I had to get that off my chest
I am so glad we all do our own thing on the Board and respect each other's amazing work!
I live in Ohio and I have found lately a number of people that are just rude. So many people here are sooooooo friendly that it just surprises me. Your just being speechless was probably a good thing to do. I work at a few charity groups that have a lot of old people working too and I've had to bite my tongue a few times.
