“You think YOU hate
this LETTER stuff?!
Think of how WE feel!”
Charly’s 2002
Christmas Letter
CONTINUED!

“YEAH! At least she
doesn’t make YOU
wear the damn hatz!”

JULY, 2002

Nuthin’ much this month! … well … ‘cept for my first Restraint Asphyxia TV gig!

While researching a piece on restraint asphyxia (after yet another death there), a San Diego ABC Newz reporter found my web site and immediately contacted me. After chatting with me, and spending more time on my web site, he got the local (Lincoln) ABC folkz to video tape an interview with me (while he asked his questions via a speaker phone).

So … I appeared on the Channel 10 News in San Diego on August 7th! The segment’s VIDEO was available on their web site for awhile, but it’s inoperable now. The NEWS STORY based on the piece can still be read there, however. If you want to read it, CLICK HERE!

AUGUST, 2002

I got a NEW CAR!!!

The lease on my ’98 Acura Integra was up.
And, since I wasn’t particularly happy with that car
(nor with the fact that there is NO Acura dealer in Lincoln),
I switched to a HONDA ACCORD.

I absolutely LUV my 2002 Accord LX!

It’s every bit as comfy and luxurious as the Acura. But, it’s bigger (easier for Mum & Pop to get in and out of), has a more powerful engine (oh! like I needed that!), and it gets unbelievable gas mileage!

AND, I absolutely LUV leasing! I have a fixed monthly payment that’s easy to budget for …
NO “surpriZe” repair bills or periods of time without a car …
and EVERY THREE YEARS I GET A NEW VEHICLE!
Life is Gude.

NOVEMBER, 2002

Nuthin’ much this month! … well … ‘cept for my SECOND Restraint Asphyxia TV gig!

While doing the video taped interview for the San Diego ABC Newz reporter, the LOCAL (Lincoln) ABC Newz reporter became interested in the subject. He did a lot of research regarding the restraint asphyxia deaths that have occurred HERE, and decided that HE should do a report on restraint asphyxia, as well.

So … I appeared on the Channel 8 News in Lincoln on November 20th! This stations’ Web Site does not include video OR newz stories. So, you’ll have to come visit me to see a copy of the video!

DECEMBER, 2002

Whoa – HO!

I’m all caught up with FOUR restraint asphyxia cases that are still “on-going.” (I “closed” THREE cases this year – a couple of them were settled based only upon the content of my REPORT!)

And, I’m not ready to start writing the next edition of my EMT-Basic National Standards Review Self Test … YET!

So, I’m scrambling to finish up Christmas stuff, and get back to work on my Web Site Restraint Asphyxia projects! (There are TONS of them!!!)


“Get hat off … Off … OFF!”


“This can come OFF now?!”

That’s
IT,
Folkz!!!

“OFF, please.”


“VENGEANCE
will be SWEET!

Our Fandamily remains
Unbelievably BLESSED by Fortune
(in spite of all its twists and turns),
and we are ALL
ENORMOUSLY THANKFUL
for being alive and reasonably healthy!!!

I Dearly and Sincerely Hope that
YOU and YOUR FANDAMILY
Have Enjoyed Similar GUDE FORTUNE in 2002
– and that You Enjoy Even BETTAH Fortune
during the coming year!!!



UNTIL 2003’s LETTER
