Hi Linda.

I was one of those 1000 people who was at the Albequerque, NM. conference.
I spoke to you in the Resturant, down stairs.

It was at that MUFON Convention, that I first became accquainted with
Jeff Sanyo as well.

I feel for you.  I realize that the mass of humanity, for the most part
is nothing more that a group of bottom scavengers.
They feel it is their duty to expose those who have different views
or beliefs than they.  They are such small minded individuals, who
have no power of their own, so they mass togethere like an oozing
cancer and absorbe everything they touch.

Unfortunately, you happened to cross their slimy path.  You have
my sympathy.  I don't know if your experiences are real or not.
I didn't experience them.  But, I do defend your right to think
and express your belief about those experiences.  After all, I
thought this was the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the home of the
Brave and the Land of the Free.  The place where individual,
God given rights were guaranteed by the Consititution and the
Preamble to the Constitution...as well as the Bill of Rights.

Am I wrong?  Do these things not matter in this country any
longer?

Peace be with you and your family Linda.

REgards, Mike C.
