[RP TownTalk] Background on the Cafritz family

[Dwight Holmes]

Jim are you referring to specific things that may have been said at
the meetings this week? Or just in general? I'm sorry to say we
completely forgot about yesterday's meeting, and weren't able to go to
Thursday's. It would be great if people who did attend could briefly
share what was said. I see they haven't updated the Cafritz website as
yet.
