Subject: Re: Wakulla 2 (fwd) private
Jeff, tell Tom I am sorry for repeating his private mail, even thoough
I am sure there is nothing here that he would not say to anyone, except
maybe the part about King, I was wondering why there were no addreses
when I hit the reply key. Anyway, the reason Tom does not know the
objective is that there is none - only a bunch of excuses that they made
up . I was at the meeting when they were dreaming up stories that they
thought the State would like to hear, and wehn I started laughing, Wes
SKiles said, "we will go way over the head of the peo0ple who are
letting you dive". One "objective"  was to connect Indian to Sally, and
Sally to Wakulla ( I guess they wre betting on Doug Hand's mother diving
WITH Jimbo this time), and there were some other stupid ideas as well.
The real reason is to get Jim KIng into Wakulla and all of the goofballs
that we will not let near us, like  Ralph Hood.
