Regarding the mathematical sculptor Helaman Ferguson and his eviction, (see URL below) he feels that a body of national support may help a lot. If you would be willing to sign a letter in support of the worth of his work, please me a short note with your name and email address, as I am collecting a list of names for him. If you are unfamiliar with his work, see http://www.helasculpt.com/ and if you wish to contact Helaman directly, his email address is helamanf@helasculpt.com George http://www.georgehart.com/ http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~george/ Helaman Rolfe Pratt Ferguson <helamanf@helasculpt.com> wrote:
Dear George,
Thank you for your interest and sympathy. Life down here is getting seriously interesting, I will keep your offer in mind. Can you put together say a couple of dozen people? I don't know what form the "go on the record in support of" would take, but it might be helpful. I have been getting some local political support but I don't know how stable such verbal support is. The Washington Post will probably do a follow-up, especially if the new developer continues with his court eviction proceedings or some other disaster for me, and a body of national support may help a lot.
Yours truly,
Helaman

Helaman,
I'm sorry to hear of your situation; I just read of your eviction in the Washington Post. (A friend sent me this URL: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A43083-2002Dec11.html
Being off in NY and not wealthy, I doubt I can do much, but if I can help in any way, I'd be happy to. Lacking the obvious form of help, (megabucks) what I could do is try to get some people to sign a petition if you had a letter you wanted sent to someone. Many people I know would be happy to go on the record in support of the worth of what you do.
