[Vision2020] Steve Wilkins on Racism

[Jerry Owen]

Rose and Steve and V20/20,

I did read Wilkins on hospitality, and it was a fine one.  To quench your 
curiosity, the reason why I mentioned three weeks (and running, don't 
forget) of research on the Neoconfeds was because that's how long Bill 
London said (actually two weeks, but I like to be optomistic and not think 
he's wrapped it up already) he has even known about it.  Did you hear the 
little discussion on KUOI the other night? How Bill, who is so plugged in 
and obviously a Not in Our Town spokesman, could be so ignorant of your deep 
archive on V2020, well, it boggles.

You are cordially invited and need only to show up.  Steve would be glad to 
answer any questions or concerns you have much as Doug did at the town 
meeting you missed out on.  But fair enough, you had an ordination party to 
attend.

Best,

JO
