Mr.Lybarger;


Please accept my apologies for the pressure, even negative
comments, on  the list.  I don't travel well and didn't attend the
last meeting but I am  aware of the personal efforts by you to
make the meeting educational, interesting, and fun.  From your
comments on the list at that time I felt as though I had been
present;  I also understood that I missed a real opportunity to
learn much about PRC and WP.

In a previous but recent email you used 'caps' to underscore a
point;  I sensed your frustration at being falsely accused.
The museum is obviously not a 'for profit' organization 'by law;'
regardless, any income to the museum is a benefit to all
streetcar fans.

I am both embarrassed for what happened and feel a sense of
empathy for you and the potential hurt this has cause.  If I were
in your shoes my emphasis now would be your last sentence
above;  if people want to have get together then a possible
response is:  'Have fun;  I have other things to do.'  It is
possible that this is the reason you 'do' have other 'plans.'
