Delia Holland-
Thank you again for taking the time to come by Ferintosh. I greatly appreciate you respecting me enough to speak to me in person and I thank you for the apology. Both Emma and I found you to be quite professional, reasonable, and personable.
Thank you also for the apology that you and Barbara Clark posted on the Xmarks website. I am satisfied with the apology from VisitScotland. I imagine the other three gentlemen are satisfied too and I will be contacting them today to confirm that.
In my original letter I asked for “a written apology from both Mr. Matthews and the VisitScotland Dumfries & Galloway Network Office for these malicious and hurtful statements. “
I would still like an apology from Mr. Matthews, I realize you apologized on his behalf, but I prefer he takes responsibility for his behavior and apologizes to me himself, either in writing or in person. I am happy to stop by the VisitScotland office within the next few weeks and, if Mr. Matthews is working behind the desk, this would afford him the opportunity to apologize to me in person. After this occurs I can feel this matter has been completely resolved.
I am looking forward to having this whole incident behind me.
As a side note- I was a tenured professor for 8 years in America before giving up everything to move to Scotland and although, I am not a professor here, I still expect people to treat me with the same respect and decency that I deserve. This has not been a petty matter to me and I thank you again for treating me with respect and decency.
Thank you
Robertson Wellen
