Hi Gilda,

First of all, I apologize for my longwinded phone message today. I hope you can forgive me. This is merely a follow-up to the phone message.

I have three things to discuss/ask:

1. Kendall R at BCCSB confirmed yesterday that my interstate home study request has been submitted to Columbus. My social worker contact in KY advised me to talk to you about contacting the Interstate Compact Admin office in both states. I'm not sure if it's called the same thing in Ohio. I hope you know what I'm talking about and have the information. If not, please let me know and I'll be willing to research it for you. The Interstate Compact Admin contact person for KY is Mike Overstreet. The telephone number is 502-564-2147.

2. Bruce H has filed an objection to the ruling of April 20 that placed Carrie in custody of BCCSB. His motion requests that Carrie be returned to custody of her Father. It doesn't mention me at all. Knowing that Carmen has made allegations against Stewart and will continue to do so, I want to know if you have discussed with Bruce the possibility of requesting that Judge Craft place Carrie in my custody. Perhaps the court will feel more comfortable with this? The problem is, how comfortable with Bruce feel since he represents Stewart and must advocate for his best interests?

3. Will you recommend an attorney for me in Butler County (or nearby)? I'm not sure if this is a conflict of interest.

Thank you for your time. I really want to talk to you. Please call when you return from your vacation.

Sincerely,

Jody
