. and I know you will delete this one, 

Maybe take notes on the other one and delete it as well.

I really like Mary but she went on and on about how everything should be
documented in this transition between Perry and Ken.

Perry told her over and over again that it was and she just didn't let it
go.

Finally Tracy said. "I don't want to hear any more about that or the
telescope."

Wow!

Like. does that mean you are on your own?

I sure wouldn't want to piss him off. we need him and I don't know what
Mark, our new guy thought of all of it.

What happened to Jim. someone asked.  Did he get locked out?  Mark went and
checked but  that was after several minutes.

About Kay. Like you, I think she will get into some panic and try to do
something stupid.

Could a person get some restraining order in place with the telescope
confiscated until everything is settled?

Later Kay learned over to me and whispered.  "You and I have known Jim the
longest, what do you think is going on with him, he just doesn't seem like
himself?"

I said. I didn't know and left it at that as the meeting was still going on
and I wouldn't have commented any  more anyway.

I left early 'cause we had company coming.

Mark will do what he can to fill in for Dan who isn't responding to calls
from Tracy.

I talked about the Derleth Dinner and said it is still a good possibility
and will know more around the first of May.

When I got home. David Rajchel called me. out of the blue.  I haven't talked
to him in weeks, even months.

He said he spent time with Mark either before the meeting or maybe Saturday
night. 

I said. I have to go.. but how do you know Mark?

He said Dr. George introduced them at some show.

That's interesting.

First I learn no one wants to deal with George or even hear about him and
yet his name continues to come up now and then. 

The next newsletter will come out the middle of May with a mass mailing and.

Info about the Derleth Dinner

And my suggestions. to take advantage of this mass mailing to educated or
inform potential new members with as much as we can.  Derleth's history, his
family, friends, a picture of Hugo, an invitation to join ADS from our
president etc.

I told Kay I had a lot of that info already and that I would help her with
it.  Surprise. it actually went well.

I told the board I had about 5 authors (including Jerry Apps) lined up to
sell stuff and that you and I would have things also.

I'd still like to work on some interviews with you to record (video tape) or
print out.

I SURE HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME AND TO THE BOARD.  YOU ARE THE
MAIN REASON I'M HANGING IN THERE.  I CAN SEE THE POTENTIAL ONCE WE GET OVER
A COUPLE OF THESE DAMN MOUNTAINS THAT  ARE IN OUR WAY.

Feel free to call me tonight or tomorrow night between 7 and 9 PM if you
will.  We talked about a lot including future goals, finding money for a
building/museum, more scholarships, learning facility etc.

YOU ARE LOVED AND NEEDED JIM. DON'T EVER DOUBT THAT.

Me

One of your faithful friends.
