Hi Pat!  good to hear from you, and I will keep it cool.  As far as i cam concerned, the issues have finally been winnowed down to two: 
 *the role of bonnie parker in the barrow gang crimes, including her admitted lack of warrants charging her with anything resembling a capital crime' 
 *the ambush, and it's horrific aftermath; 
 How you and Kate handle this is fine with me.   I remain somewhat startled at how Pig shifts identtities so quickly = he is Jerry Dorsen one day,  SchlimmPickens the next, none of them true.  Amamzing!  BUT, you and Kate deserve credit for getting the revision started!  Hurray!  good job, and you should pat yourself on the back, no pun intended, for being able to stay cool through Pig's various aliases and insults.  It is the finish time: we are rewriting, or you are, and I am advising.  Proud of you both!  Take care, and thanks for writing me!   You are a thoroughly good guy.  My grandkids have kept me going today!
