PHONE MESSAGES, 2004

 File — Box: 133

Scope and Contents

173 pages. Another relatively quiet year of mountain climbing, non-productive novel writing (Spoon Mountain, Empanada Brotherhood), reduced paticipation in outside public venues. A couple anti-war rallies, also a few political talks in support of Kerry for President. I attended an Arizona State writers conference; the Hassayampa Institute in Prescott, AZ; and went to a Canyonlands benefit in Moab, Utah commemorating 15 years since Ed Abbey's death. One big talk I gave was at a benefit in Nambe, NM, to protest the Aamodt water adjudication suit. Otherwise, I kept a low profile.

Again, phone messages are mostly from friends who've already been identified above. The following list includes some newcomers:
