BS>Hello, Al.  As you saw from my previous note (due to pilot error, adapting
BS>to the changes in the Fido board after its crash, it seems multiple copies
BS>of my note went out -- sorry) I have been away.  But I just got this note,
BS>so I thought I'd reply to it as well.
Hello Bill.  For all the time I have had lately to respond to messages,
my computers may as well have been down themselves .
We are still plugging away at oursand with any luck at all, may have
some results in about 3 months; that is to say, it may be over and my
guy out of prison in 3 months.  He has been there a year now and boy,
talk about a family reunion .  I expect they are ready.
BS>I'm sorry you weren't able to make it this trip, but maybe it was as well.
BS>I have been *so* booked up I'd not have had much time.  A week ago this
BS>computer (cygnus.wa.com) crashed hard while I was upgrading it from a '286
BS>to a '386 (the '386 wouldn't do anything but emit diagnostic beeps and the
BS>'286 wouldn't recognize the hard drives any more...!) -- I had to send it
BS>to the shop to get it all put right because I didn't have the time.
Yea, I was real sorry too.  There was never a question about coming
until we got the call about the appeal deadline and as it happened, we
made it back just in time.
San Diego was beautiful.  LA was busy , but we met a lot of
fantastic people there and, with their help, finally got some smarts
drilled into our thick skull.  If it had not been for the folks we have
met, there would have been no way in the world to have ever turned ours
around.
BS>Kathy has been maintaining our presence here; she's been to a couple of
BS>churches to give talks, she's been down to Olympia to lobby, and she's
BS>gone to Wenatchee to talk to the accused (and suspects) in the witch-hunt
BS>there.
Boy, that one turned into a real mess.  I have been following the posts.
BS>Just last week she was invited to a Republican district meeting.  Our 
rial
BS>judge was to speak; she is running for appellate judge and I gather this
BS>was to kick off the campaign.  She quickly discovered she'd run into a
BS>whole crowd of Swan-supporters, who are not likely to support her
BS>candidacy because of our case.  Fortunately it's a contested race with a
BS>good qualified attorney running.
All I can say to that si FANTASTIC.  Someone should have reminded her
that "whatever goes around, comes around" .  I bet Kathy was on
cloud 9 with that one.
BS>And our appeals pursuing our suits against the State for its illegal
BS>actions are about to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.  As the attorney says,
BS>"One place, one time..."
Well, you all have everyone's prayers and hopefully, the appeal will
work.  Say hi to Kathy and ya'll hang in there.
Allen
