all the type of person she is. and would ask as she always has
that if you have a problem with her take it to her.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Outside of her work in the SCA with the Bardic
College. Simone devotes her free time to community service. She runs a halfway
house for recovering addicts and alcoholics, makes disaster relive deliveries to
people in and out of the SCA, Works with several animal rescue groups. She
does not believe in airing her personal life for all to see. And devotes her
heart to projects that mean allot to her. such as your Bardic college and work
with people in recovery.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She regularly opens her home to people in
need. and is always available to talk to when someone has a problem. In the
years that I have known her I have not known her to betray a confidence. I
have seen her struggle o a daily basis with a Back injury she will have to live
with for the rest of her life. Still she continues to help where she
can</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She has a deep love for the people in the SCA, I
have seen her cry and talk at a meeting about the death of a friend, and jump
for joy at the news of anthers accomplishment she has read about. She many times
keeps her Opinions to her self and is continuing working on improving her
self.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She recently celebrated 14 years of recovery and 20
years in the SCA. her way of life demands that she does her best not to hold on
to resentments and to be as honest as she is able. and when wrong do her best to
make amends. She is a strait forward person. and one of the most real that I
have met. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would not have known anything was wrong or about
the letter she received this morning if I had not been there at the time she
received it. Please be sure you have all the facts before you decide to jump
someone's case and go to the person if you have a problem with them. Roomers and
half truths right now has her considering why she devotes so much time to
helping others. I am one who has benefited from her help and love and personally
do not want to see a person who helps so many without the thought of reward stop
just because of a few inconsiderate few.</FONT></DIV>
