‎Hi all,

Garth I am sadden to hear about the personal challenges you face right now. ‎I understand and support your decision, as my family copes with life long health issues on a moment by moment basis.

My thoughts are with you and your family, and I wanted to let you I appreciated the opportunity you provided for me in LA- thank you.

I look forward to your return as our regional leader. I also look forward to working with those who are taking up the leadership role in your absence.

With deepest regards,
Anthony

I am so sorry to hear of your bereavement and your family illness. Please do take care.
And of course I agree to the proposal.

As a dedicated leader in the? ALAC? community your? temporary absence for
the next couple of? months will be missed,? we will strive to fill some of
the gaps.? I am confident? given Evan's experience as a former? chair that
his involvement will be outstanding and the help of? Judith.

Your decision to step away for a short while is a good decision and your
priority is focus on the health and welfare of your family.

Best wishes

Glenn

This is where he goes off the rails. The nativists behind this language 
couldn't care less what message it sends to the rest of the world.
