[Program Manager], During the call in which you were executing the sequence to expel me, I recorded you try to paint me as unhinged. You claimed I had no intention of leaving Honeyman, a truly absurd argument when right in front of you, on the very computer screen I could hear you typing on, you could easily see I had an entire year planned around volunteering at some of my favorite places on the coast. An entire year is what you robbed me of. There's no excuse for the way you talked to me in that call. It was deeply unethical. And what you did after was illegal. You have literally broken the law, under the color of law, making it far worse. I now direct your attention to this letter I wrote [Volunteer Services Lead]. It is what triggered [Park Manager] to call me and say I was still being a problem. Because I had the audacity to ask [Volunteer Services Lead] what to do with my assigned items when I transferred to Tugman in less than a week. Proof, again, that the story you were sold, and the one you tried to pollute my reputation with, that you used to expel me permanently from something I loved, civic participation, was based on a complete fiction. And you weaponized it wholesale - and I recorded it. 313 days, [Program Manager]. How long are you going to violate my constitutional rights for? Your silence doesn't protect you. It indicts you.

I will head out early on the following Monday, so I should return my items at the end of my work day. Please let me know what to do with: - Keys - Binder - Golf Cart Also I need a timesheet for March. Thanks Sam From: [Volunteer Services Lead] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2025 1:42:33 PM To: Robert Samuel White <rsw@rswfire.com> Subject: RE: March 31 Hi Sam, I was going to let you know about that when I ran into you again out in the field but haven’t had a chance. It would be completely fine to head out on Monday the 31st as that is usually what I try to coordinate with my departing and incoming Volunteers. Thank you for double checking though as I didn’t note it on the schedules that I printed out. Leaving and arriving on the final day of the month is actually what most parks are trying to coordinate with each other so that everyone can have a smooth transition into the new month and able to jump right into the orientations on the 1st.
