This statement below was sent to me and helps clarify, once again, that there is no way Mr. Skinner can deny he was not aware of the content in the "Georgia Avenue Defender." The statement is below.

"At a community gathering in 2005, Sinclair Skinner and I had a conversation.  He was holding an issue of the Defender publication with the first "Gramzilla" cartoon facing up. In the course of our conversation,
he pointed to the cartoon and said, "Do you like my drawing?"  I also saw Sinclair Skinner handing out an issue of the Defender outside the "Save Club U" press conference."
