RE: DEE BROWN

["Belanger,Roger" <rbelange@foxboro.com>]

Dorine,

	My comments were intended more for the masses, rather than a direct
comment on your post. I have the utmost respect for your intelligent and
thoughtful submissions to this list. If I offended you, please accept my
apology, it was unintended. I do have a hot button when it comes to Dee
Brown and his game (or the lack thereof). I wish I could be as open
minded as you, where Dee is concerned, he has just been a disappointment
to me for far too long. Thanks for your time and sorry for any offense.
