Description

President Gore of Florida A&M College wrote to former student Joe Kershaw, a referee, to apologize for the delay in a recent football game caused by the university’s marching band. The exchange turned somewhat passive-aggressive, with both Kershaw and Gore exchanging letters before ultimately reaching a mutual understanding about the situation.
