October 29, 1975 (Letter from Dick)


I mailed a letter of recommendation to Janet Alexander.  Hope you get what you want for a job.

I talked to Carmen about your retirement check and she checked into it.  They are in the process of getting it ready now, but they have had some trouble with their computer.  It may take another two weeks or so to get it out.  Normally it has not taken this long.  Carmen then asked about mine and the process cannot be started until the last day of work -- they then said it could take two months.  Fortunately I plan on using the money for a new car next spring, but I would like to have had the money to earn interest in the meantime.

I have four and a half more week and am counting each day.  Things are just as bad as ever around here.  Your position was not replaced at the prison.  AJ hired a reference librarian to do "institutional requests" which means reference just has another body to do their work and the prison must depend upon a guard.

Frank Morrison has really gotten into the whole mess -- he is now Bretz's attorney and is devoting a lot of time to the case.  He really feels that he is on to something a lot bigger than most realize. Not sure what will all come of it, but Frank is energetic and highly incensed.  His wife, Sharon, is now actively involved also and doing a lot of research for him.

I now definitely plan to spend the winter here, with some travel.  Mostly will be working on the silver and getting some skiing in.  Am seriously considering a job for next spring in the Southwest -- Arizona.

Keep in touch.
