Hi Kelby, You know what? I think that you and Courtney are awesome. You guys have demonstrated a level of maturity never achieved by many adults. You guys have listened to what others have had to say, even though we didn't all agree with your points of view. You have shown a willingness to rethink a position, and to take action where you can. You two have chosen to respond thinkingly, and with courtesy and respect, even though people do not agree with what you have said. The ability to assess whether we might be wrong and to admit that human falibility takes great courage. Thank you both very much.

My frustration is not with the volunteers, but with the system. I know the volunteers cannot fix the problems, and I admit I was thoughtless in what I said.
