We received an approach by Portsmouth asking permission to hold talks with our manager. Permission was not granted.

Permission was not granted.

I wasn't asking. I don't need permission.

We want to hold exploratory talks, but these are not coalition negotiations.

The approach was not traditional. Quite frankly, I'm concerned that when Campus Edge comes back, we'll lose our edge.

I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.
