[Program Manager], This is not a request for response. It is a reminder — of the truth I shared, the truth you ignored, and the truth I am now preparing to release into broader hands. It has been ten days since I resent the letter documenting my experience at Honeyman. That message contained detailed, firsthand observations of serious ethical breaches, patterns of misconduct, and failures in institutional accountability. Your silence — again — is noted. I have documented everything. That includes: A full transcript of the March 5 meeting in which [Park Manager] and [Park Supervisor] subjected me to coercive, demeaning treatment for over an hour. Verbatim notes on [Volunteer Services Lead]’s attempts to reframe my identity and authenticity into suspicion. A clear timeline of retaliatory behavior beginning the moment I held [Park Supervisor] accountable for a dismissive text — and culminating in my unjust removal. Your own reframing of events — contradicted by your failure to document those concerns in the formal dismissal, revealing the gap between perception and process. Should a journalist wish to investigate this further, I will provide all transcripts, supporting materials, and contextual analysis. I invite them to pursue FOIA and state public records requests using the following search terms: Recommended Keywords: Samuel White / Sam White Volunteer dismissal / park host removal March 5, 2025 meeting transcript Honeyman State Park / OPRD volunteer conflict [Park Supervisor], [Park Manager], [Volunteer Services Lead], [Program Manager] Volunteer retaliation / misconduct reporting Internal review communications / OPRD leadership Oregon State Parks volunteer complaints Journal incident / guest engagement dispute I am not acting out of vengeance. I am acting out of integrity. What I experienced should never happen to another volunteer — not under your leadership, or anyone’s. That is why this record will not disappear. And why this story — if not honored internally — will be documented externally. You may remain silent. But the record will not. Sam White 458-230-1869
