Show Madison, Wisconsin November 25, 1978 Mr. K. Down here for Thanksgiving. We were invited out to dinner with friends here and got Bill manipulated into their house via walker and wheelchair. Did him a world of good to get out of the hospital, I am going to try to work the same arrangement today to take him to the University bookstore - if we can get the wheel chair in our car and I can find parking nearby. CLrLcA ->d*JL &LL~i~>+ yKHAtXJ^ I am taking the position, now, that Bill should remain in the hospital for purposes of getting the excellent physical therapy he is until such time that he won't lose ground transferring to out patient therapy somewhere in our neck of the woods. He has a long way to go in getting both legs and arms functioning and we need the most consistent therapy we can get on a daily basis. Pretty grim business, frien&J David Freed, Dr. Harold Lamb, Hart. Wixom, and Bill Geer, fisheries biologist with DWR met with Governor Matheson and Gordon Harmston Nov. 17 to appeal bo the Governor for instream flow allowances, David said that Hartt and Dr. Lamb did a good job of presenting the issues and, of course Bill Geer. would too. However, I am told that this meeting was presented as a "political" appeal - Freed aet assaying, to the Governor . "Look, we voted for you and you have done nothing for the environment." I am hearing that the Governor will appeal to the Water Conservancy people when contract negotiations come up soon, for water instream flows. I am also hearing that Nelson Plummer, BuRec, will also do the same. However, I doubt if we will get anywhere near the 48.000 a f of water F. & W. Service is asking for. It is best you don't mention that Plummer will attempt this. Already he got incensed because one of our CRCUP people heard about it and questioned himJ Meanwhile, I am working like a beaver in both getting our house scrubbed and reorganized, room by room, and sending out information on the Bonneville Unit, Working on Proxmire, Nelson, Henry Reuss, and KPA right now, Mark is coming home on December 14, for over Christmas, leaving my truck in Jackson still. While we are not pressuring him to come home at this time, I think he feels he ought to see and be with his Dad. I don't even know whether Bill should come home by or for Christmas. Apparently we are' dealing with an area of medicine where there is little medical information available or known about the possible and/or probable aftereffects of lamenectomies, Recovery is wholly individual, Hope you had a good Thanksgiving holiday. Did you hunt? How's your house situation coming along? Dorothy •Yin -Cwvu^ A Vtdhu ?S. fuM^UjL <i^LU^^ -fa. i^JU^Jt^r |
