Wow! The attorney has finally filed the papers with the Clemency Board and expects a hearing in a month or two.

He is asking for letters of support, so if you will send one, I would appreciate it so very much. As you well know, I’ve been turned down with my previous attempts at this, but with an attorney this time, I think I stand a pretty good chance.

The thought of getting out of here is both overwhelming and exciting…and a little scary. I know, though, that it will all work out, and there will be new opportunities to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Enclosed is my latest essay – “Peeling the Onion”. Having been stripped of so much, I feel sensitivity and a connectedness that I’ve never felt before. Life has a way of peeling us like an onion, and as each layer is peeled away, life gets more and more precious.
