EMAIL DETAILS

Kathleen,
I am sorry to hear that you and your daughters are feeling such stress. My
understanding of the current plan is:
1. Debbie will let you know if Hunter has relapsed or stop coming to the
program so that you can restrict his contact with the girls.. We will not
contact you as long as he is attending and abstinent.
2. Debbie and Elaine will be talking about their recommendation for the
next contact -- I understand that Fathers Day is being considered -- and
will call you after they have talked.
I hope that this helps to clarify the situation.
George Kolodner
