 DA> Grant,  Most of the smoke seems to be coming from nonfederationists.

     Yeah, but you all are being blinded by the smoke.

Hey go back and look at the NFB'S record of expulsions, go back to
1958 up till now, if you are not affraid to.  I think that it will
speak for itself.

Hey, I am not saying that the NFB does not do some good.  I know
that it has, but it is a shame that it has these downfalls.  I know
that everyone in NFB does not aggree with some of these actions of
the NFB, and I have some good friends in the NFB, but I must call
it as I see it.  I hope that you never get expelled, but a lot of
the other big boys in there thought it would never happen to them
either.  They took and overlooked untill they could not take it
anymore, and left.

I don't think that there was any more faithful and harder worker
for the NFB then Grant was, and that is why I was so surprised when
I found out that he was no longer in NFB.  We never did discuss the
NFB and the ACB because we new that we were on opposite sides of
the fence, and we did not want that to interfear with our
friendship.
