I see that you are from Fairfield, and I support the ideas in your
article.  I am a member of the Sierra Club, and a Story County Democrat.  I
will try and get write and article for the paper, but I have been limited
to one article per month by the Register, and the Ames Tribune.

As a sideline I would like your assistance in delivering a thank you
message to a "Pam" who stopped by to offer her assistance with a flat tire
on my trailer.  She told me that she was from Fairfield, IA, and worked in
the Conservation Office of the County, but I didn't ask her for her last
name at the time.  She may remember a senior citizen, with one mechanical
hand, who was deleighted to have someone from Iowa have another Iowan stop
and volunteer to help another Iowan on the Nebraska portion of I-80.  I
nave a son, John, who is a professor of Biology at the Northern Michigan
University at Marquette, MI.  He is or was President of the Marquette
Chapter of the Sierra Club, and my be able to help you in your goal of
writing a letter.  His email is
Dr. John Rebers  <[log in to unmask]>   I hope that this info may be of some
help.  Please send Pam''s email if you have it.  I believe that she could
help you also.
