Hunter,

Thank you for taking time to respond and your kind words. 

I hope we will have the chance to connect at some point. I would be careful with any contact. 

I do appreciate the magnitude of all the things involved here especially your family's loss. 

I offer my warmest good wishes.

I know there is much speculation reporting and I would prefer to find a way to get at the real truth.  I am happy to do on background without attribution.  I do not discuss my contacts without others.
