The fellow he is to call to put me in contact with is both loved and dispised by locals, but carries a lot of weight in these parts, as with the NAACP locally. We'll see what, if anything, happens. I'll let you know.
AASN, I invited him to ride in the FReepmobile to Hot Springs for our next HWFRmeet. Will also keep you posted on that.
