Sydney--I'm glad we had our talk today and settled things amicably. Just as I stated to you, I'd also like to publicly share--I wasn't even aware of the problem you ladies were having with obtaining references.
I've always given references freely (
except to those that have cooperated with LE) and I don't condone the withholding of references...or catty gossip, either.
Regardless of who we like or happen to be friends with, the fact is that we rely on each other for our safety within the hobby. I don't allow personal differences to affect my professionalism...and I don't approve of that type of behavior in others.
Let's mend the fences and do what we're here to do!
