Dear Bob, 
thank you for sending me the result of analysis of your two surveys by Ralph Chiumenti. He clearly shows that the results do not allow any conclusion whether the majority of Chappaquiddick residents are in favor or opposed to building bike paths. In face of this, it is hard to understand why you insist on continuing to canvass the Chappy community. The Chappy community has gone home for the winter. In a few months, under the auspices of the Chappy Island Association, there will be a meeting of all Chappy homeowners to discuss fully the pros and cons of building bike paths. After the discussion, a written ballot will be taken to determine the majority opinion. Instead of canvassing, your efforts should be directed to getting all the Chappy homeowners to attend this very important meeting and to submit their ballots. Sincerely, Siamak
