Mr. Bernard Allen:

Let me clarify the situation. I was unhappy with the procedures. We accepted the majority decision of the interview panel and that is as far as we could go without interfering in the internal workings of the association. I was extremely unhappy about what I saw there. It is no exaggeration to say that I experienced rough words being spoken to Gary Keegan. I was challenged about whether I was calling people dishonest when I questioned certain things. As I said, I was unhappy about a very experienced administrator not even getting the benefit of an interview. I insisted that the person be interviewed but, naturally enough, the person did not get the job.
