Text: 7 On May 27, Blaylock wrote to Harris requesting that Blaylock's employment with OG&E, before he left to pursue a master's degree, should have been bridged. On June 29, 1994, Harris turned down that request, and informed Blaylock of the right within ninety days to submit additional evidence asking for a review of the claim or to appeal before the Retirement Committee. On July 5, Blaylock wrote a letter to the Retirement Committee Members, asking for an extension of time to accept the Offer in order to provide more time to go through OG&E's appeals process. Having received no reply from OG&E by July 8, the deadline for accepting the Offer, Blaylock wrote a letter to Harris and the members of the Retirement Committee in which he indicated his decision to sign the release and separation agreement in order to receive his early retirement benefits. The agreement was thereafter signed and executed.
