bob - rachel and i will be arriving saturday afternoon (9th). we're
staying in the same place over by snowbird. keep in touch...if no one is
around on sunday, and you are, we should make a test run over to hazel. i
need to check out the cable cove boat ramp, and figure out a way to anchor
the boat over at hazel, so it doesn't grind on the rocks, and i'm sure
your assistance will be most beneficial.

i'm still unsure who's where when...

well, it looks as if i will be able to make the last few days of the
clave, maybe thursday after next through the weekend. i'm back from greene
county, tenn, where we have finished a crack cocaine conspiracy trial in
federal court for the eastern district of tennessee in three days, which i
had thought would last ten working days. the asst. u.s. atty gave us a
pretrial witness list numbering over 60. he put seven snitches on the
stand, and rested. our defendants were three black guys from north
carolina. there were no african americans in the jury venire. the ausa
said that he had been there for five years, and had only one black juror.
in unicoi county, tenn., adjacent to our venue, the last census polled the
following number of a.a inhabitants: 0.

one socially redeeming factor: the judge was terrific. we won freedom
for one of the three guys when he ruled that the evidence was insufficient
to get to the jury as to him.

obroff: the drive across the spine of time, from boone to the valley
behind the blue ridge, in tennessee, includes random views of some pretty
little creeks, and glimpses of the watauga river in a deep gorge.

finally, jeffie, fyo: anchoring at the mouth of hazel is no problem for
the cosmetic value of your matchless craft. soft mud banks, and low wakes.
