Dear Mr.

Halloran,

I am responding to your recent phone call regarding a

phone

conference on Febeuary

I

0,2003.

As you know

I

left a phone

message for you advising you that I had been in the hospital and did not get home to receiveyour message until Februaiy 8,

2003, and February 10, 2003

was already spoken for for

me

with medical treatment appointments I

had to

honor.

I also left

a message that

I

would

write you

last week

advising you of days I ‘vsvuld be available for a :3-way telephonic

cnference.

This

Is

the

first

chance I have hadto correspond with you.

On February 12, 2003 I had

to

return to the hospital

to receive 1V medications,

and transfusions and was released yesterday.

As you know frcsn prior correspondence, I have

been quite ill.

It has been very difficult for me to do much right now.

I

am not

staying at my home right

nowdueto requiring assistanceand having physical limitations.

I can provide

you

with

days

I ~ld

hope

to

be available to discussthis noise complaint, and

I

understand that you and the Board need updates and

needto movethe casealong.

Perhaps

it

would be

better to shelve this case for

the

next

4-5

months,

as I am havingto travel

some distance out

of

town for

medical care and

hospitalizations.

I am

uncomfhrtable

committing

to dates fi~

calls

to you

and possibly not able to follow through due to health care

comm

nts-thatariseon my behalf

UnlessMr. OConnorand his client have fixed

the

problem ofnoise pollution coming from

the

roof of

the school,

we will

need to keep this case open

to try

andresolve

the matter.

It

is my hope you andBoard will be understanding

of

the

circumstances.

People

get sick, Mr.

J-Iallcran.

Ifthe school

had

resolved

the

noise

problem years

ago as

I

requested,

would not need

to be

spending

my personal

unpaidtime

to put

this

letter together, finding someoae

to type it for

me, and even havingto deal

with

this issue when

I

should be

focusing on health matters currently before

me.

Please advise atyour convenienceon

whether you wish

to try

and set adate for aphone conference, with the understanding

that Imay need

to

cancel at

late

notice due

to

health care matters,

or

if

we should delaythe matter for several

months until

my

healthcare improvesand we can move on this casehopefully uninterrupted,

If

Respondenthas not corrected

the

noise

problem as

ofthis date.

Thank yo~

Sincerely,

Rebecca
