My Darling Husband Continues to Defend Me 

 

and enable me to devote my time and energy to ending the trade in exotic cats.  His letter to the Better Business Bureau:  Bennett, on the logo, we never received the original email sent in October.  Below is an email trail where I wrote to Julie in December asking if they had come out.  She forwarded a zip file with the logos, but we did not get the content you refer to with the measurements, just the email below with the zip folder, which I then passed on to Carole.  Absent any other information, I assumed that the image that was in the zip file labelled with "ltr" in the name was sized to the specifications you wanted and used it thinking I was being very diligent in making sure NOT to change it.

 

Aside from no instructions, it was my recollection that the former logo had been sent in a series of specific sizes and I remember Carole cautioning me that we were not supposed to change it, just use one of those sizes.  Whether I understood or recall that correctly from the prior logo or not I am not sure, but with that frame of reference in mind and seeing nothing to the contrary I assumed the logo in the zip file was the approved size.  We will of course adjust it and also move it on the letterhead.  We also checked the website and while the logo is correct in most places, we found one location that was off, so are correcting that.

 

With respect to the complaints, first let me clear up some confusion.  The name Lisa Welch came up only because of an error on the website where Gini Valbuena's information came up under the page on Lisa Welch in error.  Thanks for noting that so we could correct it.  Lisa Welch was not involved in your complaints as far as I know.  Lisa Walker, very similar name, was.

 

Before I address the language, let me give you a little additional information that came subsequent to our last communication.  I realize you are not dealing with the substance of these activities, but I provide this for background so you understand our approach.  Wednesday we got a call from George Feder, a reporter and frequent guest on America's Most Wanted. His profession is crime prevention and educating young people to steer them away from crime, but part of his time is spent on stories for the TV program.

 

He called to tell us the Gini Valbuena has visited him twice insisting that he try to make a television show about the disappearance of Carole's husband 10 years ago in a way that would imply Carole was involved, which is absurd.  He described Gini as "obsessed", "crazy" and "just plain evil" and was calling just to let us know she was out there doing this.  He delivered to us the same nonsensical materials she and her cohorts send around trying to get anyone to listen and hoping at a minimum to waste my time.  Some of these materials were sent to your organization a year or so ago.

 

Again, I understand the substance is not the issue for you, so talking to Mr. Feder would serve no purpose, but FYI I'm sure he would be willing if you were ever interested. He said when he repeatedly asked her why she was interested in this she would just start raving about Carole. He offered to testify in court if asked.  Moving on, below is the language that was on the website, corrected to reference Lisa Walker.

 

I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shar
