Dear Friends
It has come to my intention that I have, on occasion, inadvertently
mis-spelled Welsh when referring to those whose who live in, and.or
have come from, Wales. In checking back, I notice that I recently
had one of those senior's moments and mis-sent a message to the
above named lists. While in the body of said message, I wrote
`Welsh', I believe I became a bit flustered when I wrote the
introductory explanation for failed cross posting. I mistakenly typed
`Welch' the surname of one of my best friends when it ought to
have typed `Welsh'.
As I have told the complainant, in a private apology, I seem to have
reached an age where my fingers and brain don't always co-operate.
I sometimes type what I'm not thinking and even write what I'm not
intending while doing crossword puzzles. It can be frustrating to one
who has prided himself for being mentally alert and a writer.
I want you all to know that I am proud to have Welsh blood in
my veins; I'm appreciative of all Welsh folk who have helped me
over the years; and I would never intentionally refer to you folks
as Welch nor more than I'd refer to a Scotsman as Scotch.
To all, I unreservedly apologize. To those whom I've offended, I
can but say `sorry, I'll ask my fingers to be more careful'.
