-he said he had received a letter from PT (on PT letterhead) but that it was unsigned but he thought Richard would be the one to talk to

-he said that information had been requested about solar enrgy and crop drying and Fletcher said that there had been the wider question in the letter of relating to the entire energy system

-he said he could look at the global energy demands and the potential wood emphasis

-he said some energy could be substitued/ use wodd for generating electricity

-he said that he was told in the letter about 300 acres that were just cleared and he wanted to know if they were cleared for agriculture, residential or what combination

-said we could call him 63154 (home) before 9 AM or between 1 and 2 after 7:30

(after talking to Carl Grenich, GBS and Univ. Of Guyana – and hearing he came in with this group studying charcoal, I wondered if there was any connection) – Urmia Johnson of the WRSM said that Univ. Of Guyana is a rather conservative place/ it was traditionally conservative with few blacks/ now that is being remedied somewhat
