Dear Mr. Myers, In reporting on this story I communicated with all representatives of the four PTO's listed on the Board of Education website. Some I left phone messages for and the rest I e-mailed. I also contacted Lynn Hutkin as Advertising Manager for the Friend Finder. One PTO representative called me for a basic run down on the questions to then report back to the other PTO members. Later, Hutkin contacted me as the only person the PTOs designated to speak with me on the issue. Out of courtesy I later allowed Hutkin to review a draft version in order to decide if she would go on the record on several points where she had previously declined. I reported what people relevant to the story had to say. The fact that Mrs. Levy is still wed to Joel Levy was stated early in the article. You are entitled to your opinion on the story. However, in the future you may want to verify the facts. - Geoff Herzog
