Goes Ahead said his wife heard differently.

“She was explaining to him that they didn’t have any workers there yet and they were only letting the white people in," he previously told the Gazette.

“We were stunned by her choice of words. We didn’t know how to react. We waited for the doors to be opened and then we went in.”

The Goes Ahead couple emailed Ehinger on Jan. 24 laying out their complaint, in documents provided by Ehinger. The email identified Reed Point's athletic director and said the whole group could hear her comments.

"We hope that this situation will be handled in a fair and appropriate manner and would like to be informed of what course of action will be taken. We trust that you will address the matter at hand and the appropriate measures will be taken," the email says.

Ehinger responded the same day, noting that his investigation wasn't complete.

"Let me also take this opportunity and apologize," he wrote. "The investigation and outcomes aside, you felt mistreated (and that's understating it I am sure) and that matters a lot to me. We work hard to put on quality events and want everyone to feel welcome to come and support their teams.
