Resignation Letter_James AllanMay 14, 2010
Anthony Allen, Chair
Dubuque Human Rights Commission
1300 Main Street
Dubuque, IA 52001
Dear Anthony:
Thank you for letting me know that the commissioners would welcome my participation by
phone when I am unable to attend meetings in person. That is very gratifying. My condition
varies with environmental factors, but when it is difficult, as in the last few weeks, breathing
becomes such a preoccupation that it is very difficult to think of anything else. So it is not just a
matter of being physically present. Since this is a chronic condition, I cannot expect long -range
recovery. For that reason, I think it best that the commission have a member able to commit
fully to its mission, and I must submit my resignation.
The most recent group of commissioners appointed shows that there are plenty of excellent
citizens willing to serve.
Best wishes to you all and Godspeed.
