I apologized already for my lack of action. One of the reasons I didn't interject was because by the time I realized what was going on, you had others there to help you. I can not express my regret for that enough.
A lie? I never spoke a lie to you. I do not know how long I trained him, as it has not happened for me yet. I am far too old to lie about something as simple as twenty years.
I appreciate you allowing me to join the group. And, I will not be a disturbance.
