Show V? California and the environmentalists have a great opportunity to discuss among themselves "how to stop dam projects"! You see the ramifications that come out of living in Utah. My group cannot even recognize the importance of getting someone to these hearings from Utah, at least; Kinghorn, Power, the Sierra Club, some fly fisherman! Well, I'm trying to get them to see the necessity for this! So much for the CUP efforts. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ABOUT OUR STRATEGY! It's O.K. to talk about the fact that the group is working on the issue. I just don't want the Bureau to get the lead on what we are trying to do. They are already anticipating our legal and cost moves., and coming up with the Ute Indian maneuver. And, I don't want to stifle interest among people about the CUP. We are going to need letter writers and support from Wyoming and other States eventually. I was sent an excellent handout on the CAP and its suit from the Audubon Society there, whose President is heading up the suit. We've been trying to develop our own brochure - for public information. But the issues are complex and we have been so involved in responding to ongoing action, we have'nt got this brochure underway. However, I think this is a good model and we can copy it. When available, you can use this to help us develop interest in and concern about the CUP. You're a citizen, friend! And a taxpayer! Again - so much for CUP efforts! Bill is still in the hospital. He came home for three days at Christmas. He is recovering, slowly. Has use of left leg, and left arm - except for the hand. He is moved to Physical Therapy and they have arrived at the right amount of medicine to control the spasms in his right leg which prevented walking. He is now walking some with crutches as well as with his walker. There have been two staffings recently to discuss his coming home - time and continuing therapy. We are nearing the end of that road. It has been a long, long ordeal for Bill. Me? I work in the daytime continually on CUP issues. I am really wholly isolated from human contact he,re - on any level of interest I have. I cannot drop what I consider to be significant work - to the level of just existing. Maybe I'm wrong! Maybe, eventually I'll have to! But for now, I keep going. However, come evenings, I slip into deep depressions. Over everything! And, I'm trying to guard against this - because this could be disastrous! It was helpful having Mark home for a month at Christmas. We had a wonderful opportunity to discuss so many things - and this kept me on beam! I'll always be greatful for this opportunity - one, mothers seldom have once their kids graduate from college. However, I try not to let on |
