12ev. Hults Editorial Now & Then Hey thanks for the support for the Left Coast Group, the checks are flowing in and our fund raising efforts have encouraged us that our first book might just make the shelves of our local bookstores in time for the ‘holiday season’. And we might just encourage this trend by letting our constant readers in on a little more of what we are d°Weil Uncle Mike’s Guide to the Real Oregon Coast by Michael Burgess, with disturbing illustrations by Steve Mcleod, is as close as it has ever been to completion. We have a wonderfully satirical travel guide that will make Tom McCall giggle in his grave. Steve has captured the dark humor graphically. We have engaged Bill Me Conaughy to he p us make it beautiful as a volume. Now, all we need is enough cash to print it and delis er it to folks that want it. We plan to print a thousand copies, and that will cost about five grand. We are hoping that you, will send us S20 and trust us to send you one. lhey will make great presents for those people you love, but don’t want to see at Bill’s and they will be autographed by Mike and Steve, cool, hUfhe Left Coast Group also has some other books in the works.

It costs $35 but that is going to the Oregon Native Youth Council. These folks have a very' good record of making a major difference in the lives of native American youth. Billy, - It is my understanding that the Upper Lett Edge will feature “politics” (with a little p) this coming issue. The Oregon Coast Support Group would like to remind voters and candidates that the Indian Wars continue and the United States government and politicians still make promises during elections that are never kept Billy, I wish 1 wrote like you but alas, not. So, I have enclosed a few quotes by Indian People who not only say it like it is but do so eloquently.

Four Guns ONU LOT EDGE OCTOBER Speaking of books, we recently spoke to, well..... “D”, an author. “D” stopped using his last name years ago and got down to an initial for his first venture in literature, and an interesting venture it is. The book takes you inside the mind of Jamie, a beautiful 28 year old woman who is a coma after being hit by a taxi cab. The reader is invited by the author to share what he has learned about the female mind from women he interviewed in the writing of this small, poetic, and totally original work. It, of course, has all the failings of a first effort. It does seem to have less than most, if only because it is not calculated. The structure is simple, the thoughts of a young woman who has no control over her environment. Ring any bells? We don’t find out that she is in a coma until the end when she wakes up and finds out that the lover she dreams of has been by her bedside everyday, he has been in an accident and he is dead. Well, let’s give you a sample, she has just been told, «.....came to see you almost every day. He d ask ‘How’s my angel today?", then sit quiet near your bed, or at times arrive all excited to tell vou things that had happened that day...even read to you....befriending the night nurses, so they would let him in after hours, when he was too busy to come during the day. I remember finding him a few mornings asleep in a chair next to v ou. And even though flowers weren’t allowed in your room, he’d bring them for you every time....leaving them at the nurses station, or giving them to the other patients. When others came to see you, he always left...then he was the only one coming...looking so sad most of the time, but then you’d see him smile, just staring at you ...brought that little stereo there, along with tapes he’d mixed ...said he knew you could hear...then a few days ago, he left the hospital late and while walking home, was hit by a car and died. Jamie just stared. “...oh yeah, he said if you woke when he was not here, to give you this letter.... Jamie slowly took, and held the letter dear, knowing already what it said. 1 hen laid back, nestled in the feathers of her wings, no longer denying love.” “D” will be reading at Powell’s on Hawthorne Nov. 7th at 7:30 PM accompanied on Cello by Morgan Ryser.
