JEFF!

I have some sad news to pass on. Willie Lawson committed suicide yesterday. He was found this morning in his car, he took tylenol PM and drank beer. I have kept in constant contact with Willie and Janie over the last 24 years and my heart is aching. I don't understand any of this. It is so unlike Willie. May he finally find peace and rest.

56 DAYS

That's right 56 days left in captivity! We leave the island June 6th, take a 6 day ferry ride to Bellingham Washington and start our drive cross country. We should be in NC the last week of June. Our shit won't be there for 2 months and we'll be camping out in the house, but oh well..at least I'm getting paroled. 56 more months and it ON! Prepare yourselves. LOL

Our new address in Hertford NC is

111 William Drive
Hertford NC 27944

I'll post the phone number once we have the phone turned on. We are officially homeowners now. What a scary thought!

Love to you all!
