The only reason I can think of would be the letter that was published in the review (can't say I even saw it). If our president is apologizing for that then I can understand it...a potential member (no matter how disgusting an individual he may be) cannot be publicly humiliated by the membership. I see no other need for any apology. I'd also like to know why this has turned into such a fiasco. Why we are consulting with a NY attorney....who is driving Hunte's possible withdrawal of his application, and why it was necessary to meet conditions to have him withdraw it when I'm fairly confident that the Board would not have voted him in as a member if he had not withdrawn it. This entire mess borders on the bizarre..... Yes, why would he have to apologize ? He didn't write the letter and is not responsible for our thoughts. Freedom of speech ? Now we have a lawyer we hired attacking our board members and getting away with it ? Who the heck's running this looney bin ?
