Well, I'm British so your second definition is correct. I would NOT recommend you ever call a woman a dyke in the UK - just a word of friendly advice?

Judith Gentry is Judy Neily
Just search in Facebook for Judith Gentry and Judith Neily Gentry comes up married to Landon Gentry.
This is the same person, as I have met her at the RHC Safety course.

Hm. Whether it is true or not saying "sue for defamation" isn't much help. Sometimes in cases such as this, if the matter is found to be baseless the person making the accusations has insufficient means to make suing them practical. This is sometimes why cases are settled out of court: because the cost of defending them is higher than paying the plaintiff off - even if the accusation is unfounded - and there will be no way to recover costs if the person making the accusations hasn't the means to pay.
I do wonder how a person can be employed for 10 years or more and then genuinely decide it is no longer tolerable.

What l never understand is this. If this has been going on for over 12 years. why NOW make a complaint.?
Didn't the lady making the allegations have some sort of relationship with a pilot that worked at the Robinson factory who was passed over for a promotion just prior to the "harrassment"??

Some sort of relationship .....
Gentry also claims that the company refused to hire her husband after he already had been promised a job as a pilot at Robinson Helicopter by the company's chief pilot.

Best wishes Frank
Having met Frank, I can only say he was a totally courteous man to me and to my wife. Even though I have had technical issues with RHC I am pleased that he personally does not have this hanging over his head an more.
All the best, Frank. If I was facing sexual harrasment charges at 77, I'd take that as a compliment! My personal ambition is to die a quick death when I am 110. I want to be shot by a jealous husband.

Is this not old news. This is from a web site South Bay Crimes and Courts. Note it starts by saying no one wanted to talk about. They dont know the people of PPruNe then. Two years late a dollar short and willing to talk about anything.

Sexual harassment suit against Robinson Helicopter founder dropped
By Denise Nix on July 11, 2008 3:08 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | ShareThis
No one wants to talk about it, but the sexual harassment lawsuit filed a year ago against Torrance-based Robinson Helicopter founder Frank Robinson was dismissed today. I don't know why, other than that the plaintiff, Judith Gentry, asked for it. Usually, such an action is taken after the parties reach a settlement - but no settlement is confirmed in this case.
The full report, as sorted out by court filings in the case, will be in tomorrow's Daily Breeze. The Cliff's Notes version is that Gentry was Robinson's executive assistant for nine years and didn't like sexual comments or observations the 78-year-old Rolling Hills resident allegedly made.

A worthy goal indeed, especially if the jealous husband's wife is age 29 or so!
Sexual harrassment legislation has enabled a veritable flood of women entrepreneurs!

The lady should have realised that Robinsons take quite a lot of getting going,..... but then as with others will go vertical, Just about!
Strange though how the Gals take the longer view!
