Transcript (by Stephen Dresch) of answering-machine message, call to 517-348-4984 (Linda Caswell, Grayling), 22 January 1992:

I was up snowmobiling in Grayling over the weekend, and ADZ Times had an article that you wrote, on the landfill, for Bob. I work for the garbage company downstate that bought that landfill, also his trucks, and they knew about that job over two years ago. Bob went out and bought new trucks and stuff just so it made it better and didn't look so bad on him when he went to sell the landfill. Everybody knew about it down here, downstate You ought to check into where he bought the new trucks, and the dates and stuff that he bought the trucks. That's the reason why he got the loan and stuff for it too. Just to let you know. Have a nice day, Linda.
