Dear Old Time Counsel-Net Friend,

Thanks for your kind comments and
interest! If you will e-mail me at
hparkerson@suddenlink.net, I'll be glad
to discuss my situation and retirement
with you. As they say, no good deed will
go unpunished and a man will never forgive
you for the wrong he does you--nor a woman
either. (Humor intended!) The powers that
be came after me for telling the truth; and
to buy time to shut down my practice, I
agreed to resign and retire from law
practice. Long story, but I can share more
of it with you through e-mail correspondence.
I'm working right now on making my "come back".
As they say, "You can't keep a good man down!"
Again, thanks for your kind comments and
interest.

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, J.D.
Lake Charles, LA, and Naples, Italy
