Thank you for your emails of support for the protection of McKinney aka
Warehouse Pond in Stratford CT.

We are hoping for a mutually satisfying resolution to this matter.

I know it is because of your reaching out to share your knowledge of the
pond and to request a pause until public comment could be heard made this
possible revision happen. Thank you.

I have heard that most of the correspondence was polite and insightful.
Thank you.

But I also heard some were not courteous and one was taken as threatening.

That is not who we are.

This project involving the pond was upsetting news, because we are so
impassioned for the species that depend on it but we must remain calm and
be courteous in all our communications and actions.

I know we all eagerly await news from USFWS and Audubon Connecticut.

Thank You

Linda Olsen
