Michael and Bob,

I understand your concern. We've been asked the same question by others who
are wondering what this is all about and whether Tom's firing could be
justified. Those of us who know Tom find the charge of insubordination to
be unbelievable, and we're happy to assure you that he's a reputable man.
But assurances aren't enough, and we know it. It's McCarthy-esque of PCL to
label Tom without proof because it leaves Tom vulnerable to imagination and
gossip and puts everyone but PCL at a disadvantage. That's why the Friends
of Tom O'Donnell are asking PCL to substantiate its charge. If he was
insubordinate, they should have proof. An organization that serves the
community needs to be accountable to the community. By supporting the
Friends, you're advocating for a process that's open, responsible, and fair.
