A statement was posted on this web site on Thursday evening, February 22, 2007, which suggested that Christine Collins acted unethically in her capacity as a volunteer at the Danville Elementary school, involving the use of the school copier or other school resources.
The sponsors of this web site wish to state categorically that there is no reason to believe that Ms. Collins did anything that was not with permission and in accordance with the policies of the Timberlane Regional School District, nor did any other volunteer, and that this statement should not have been posted on our web site.
The original posting was subsequently edited to remove the accusation about Ms. Collins. It has also been thoroughly debunked in various commentaries on this web site.
The purpose of this message is to make it absolutely clear that the statement had no basis in fact, in case somebody saw the original posting but has not followed the subsequent discussions of it.
We apologize to Ms. Collins, and regret any damage that this might have caused to her good name in our community.
