Interlude: Before we continue this narrative I wish to mention
some details I failed to mention. A picture of Meredith and his
wife may be seen in the 1960 Envoy, p. 147, PDF p. 150. The

was only an hour long conversation that was a friendly chat
(AR29 October 1984).

also contained the Boards' response to Meredith's accusations.
AR71 February 1999 covers this event in detail, containing
excerpts from the writings of both Meredith and the Board
concerning this power struggle. Meredith responded with a
