I'm a family member of the author, Andrew Halfpenny. I tried multiple times to visit during this most recent lock-down period, as it was the first time I was in the region in over a year. Time and time again, my visit was denied. There was no prior notice or information available, save for tiny piece of paper taped to the prison's entrance. Which could be seen only AFTER making the trip out to the prison- located at a site inaccessible by public transit and thus a prohibitively far and expensive trip for many inmates' friends and families.
I am going to send a letter tomorrow but the service that I used to send you funds indicates that you cannot get mail. I hope you get my gift of funds and my letter. If not and only this blog gets to you, know that I am trying. It appears that you have 2 Appleton connections.
Hey David, Sorry I haven't written lately I've been so busy. And Al got a great job offer so we're moving to central Illinois next week, believe it or not! I'm actually turning down the biggest job promotion of my life (I was going to take over running an entire program with eight staff). After our move I'll be a stay at home mom for a couple years. It might be a while before I can really sit down and write, so for now this post will have to do. I do have about five half-started letters piled up over the past year, LOL. Take care! Katrina
I'm so sorry you lost your friend. I wish there were something I could say or do to make you feel better. Well maybe I can tell you a few things to improve your mood. For starters Connor has become a rather good football player. Although he's a freshman he's been asked to play JV. I've been told he is skinnier than the other boys but when he runs at them he plows them over like dominos. Mickie is trying to be her schools sports team manager. And Ellie is thrilled at the fact that she is the second smartest kid. They seem to like their school here, its a small school here in Wyoming but its really nice they provide their students with laptops and such. I hope you didnt think I was being one of those vindictive people. I never intended to be and as I see it you've had enough time to "sit in your room and think of what you done". I often wonder if we could be friends again if you were out. I'm anxious to find out and heck to even see how you and the new hub would mesh. We went to the lake today and he thought it was funny to skip rocks at me and ellie, luckily he hasent the best of aim. Well dear I'm gonna hop off this thing. I wish you a wonderful day and good night.
1 love 1 son 1 dad 2 real niggas love
Thank you for sharing!
