Brian calls before I can get myself together and call him back.
He is waiting for the Communications Office of TUSD to call him back because as a reporter he has to go through that “channel”.
June 23rd, 2006:
Another call from Brian. Gee - someone calling ME to follow up, go figure…..
Brian met with TUSD and City Parks&Rec simultaneously and….wait for it…..the gate IS supposed to be unlocked.
Apparently there was a “misunderstanding” in the Custodial staff which resulted in these unauthorized gate lockings. They said there had been some “turnover” in that area.
Just like big government! It’s never the leader, it’s the follower. Abu Ghraib was the result of some crazy individuals, the military leaders had no idea……..right!………
The bad news: he says they will still be there to take a picture on Sunday.
But later that day: I get a call from the photographer who apologizes for the fact that actual news has come up and they won’t be able to do the photo op. I silently praise any number of gods and realize that, after some seven months, this problem might actually be resolved!
