From owner-glb-news@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU Thu Jul 6 00:03:52 1995 Date: Thu, 6 Jul 1995 02:21:28 -0400 From: Dionisio Been wondering "whatever happened to the Henson's?" Well, they've had computer troubles. However, I've been updated, by Brenda, on the events of the past few days: The ruling in the lawsuit came out "today". (Which was July fifth when they left the message on the answering machine.) They won the case, but did not get the sanctions and attorney fees that they'd sought. The Judge did not consider the suit frivolous and dismiss it as they'd have liked. The Hensons are not sure if they desire to pursue that or not, or even if it is possible to do so. (If it's been so long that you've forgotten what the case was about, here's a little refresher: It was a "nuisance" lawsuit filed by the Mississippi for Family Values organization. The aim was to try to force the closure -- and preferably the moving of the owners -- of Camp Sister Spirit.) The Henson's have been threatened because of this lawsuit, and now that it has been won by them, things may get ugly once more. Though Brenda did not mention anything of this nature in her message to me, they would probably welcome a few volunteer "watchers" or trained security persons. The Henson's still need assistance paying their attorney's fees. If you'd like to help them, please send your donations to: Camp Sister Spirit Brenda Henson, Executive Director P.O. Box 12 Ovett, MS 39464 Camp Sister Spirit is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt, non-profit corporation. You can deduct contributions to the fullest extent of the tax code. (It would be wise _not_ to send cash as it might prove too much a temptation to a postal worker bent on causing mischief.) In other news, the "lady" from GL Friendly, April Richards, was still on the loose as of June 25th. And while I'm uncertain if the organization is still in existance, their phone number was (601) 435-2398. (April was a member GL Friendly, an organization that was supposed to help the homosexual community in Mississippi, but she ran of with it's money.) Any leads would be appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ___ "Engage." ___....-----'---`-----....___ ========================================= "Oh, Jean-Luc!
