<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Laird Caerell,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I take no offence at your comment YOU
are taking up your parental responsibility.I am sorry you have been hurt by my
comment,it is to the parents who are not helping,<I'm sure they just
forget>.I am making reference to.In all the children's activities I have
done I always see one to six moms help or at least checking on their kids.In
that whole time I have had three fathers......three, help with their
kids.This is a huge difference in numbers.Kids get so much from male influences
I would like to see more dads helping me.Again I am so sorry if my words caused
you to stop coming to moot,but I feel I can not change how I feel about the lack
of male influence at the MOC level.My office will be up for grabs soon feel free
to take it up and you might see what I mean.If you would like to speak with me
in privet my e-mail is at the bottom.Or call me my number is in the
scroll.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">>It is like saying that just because I am not a
Woman I can't do a good job raising my two boys, and that >is BULL! </DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Caerell, </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> I think men are great with kids.That's why
I want their input and help.When men interact with kids they often mind better
and listen better .I hope you can hear the true respect I have for fathers next
time I speak and not take offence.</DIV>
