Jack James was a tremeodous worker but I think he just got tired
of it.  Jack, Hank, Sam, Johny Cook, ya they were a real tem
throughhot and heavy, good and bad.  However I think they got
burned out.  However things weren't that bad.  The Fernandez
presidency was the time when things really started getting bad
in the state of Louisiana.  Not all bad mind you but that is
when the dictatorship began.  Hank would have never tolerated
the things that went on after the Fernandez people took over.
Walter I think's jack's modivation about coming back is he like
me wanted to work to improve things for the blind inthe state
and boy he sure did it. Grant

Bill, glad things are going well for you, and I certainly wish
you the best.  I guess the silver lining behind things going
awful is that you know they have to get better.  I read a book
once titled "I've Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me", so
I have no doubt that there will be more fun in '91!
Take care,
Linda
