I f you care to know about the personal characterization to his post, this was what I wrote in a private email in his response to HR NCV chips:

Mark:

Where do you get the idea that there were any leftovers? And what makes you
think that any of the board members or volunteers got any extras. Would you
care to retract your insinuation? You want to know what happen to the extras
then ask Krista Tye the Director of Retail Operations or Warwick Stone,
Creative Director for the Hard Rock Hotel. Yes, you could be wrong!

I repeat, "I take offense because you place a thought in collector’s heads that there was something going on. "

What basis is there for the statement, "Seems like the extra went to some of the deserving folks who helped make the convention happen but I could be wrong." All I'm saying is if you don't know, then don't say something that makes you or others think you do.

And THAT IS THAT! Now would we like to discuss that there was NEVER, NEVER any gambling at the Hotel Apache?
