To: Chief of Staff, Mayor of the City of Dallas, Ms. Blackmon

cc: White Rock Lake Weekly

I appreciate your return call last Friday. I hope the Mayor and staff understand the issues, which have faced the residents and the park system during the last 20 plus years on the eastern shore of White Rock Lake.

The occurrence of the boycott announcement was not a one-time utterance; that it happened multiple times before I heard it is even more concerning.

Ms. Black, editor and owner of White Rock Lake Weekly, posted my e-mail with the rebuttal by Bob Wallace, owner of Run-On in last week's issue of the paper. I also copied the Advocate Magazine, The Dallas Morning News and NBC DFW.

My veterinarian, A&B Animal Clinic, was the target of the hate message and the businesses along the Garland Road Corridor were the expanded targets of this horrible public announcement.

No apologies have been expressed, that I have seen, as of this writing.

Mr. Worrall, Park Board Rep, did meet with my brother and A&B Animal Clinic on the street last Friday morning.

My brother will be sending the City Secretary a transcript to introduce to the next City Council meeting where the statement can be reviewed by the City Manager and the Council.

Sincerely,

Ted Barker
