Show . * I need to have you neonle keen me informed better, on what you're doing currently. Can you take minutes of meetings and forward these to me. . Margaret Pettis (Dick's girl) and Brian Beard have forwarded newspaper clippings and information on Agency EIS's etc. This has been a big help. Once I get some of the hospital expenses paid - me driving and living in Madison, etc., - I'll subscribe to a Utah newspaper. Meanwhile, I'm very isolated. If I don't hear back now from anyone in the Dep't of Agriculture and Forest Service, relevant to my charge on violation of the law, we'll have to get letters written to see why. But response to me (CRCUP) will likely take several weeks, yet. I sent all the background stuff via registered mail - and the same guy signed for the material to Bergland, Cutler and McGuire. So, we'll see. I'm sure we'll hear from Eichenberry - just give him time. I'd forward copies of mail you write to him or to Guy Martin. It keeps up a continuity of our effort. Also to Brent. Do you suppose that Andrus is a Mormon? Would this make a difference? Also send copies to Pat Parenteau, National Wildlife Federation and to the Director, Kimbal. He was out looking at Rock Creek this past summer and badgering fishermen there to get after Gunn McKay to stop the project. Let's keep on him - even though he's a cousin or something of McKay's. Well, I've been up since 4 AM - trying to get these letters written which I can mail in Madison. Plan to spend the weekend there with Bill and return Tuesday here and wait for a call from Jim YOung. Bill said on the phone yesterday, that the Physical Therapist is talking that maybe he can come home around the 1st of December. My son Mark, in Jackson, also wants to come home when his Dad arrives - so if we need help in getting him to Green Bay or to Neenah hospital therapy sources, Mark can help. This is certainly a devastating experience for us. As Bill says, he can't understand how he can come out of surgery in worse shape than when he went in. The University's top neurosurgeon did the surgery and he didn't work within the sheathing on the spinal column - but there had to be pressure brought to bear on something, somewhere! Bill tells me now that with similar operations,he was told, 70^ patients recover to some better state, some stay the same, and some deteriorate. However, Bill had no choice - other than ending up in a wheel chair the rest of his life. His problem of too narrow or small a spinal column - which is apparently hereditary-allows for little of the normal calcification there which takes place with most of us when vie get older, without impairment to limbs. So, we face whatever we have to and work from there. O.K. Enough is enough. I'm wondering if and when there will be pressure brought to bear on you in your job - like there was on Raskin...to lay off environmental issues in the State. Say "Hi" to Karen and tell Lauri (Lorrie) next time I come I'll draw a pretty picture of her!!.' Dorothy |
