Aloha kakahiaka kakou.

The copy is really bad, can't scan it but luckily it's only one page (I'm
not going to bother centering, etc.).  Norma, my buddy at the Supreme Court,
is back from vacation, so we should be getting some more material on the
case soon.  

Can't help but wonder if The Great Seal of the State of Utah is Lesbian too.
[Sorry, as bad as that joke is, I couldn't pass it up.]
