Thanks for the clarification. My source for the information was someone one the
hiring committee, but memories can be faulty. <br>
<br>
I am not aware of any other "falsehoods" that I have circulated but
am aware that occasionally my sources may be inaccurate. If there are any other
areas where my sourced material differs from yours, I am always interested in
comparing them, so that myself and the community can get as close to a
realistic interpretation of the truth as possible. In this way we all make
better choices. <br>
<br>
I would like to thank Norman DeValle for setting up this listserve allowing the
type of open and transparent communication necessary for this process, and hope
someday to hear his voice back on the air at KZYX. <br>
