I think I owe an apology to you, Ann. When you arrived here a few days ago, I thought you had been asked by Robin to join FFL. The reason for that assumption is that he had recently asked if anyone who knew him back in the 70's and 80's would please post here about what he was like then and what it was like to be involved in his course. And you appeared! Robin wanted to defuse Vaj's comments about those times. I thought you were responding to that call from Robin. I also thought you would then clear up some of the issues between Vaj's perception of the events surrounding Robin, and Robin's own memories.
Whether you are here to support Robin or not, I do not know. But your comments are interesting. Welcome. I described your posts as "evasive" because I wanted you to explain in more detail about your time with Robin. That was an unfair characterization by me. So, now that I am home from work and have a chance to read the posts of today and settle down and spend more than 30 seconds at FFL, I realize I made a mistake. You obviously have no obligation to answer questions about your time with Robin. Just enjoy your time here at FFL and, again, welcome. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Susan" <wayback71@...> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Susan" <wayback71@> wrote: > > <snip> > > > Because there have been only very general statements and nothing > > > at all specific or informative, my vote is that this is a friend > > > of Robin's.
