WE WERE UPSET AND FRUSTRATED AFTER RECEIVING THIS LETTER FROM CATHERS FIRST ATTORNEY. WE TRIED TO APPEASE THEM ; AFTER THEIR 1989 SURVEY THEY KNEW WHERE THE BOUNDARY WAS, YET THEY CONTINUED TO CUT OUR GRASS. AFTER MY 2003 SURVEY THEY STOPPED, SO I STARTED TO CUT IT, WHICH UPSET THEM. AFTER A TALK WITH THEM.....I TOLD THEM THE ONLY REASON I STARTED CUTTING IT WAS BECAUSE YOU STOPPED.....THAT I HAD PLENTY OF GRASS TO CUT .......THAT WE WERE TRYING TO ELIMINATE GRASS BY MAKING FLOWER BEDS..... THAT IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO CUT MY GRASS, YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION . THAT SEEMED TO MAKE THEM HAPPY.
WHAT IS THIS LETTER SAYING? REMOVE ASPHALT? WHERE? PLANT GRASS? WE DIDN'T
REMOVE ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS GRASS. WE FELT WE HAD TO ANSWER THIS LEGALLY. WE WERE GIVEN THE NAMES OF TWO GOOD ATTORNEYS AND I PICKED THE ONE CLOSEST, IN ROSTRAVER TOWNSHIP , AND GAVE HIM A CALL.
I TALKED TO HIM FOR AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR TELLING HIM THE SITUATION AND HISTORY, AND READING FOUR PAGES OF THE HISTORY THAT I HAD WRITTEN. HE MADE A COUPLE FUNNY COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT HE WOULD HAVE DONE, AND AFTER LISTENING PATIENTLY HE SAID '' I'M GETTING TO OLD FOR THIS, I KNOW [ THE CATHERS FIRST ATTORNEY] I THINK IF YOU GIVE HIM A CALL, TELL HIM I TOLD YOU TO CALL, TELL HIM WHAT YOU TOLD ME, I THINK YOUR PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY".
SO I DID AND HE ALSO LISTENED PATIENTLY , BUT, FINALLY HE SAID " YOU KNOW I DO REPRESENT THE CATHERS" . AND FROM WHAT I RECALL THAT'S HOW IT ENDED.
THAT'S THE LAST I HEARD FROM THE CATHERS FIRST ATTORNEY, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT AT THE TIME. SO, THINKING, THE FIRST ATTORNEY I TALK TO THINKS THIS IS FOOLISH MAYBE I SHOULD CALL THE OTHER NAME GIVEN TO ME. SO, I DO, AND GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY TO TELL THE SAD STORY AGAIN.
