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

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:

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.
