Dwight, you have my vote of confidence to speak to Pardun. Will you do it in an informal conversation or via a documentable e-mail or other correspondence? I, too, agree with Sharon, Lillie, and others who advocate speaking to Pardun prior to enacting a resolution. On the other hand, I concur with Ali that Pardun probably did not speak out of ignorance. However, we must make sure of her intentions. Cathy M.
