It is in the best interests of all to keep this thing on a more formal basis and in writing. I haven't been calling Ted but he has been calling me and I have tried to be cooperative. I will continue that: 000perative effort when it comes through you as his real estate agent. Kelly would like for the same thing to apply as far as contact which ,you have to be made to him. Just funnel it through me and I will get a response, On the deal with Ted's concerns about the roads, we had a plan, I felt it was an agreed plan, I was to write a letter to Larry Crawford explaining the changing of the guard and, thus, a need to formalize what we had previously agreed, so that Ted had a current. record. On his own, he charged off on a different tangent and made direct contact with Larry Crawford, Fortuitously, I forgot to mail the letter which I had typed to Crawford. It would have made it to his office in the Monday mail and probably to his desk about the time Ted was showing up or mayle after. I believe that letter would have set; off a time -bomb in which Larry would have felt someone was trying to sandbag him. But it didn't go out, On Monday, Ted called and said he had a meeting scheduled with Crawford in a couple of hours and could I attend. I could not but said I could do it another day, even though the idea was baffling to me based on what had been discussed. Couldn't happen that way was his input, so he went, to the meeting. I, frankly, do not believe that harry Crawford came up with any info that is different from what 1 said he had agreed to and any different from what is on the plans. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I have reviewed the correspondence leading to this point and feel very comfortable about what has been done. There could be some minor misinterpretation, but I doubt anything of any consequence. It iA n truism that with some skill.ful effort the whole thing could hnve rrn ar.rewed-up by charging into Larry Crawford'a office. liut don't lame Kelly and me if such has happened. We had a rational plan. With no input, Ted took the thing into his own control and ignored what we felt, and no one said anything to the contrary, was a reasonable way to bring the thoughts on the questions into the current time frame. A comment given to Kelly was that Larry's input on Monday added $200,000 to the cost estimate of what had been previously shown. That is simply not believable, NOT BELIEVABLE, O6/26/97 10:37 TX/RX N0.0956 P.006 ■
