As most of you know the last three months have been very difficult for Nezzie, me and my family and a multitude of friends. We want to thank each and every person that wrote letters, sent e-mails, made phone calls, signed the petition and rallied on demand to our call for help and support. Because of your efforts, there are hundreds of good folks, many of whom we have never met out there who offered support and encouragement at a time when it was needed most.
Having said that, we did not achieve the desired result and it is not likely we ever will. We realize at last that none of the PGR people [leadership and the BoD] with whom we are dealing possess any honor or integrity and no matter how hard we try they cannot be persuaded to do the right thing. How they can look a veteran’s family in the eye or even look at themselves in the mirror baffles us.
As Vietnam Veterans, Tex and I can handle criticism and insult leveled at us but when they allow one of their own (one ride captain’s son) to disrespect a Gold Star parent in public they have crossed the line of no return. It simply is not to be tolerated.
A special thanks to our daughter, Vickie and to Laura (Vickie’s sergeant at arms) for waging the daily and sometimes hourly Facebook war. Thanks to all of Frosty’s Friends for their tireless support and personal contribution to our cause. We will never forget your selfless effort and dedication. We do not know how we would have managed all this time without the supportive, kind and comforting gestures and remarks that came our way.
We feel truly blessed because we know we have the very best of friends in our lives.
We have weathered far worse than this aggravation in our sixty years together. We are ready to close the book on this nonsense and move on. Let us try to put this stuff in our rear view mirrors, get some wind in our faces and have some fun. Let us get on with the business of being happy in our pursuits. There are many missions and events in our future that need our undivided attention. We are not PGR any longer but we do not need PGR to validate our activities – never did – never will.
Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the caring and loving things you have done and said for us and about us during the past three months.
Yours in friendship,
Friends Forever
