Dear Mr. Abernathy,I would like to take some comfort in your words, but I couldn't in good conscious look forward to someone else being subjected to this same degree of unwarranted scrutiny. But I do hope you are right about people forgetting, with or without another scandal on its heels.
I'm sorry to hear Forfang turned down your request for an interview, but I'm not surprised to hear he remains reclusive. Have you given it up, then?
