ReplyDeleteIt is good that KW is out of the woods. However this should not distract from the many concerns expressed about internal affiars at II just before KW took ill.
Those issues remain real.
Reality is that, which when ignored, does not go away.
I agree -- no one is really suggesting we ignore the issues -- only that we not kick a man while he is down. If we are to express our concerns, we should do so when KW can respond if he is so moved. Mr. Frazee would agree I think, and he has the most to offer in this discussion.
