Dear Director Gardner,
I am trying to remember a telephone call I received from your office on June 7, 2013: I
was driving in traffic and was distracted. Would you please tell me the purpose and
content of the call? If you recorded it please send me a transcript.
If you contact me again concerning Anthony O'Connell please do it by letter
with a copy to Anthony O'Connell, and not by telephone. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kate Simmons

Dear recipients:
On November 14, 2013, I received a phone call from someone in the VA that said Cardiology had sent two letters
to Anthony O'Connell. Would you please send to me and Mr. Anthony O'Connell copies of these two letters?
I am Anthony O'Connell's Health Care Agent in his Power of Attorney for Health Care and Living Will dated
January 1, 2009. He tells me that he has rescinded this document. He has repeatedly asked that this document be
removed from the VA records, and has done all the procedures he has been instructed to do to make this happen,
such as going to the Release of Information, and trying to make an appointment with the social worker. Please
release this document from the VA records now and send verification to me and Anthony O'Connell that it has
been done.
Please adhere to my September 18, 2013, letter to the Director that said, in part: "If you contact me again
concerning Anthony O'Connell please do it by letter with a copy to Anthony O'Connell, and not by telephone."
Thank you,
Kate Simmons
