Dear Ms. White:

While your review of our conversation regarding the P-M extramural grant programlast week is largely accurate, I find it immensely disturbing that an organization touting "ethical behavior' would stoop to what amounts to non consensual recording of a conversation for your own selective purposes. Any forthright and upstanding organization would have been forthright and I would have likely obliged. However, you indeed have crossed to the "darkside" undermining the essential ethic upon which this country was established. Shame on you. You are welcome to display this message butyou are not welcome to communicate with otherwise.
