system in the United States? But what other explanation could there be for

the fact that the history of "America's Pastime" is being denied to Texas

Death Row prisoner Kenneth Foster Jr.?

Hi Jeff-
I just checked this site after a month, coincidentally today was Fleet's day at Harvard and I've just missed him! But, please tell me about Lionheart and its activities around the area. Thank you,
David

Hey Jeff. Thank you again for the book. I used it Thursday and referred to it in my writeup for my session at Lookout. I'm really finding it powerful for myself personally. I will continue to try to use it as a discussion and teaching piece in the prison.

Fleet and Kate's book is awesome too.

Thanks a million,
Mark

Hey Jeff.

Man, That book is really transformative. I used it tonight. I'm really really loving the book. Thank you and your crew. By the way, there was someone who called me asking if I would call them back about a review for the book and if it's helped and in what way. I'd like to call that person back if possible. I moved recently, and everything's been upside down, including the phone situation. But I"m back on track now.

Talk to you soon,
Mark

Hi Jeff,
I'm very sorry to hear about this theft from you account involving family members. How awful!! No question it mus have been some connection you had with Michael Bolton to bring on that kind of karma. I hope you lawyer can quickly prevail on your behalf. I will let you know when I plan to be in Montague next. Glad you were able to get there and connect with Jim. I'm looking forward to getting the Springfield project underway. Look forward to connecting soon. Let's stay in touch!
Very best,
Fleet

Jeff, Just got an email back from Jenny Phillips about The Dhamma Brothers... she said that the movie will not be available until after the festival & theatrical runs. You mentioned it will be showing at the Miami Film Festival... is this the MIFF going from Feb - March 2008? I'd love to travel down and see it if that's the earliest I can view it! Thanks for the info Jeff!
Lauren
