Everyone,

I have violated my number one rule to life in the most despicable manner. I made some comments at the last Meet and Greet that were from a private conversation between myself and Ms. Elena. The consequences of which have caused her much grief, anger, resentment towards myself, has hurt her economically, and deprived my fellow KC hobbyists of her presence in March. I will not repeat nor share what has been said. I can't undo the damage it has caused. I have betrayed her trust and friendship. For this I feel extreme remorse and great regret. We've all been hurt before by friends and loved ones and can relate to how she feels right now. What I said was unfair and untrue. Her comments to me were out of frustration of the economic crisis and not intended to insult me or my fellow hobbyists. Elena is a wonderful person I had always considered my friend. She is a warm, caring individual who appreciates those who appreciate her. Do not think badly of her, think badly of me. My idiotic remarks have lost me a good friend and an opportunity for my fellow KC hobbyists to enjoy her company. I will always regret this. My sincerest apologies Ms. Elena.

KC guys, you are missing out on a true gem in the hobby. To you all, I too apologize.

Ms. Elena, again, I'm sorry.
