MUFLA, not Angel, paid for picnic

Your story on the faculty-staff picnic, titled " Angel hosts BBQ for faculty," was full of factual errors.

The event was hosted not by President Angel but by the Marshall University Family Life Association (MUFLA), and the organizers were Jean Modlin, Jean Douglas, Linda Hamilton and Deborah Freidin.

This was their third annual picnic for the faculty and also for the staff (the last omitted by your reporter).

Dr. Angel and his office did lend support to the event, however, and his presence was a fresh and welcome change from our previous president's lack of concern for Marshall University personnel.

And why a photograph of the President with Dr. Denman, the Provost, and not one of a staff or faculty member ? A shoddy job of reporting.

I would like to end on a positive note, and thank MUFLA for a very enjoyable and successful picnic.
