A friend in need: I read with interest Julie Jargon's most recent articles about the continuing questions involving the Denver Botanic Gardens ("Reap What You Sow," November 15; "Growing Pains," November 8). As a former employee and a member of the Friends of DBG, I would like to thank this trustee for speaking the truth. The allegations put before the board by the Friends of DBG were found to be true, and I was greatly disappointed that the board decided not to act. If Brinsley worked elsewhere, I can assure you he would have already been terminated. Thank you, Julie, for keeping tabs on the Gardens.
