DDV,
Well I am finally getting around to answering your letter so your not the only one who gets into the ruts of being busy. Many people think I have nothing but time on my hands but thats not true. But with art exhibits in three states during june they have kept me busy handling the orders from the shows.
Hey that was quite a discovery you made under the house, have you found anything interesting besides what you mention thus far?    The two movies you mention I have seen both of them Premature Burial and the Night of the living dead. Now thats one they are working on a sequel on. and is due out in the next six months.
Well today is a holiday and I have taken most of the day catching up on my letters and a break from the paintings. Since I work on so many at the same time I have to do them in sections letting some dry while I work on others, but its been a steady 10 to 12 hours a day.

Hey the notice was sent to all that I correspond with, so it wasn't to single you out,and it is at the request of my attorney that its done. Hey its either that or the ones who don't sign ad return it then I won't be writing them. So don't take it as personal as its not meant that way. I figure the people who do not have anything to hide or are not up to no good they should have no problem in signing it. So your just one of some 50 that went out, and it means what it says. I can't see anyone being interested in making public what I say either but you have some low lifes out there who are so hard up they will do anything for a buck.
Hey I am glad to hear that I am not known where you live thats fine with me. and I agree with you that the news media in America makes these so called infamous celebrity characters out of criminal acts.    I hate it and thats why I have never granted an interview like Mason does. in fact many times they ask me and then go to him. and hell he can have that shit as I am not interested. My case and appeal will be handled in the court and thats the only ones I am interested in hearing my side of the story,fuck the public they are so easily brainwashed by the media they would believe anything that is printed.    Anyone with any sense should know that newspapers are sold by headline anything dealing with sex and gore, and thats their greed for money and selling papers. the truth has no place, in fact take a case like mine if you were to print all the facts instead of this fantasy monster they made up, it would be boring to read. None the less there are asshole out there who think if they can say they know me because of the media hype they feel they have done something in there life. Most of them who write to people in my position do so because they have been looser most of their lives and want to be a part of something or someone who is famous or infamous. I personally would never write to anyone in prison but thats my view and opinion. I think most people who write me have come incontact with me because of the fantasy and they want to find out for themselves Which makes me wonder who they public is going to handle a reverzal of my case. they are only going to be able to stall my case so long and then the Federal courts will follow the law and have to reverse it.
