Joan asked that we please stopped the inflammatory emails. I agree. I haven't been on the list for a couple of days, and it is like reading the newspaper anymore, all bad energy. It has taken the sad news of the decline in health from another Joan to give people a wake up call. No, I will not get in the "lets kill Carmen" mode, because I have made mistakes in the past, knowingly and unknowingly, and I was blessed to have understanding people who forgave me and helped me move forward. He made a few mistakes, I agree, but I remember him and his first Nancy, with a lot of respect. It is no secret that I have been friends with Carmen for 20+ years. I am disappointed, but I suspect he is feeling cornered right now, and we don't even treat our dogs that way. I hope not. While I am big on accountability, I don't think many are going about this the right way. So please, heed Joan Fox advice and imitate Joan Ford style. If nothing else, for today, contribute something positive. Pay a tribute to Joan Ford that way. Thanks for listening.
