I don't feel like we won anything. It's over, but it will never be over.

We were very sorry to learn about the death of George Archer. He will sadly be missed. At this time, our thoughts are with the Archer family.

While I hope you will act responsibly and with reason on this issue, I feel obliged to tell you that your failure to do so would cause me to reevaluate my association with an organization that fails to recognize the role of women in our society. While I have, up to this point, respected your request that this issue not be a subject of discussion either with the public or with other members, I feel that continuing the status quo would cause me to make my views known to a broader audience -- if only to remove any doubt that I approve of the present policy.

If you feel compelled to resign, we will certainly understand. I hope, however, you will continue to respect the rights of the rest of the membership.
