Let me blurt (type) this out before I forget it…..”Forgive them for they know not what they do.” <\/p>\n

Good now I won’t forget another subject on my mind…..That’s the busy life of a not too retiring man. Always something else not to forget. And after doing the wordle in 3 and reading two of yesterday’s stories in the NYT which deserve mention in the blog I opened un unhappy email. I forgot something:<\/p>\n

Mr. Welty,<\/p>\n

Seeing that you did not complete the process (DFT commitment form) required for participation in the DFT screenings, we will not be including you in our screening process. <\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to fill out the form. Please remember to submit your Commitment Form (attached) by the 4:30 deadline on Friday.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n

I can only assume Mr. Olson is right about my failing to return a questionnaire on line. I recall filling it out and thought I had pushed the send button. Somewhere I have the form I meant to send out printed out. Perhaps I meant to edit it and then forgot to complete the process. If so, as I wrote to Mr. Olson “my bad.” I added a sentence to the effect that I if elected I was looking forward to working with the union. What else could I say. If I find…AH. Found it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It sure looks like I sent it in. That’s what it seems to say. I punched three ring binder holes in it for my records of this campaign. I took pictures of all four pages which I will shortly send to Mr. Olson in hopes the teachers will still interview me. In fact, I’ll do that now and upload this although I intend to come back and chat about the forgiveness and add some other things.<\/p>\n

Here’s a screen shot of the attachments I added to my second email to Mr. Olson:<\/p>\n
