<DIV>You are absolutely right. This statement was pure spectulation. Pete I apologize for making this statement in this forum.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am not bitter at all. Pete's customers pay for his life style and this is not speculation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You may not be aware, but Pete has asked for my support repeatedly. What I was trying to say in the last paragraph was that I support a development project just not the one that is proposed. Perhaps I could have worded it better.</DIV>

<DIV>Hold on now. So you consider it a "fact" that Pete wouldn't want a 5 story condo built a block and a half from his house, because YOU are SURE of it?!? </DIV>
<DIV>I'm sorry but that's pure speculation on your part and is therefore NOT a "fact" by definition. You're simply putting words into his mouth and recklessly posting it on this message board as fact. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please justify your statement that it is fact.</DIV>

<DIV>Life styles? LOL give me a break. Do I detect a little bitterness? Do you expect something in return from the many corporations whose life styles you fund every single day, too? Pete is probably the most "stand up for the community" business man this town could hope for. They don't make 'em like this anymore gang. Seriously. This community is fortunate to have Pete and Sons. Stop kidding yourselves. They could have picked up and moved on a long time ago. Then what would we have. This is a classic case of not realizing what you've got.</DIV>

<DIV>I've said enough. The last portion speaks for itself. Please remove yourself from the pedestal, and I will remove myself from the soap box.</DIV>
