[Coco] Diego Barizo

[Jim Cox]

Tom:

If I could be at Diego's hearing I would, but I live in 
Seattle, so I can't make it.  If a letter of reference 
would help, I will provide one.

I wish I knew if he is getting a lawyer and if his friends 
are taking care of his cats and place.  Isn't here a 
CoCoNut in NJ by the name of Charlie Pelosi<sp>  If so, 
does anyone know how to contact him.  Are there any 
CoCoNuts who live near Buffalo NY where Diego is being 
held?
