Debbie, Jim wrote me that he had talked to you. I am writing to you personally to attempt to make sure that you realize that I wasn't attempting to be critical of you or what you were asking. I just didn't understand the question being asked. The question I saw had nothing to do with Bottoms family but I could have missed something somewhere so I was just asking. I have seen some of the comments others have made on other lists that were hypercritical of your type of question and I do not want to begin to be like them. I hope that you remain a integral part of this group and would like to know more of your Bottoms connection if any.
