Dear Lynda Thompson,
I am pleased to report that negotiations with
Southwest
Baptist University and the Missouri Baptist
Convention
have progressed.
Although I anticipate that my business with Southwest
Baptist University will be concluded by the first week
of April, I have asked that any agreement be reviewed
and approved by the full
Missouri Baptist Convention
Board of Trustees as they meet for their
Spring meeting
on April 9-10, 2001.
As a portion of my contention with SBU deals directly
with the collaboration of Southwest Baptist
University
officials and associates with the Empire Electric
Company,
I would ask that if you should have any further inquiries
about my electrical account before the April 9-10 MBC
meeting please direct those inquiries to the following
individuals:
Dr. C. Pat Taylor, Southwest Baptist University President:

The Board of Trustees of the Missouri Baptist
Convention:
Correspondence to the MBC Trustees should be directed
to Mr. Jim Hill, the executive director of the
Missouri
Baptist Convention (contact information given above),
who will convey your inquiries to the MBC
Trustees.
If, for some reason, you must contact me before mid-April,
please send your correspondence by certified mail. In
the last several months, I have experienced a resurgence
of delayed, opened, and stolen mail.
I will keep you apprised of any changes or adjustments
to this scheduling.
Should these negotiations prove successful, I expect
that I will be leaving quickly (most probably in either
April or May) to begin the long-overdue treatment for
pesticide and solvent poisoning, and, hopefully, begin
a new life elsewhere.
I will, at that time, send you written confirmation in
order to formally close my electrical account and
transfer it into my landlord's name.
My landlords have expressed an interest in converting
this house into a stately Bed and Breakfast Inn.
I sincerely hope this is so.
Since my injuries at Southwest Baptist
University,
my landlords have allowed me to stay in this home
even though I have thus far been able to make only
sporadic, token rental payments.
Under my landlords' gentle and generous care of this
house, I can already envision this
Christmas Holiday
season when this grand, rambling mansion will be
filled
with guests, festivities, feasts, the laughter of family,
friends, and children, and the sparkling of
Christmas
lights
to replace the hunger, privation, isolation, pain,
suffering, and darkness which this house has silently
witnessed for so many long years.
My Sincerest Regards and Wishes for a Happy
Spring,
Marie Ann O'Hara
