On top of it all I suggest that Tom take contact with the person in the
board he say is angry of me and told him I lied. That is a lie of Tom as far
as I know. The two members of the board I have had contact with keep sending
me mails and haven't in any way indicated that I have lied about anyone of
them - on the contrary. I haven't been accused in any form to be salt in the
grain!
That Tom is spreading false information about me and my contacts which
definitely not only are linked to persons in the Museum board!
