Anne-Marie Robinson

Oh, I know that Anne-Marie. And so do her sisters, her blipsters. That's the other group that's helped her regain her strength and motivation. It's time for a catch up with them. There we go. Good morning. Good morning.

As usual, Jeannie McKay out in BC is the first to log on to the blipster call.

Good morning. Can you hear?

We get through the usual technical glitches. Oh my God. I'm so bad at this. Eventually, all six women are up on my screen. Anne-Marie, Jeannie, Jackie, Rita, Ali, and Siobhan.

I asked for this gathering. I wanted to talk to them about a recent development with their former teacher. Doug Walker agreed to speak with me. I have a long list of questions for him. Then a couple days ago, he sent me a letter. He's changed his mind. There will be no interview after all with the band teacher.

I read them the letter. Good morning, Ms. Ireton. I have been strongly advised that in no way should I agree to an interview with the media, and therefore I will not be speaking to you on April 6th. I have paid and continue to pay a huge price for my behavior of almost a half century ago, and deservedly so.

I long ago lost my self-respect, and my actions have resulted in the loss of my beloved family and all my lifelong friends. Strong language has been used in speaking to and about me, and the word betrayal has been at the forefront. Any awards or accolades that came my way over the length of my teaching career have been dismissed. I face old age alone, and I am bankrupt.

I have dug deeply and agonizingly into my past. attempting to seek all possible reasons for why I behaved as I did, examining my struggles with alcohol, low self-esteem, and forcing myself to revisit the pain and trauma of a parentless, directionless childhood. Nonetheless, I conclude that I, and I alone, must bear the responsibility for my inexcusable behavior.

If the women who came forward in your investigation wish to lay blame on me for any misfortune that has befallen them as adults, that is their right. Although I most definitely refute some of the allegations listed in your recent email, it will at this point make little difference in the poll of public opinion.

Profuse and abject apologies for all the harm I caused those many years ago and seemingly continue to cause will offer little or no consolation to anyone, including myself. However, I give them unreservedly and I do not expect in any way to be forgiven. Your upcoming podcasts will no doubt continue to paint me as a predatory monster.
