Fwd: Re: [Husker] Birkel

[todd strong]

shubs........I am entitled to an explanation. Certainly not in minute detail 
or anything, but the things mentioned here are a recurring theme. Pederson 
and Callahan, have asked me to support them, to trust them,
to support the product they put n the field and in the classroom. I have 
done my part.
Also, if anyone calls me a liar. If anyone makes a claim against me that is 
baseless, untrue or otherwise, I will defend my honor, my school, my name 
and my pride in any means necessary, especially the means by which I was 
attacked. All with a pure motive of course.
