Re: Barely operational .. hoping to find myspace help

Thanks! Replying to the list as well .. several kind folks replied off-list.

As you can imagine, getting a lawyer's letterhead could involve some expense that our shoestring volunteer organization 
wishes to avoid .. which is why I sought a tech contact in order to pave the way if possible (sometimes it's still WHO 
you know more than WHAT you know). 

Good news is that the parole officer has now assured my client that no matter what PSP told him, the PO won’t technical 
him for circumstances beyond his control. So the pucker factor is markedly diminished. 

This is a public thanks to all who have sent off-line offers of help and support! The effort continues but now with 
more manageable urgency.

And thanks to the list for being gracious re this non-operational followup.

Blessings..

..Allen
