My response the the PRIVATE MESSAGE sent by ' fisherperson ' would have been the following:
Thank-you for the questions. I am happy to answer them to the best of my ability. It occurs to me that many on the forum would be interested in the answers to these questions. Anyone who has never been to Bethel will find many of these answers of interest. With your permission, and assuring that I will keep your PRIVATE MESSAGE private, may I bring these questions to the board and answer them for the enlightment, entertainment and enjoyment of the other members?
I humbly await your reply.
