Narrative:

While taxiing for departure from runway 23 at bed, I made a wrong turn from taxiway J onto taxiway T. (This was my first visit to bed -- I should have asked for a progressive.) I was told to stop short of the runway and directed to turn. I evidently came onto the runway during the turn. I received a letter of investigation on oct/xx/96. I am responding at this date because I was not aware a violation occurred.
