Dear Glenn,

Thank you for your e-mail, and recent meeting with Tom Fulton, concerning Fort Ward Park. I enjoyed finally having a discussion with both of you you on this important issue, and Isalute you for the determination that you have demonstrated concerning the preservation of the park and its many resources.

I regret that you do not you feel that the action plan Kirk and I presented on March 18 did not reflect public comments received during the public process period. For your information, before that meeting Kirk and I reviewed the comments independently, and then we met to discuss and coordinate appropriate actions each of our departments could take in response. Although I don't claim to speak for RPCA, I do feel that the immediate actions proposed by OHA were a direct response to the cultural resource issues raised by the public. I was also pleased that the actions proposed by RCPA for the National Register listed portion of the park were largely consistent with the preservation/protection concerns of OHA. Also, we are now in the process of implementing several of OHA's initiatives, including setting up the Fort Ward Stewards/Stakeholders meeting. I look forward to working with Tom and yourself on these new projects, and will take you up on your offer for assistance shortly.

You should be able to download all public comments received on the RCPA website for Fort Ward Park. If you can't locate them let me know and I'll ask Laura Durham to forward them on to you.

I look forward to meeting with you again soon.

Best regards,
