Letter To Matthew 6-08

June 14, 2008


Dear Matthew,
Sorry I have not really been in the writing mood. I have a lot on my plate and I am trying to get the photos to you ASAP. When I do write it is generally to Gabe, he is all consuming. It is straining my marriage, but we are trying to get through it together. Rick was actually going to leave last week, but I convinced him my marriage was worth fighting for. And I truly believe that!
Our baby girl Elena is going to give us the first grand-baby in February, so that is cool.
E-bay there does not appear to be any one section for just prison art. Anyone can sell anything on the net…anything. Even used panties… ick!
The nude photos were most likely of your gal-pal that you flew out and took to the beach with you. LOL, those are the pictures I showed the FBI when they asked me about her…They asked me what she looked like and I said oh I know how just about every inch of her looks….I will never forget their faces…. They were like how did you come across these photos? I laughed and said you left the film in my camera…. It truly was funny at the time. I am glad to hear you are getting the photos and I will try to remember to get the cell number part right from now on.
Are you allowed to write other inmates? Gabe is allowed to write others but I wonder if that is just a Oregon thing. I guess you could write him and send it here, I would forward it. But here is his address, as you know how important mail call is. He would respond.

He is doing well, has got into school and is working full time in the kitchen, he has climbed really fast pissing off other inmates but the supervisor (another inmate) told them to Fuck Off! Gabriel is a hard worker and they recognized it. So he works out in the yard from 9 to 10:30, works from 10:30 to 7pm, goes to school 7-9pm, then has 1.5 hours left to watch a movie…. Pretty tight routine, but it keeps him out of trouble. I need to wrap this up now you know I do know how to write…. Gas is $4.21 cents a gallon up here….way crazy!
Peace,
Mars

You are always in my heart and prayers, can you believe our journey started 35 years ago… Look where we are today… Sad but True!
