... about my friend, Kate ...

OK. How do I go about this?

Some of you were privy; some of you weren't. It all depended upon whether or not you were on the 2001 Gathering list. I do not feel that it is necessary to rehash all the ugly details ... those of you who experienced it know the deal; those who didn't will just have to remain in the dark. No big deal, believe me.

Real quick, I took the Mohican Board down, etc., etc. on July 24 of this year. Events rapidly transpired prompting me to write a rather lengthy & pointed letter of "explanation." This is not to debate the merits of, or reasons for, that choice, but to simply clarify one point I attempted to make in that group e-mail.

In it, I mentioned being betrayed by someone that I had put much trust in. I didn't name the person because I didn't want to drag her into it; that I mentioned it at all was because I felt it added to the validity of my explanation. Made it easier for those who had no inkling to grasp the situation. That person, unjustly accused, was Kate Penman.

Kate was a good friend to me, which is why [largely] I had confided in her in the first place. Things changed & twisted and I felt for sure that she was partly responsible for what had gone down. Circumstances dictated that belief. I was wrong. She wasn't. Kate, I now strongly believe, never violated my trust in any way that would be detrimental.

I just want to say that.

Kate is witty, intelligent, warm, & genuine. She gave of herself in ways that awed me at times. She was one of Mohicanland's brightest stars ... and I miss her.
