Reichen gave me permission to post the e-mail..so here it is and my reply............
Hi Guys,
Frank Hagan gave me your contact info and we had a brief discussion about you this morning at brunch. You’re a friend of Frank’s so you’re friends of mine. Just wanted to say thank you for your support of QTN while it lasted and giving me the opportunity to work there for as long as I did. All of us lost something when the network went down, but I know all of our intentions were true and that’s what counts.
All the Best,
-Reichen
What a wonderful surprise to open a e-mail from you……
Your kind and thoughtful words is another example why you are held in such high regard by our community. You are a role model for all of us and I can't thank you enough for all you did at QTN.
I was lucky to be at the open house last year and you briefly came into Franks office to say hello. I initially was dazzled by your stunning looks and warm greeting you gave to all of us. (Hopefully you didn't notice the middle age Italian gasping for air.)
But what has impressed me the most is your talent and commitment to our community. I'm so glad that my partner & I finally had the opportunity to see your show thru VDC. Com before Q shut down.
Your show was outstanding and many of us on the board posted positives about your intelligent conversations on subjects that are vital to our lives.
It was a wonderful feeling to finally see the diversity of gays being presented on TV without the bias of the straight media.
You and all the fine folks at QTN will always be considered pioneers of gay television.
Most of the investors have accepted the fact that our money is gone, but for gay investors this was more than money. We lost a dream and my only hope now is that justice and the truth concerning the details will eventually be told by the gay media.
It would be wonderful and a great sense of satisfaction if the other gay networks picked up your show and the others, at least I will feel that our monetary loss was worth it for the cause.
Your brothers and sisters are so proud of you and all the employees for what you accomplished. We look forward to seeing you soon in whatever path you choose…
Sincerely, Jeff xxxxxxxxx
PS. My advice would be to stay away from posting on the Ihub Q board.
Many of the good folks who support you and the gay movement have left.
What we have now is a few homophobes and even worst, people who pretend to support gays but have now turned on us and blame our entire community for the demise of Q.
