I AM NOT DEAF, DUMB, NOR BLINDED BY OUR FRIENDSHIP.
In my concept, you would only deal with me and what I would be=doing, which would take a year or so, in working on
creating a new town.=C2* When the new town is formed, it would naturally have a school system=which I would want
to be superior. In no way would you have any rela=ionship with the new town or the school.
I will e=plain more fully in my memo on Thursday, but understand that I understand.=/div>

Jeffrey,
I am excited. I think there is p=tential for you to get a large tax deduction and for both of us to have a
=ot of fun while we are doing great work to advance the public school syste= in our country. To put my cards on the
table, I want you to underst=nd I want no profit from this master planned community. I will work =or no compensation,
but reimbursable expenses until it becomes real. =Then, I would hope to have modest compensation from the non-profit
develop=r. The key to be able to build a school from scratch is having the h=ge profits normally made by a master
planned community developer and using=that money to build the capital expenditures in the early years.
By Thursday, I will send you a general outline of what I pr=pose that we consider. In general, the
concept is to use the state I=ws of New Mexico to form a new town on Zorro Ranch. The new town wou=d create a new
school system which will follow the state mandate and get t=e $9,752 per child from the state, but also we could tax its
citizens an a=ditional $5,000 to $10,000 in real estate taxes per house to go to the sch=ol system. Perhaps more
importantly, we probably can enroll the guid=nce of the substantial non-profit educational groups that have been, for
y=ars, outlining better ways to teach. For example, the Bill and Melin=a Gates Foundation invested $4 billion to
document how a child can learn b=st.
The efficiency of building an educational sys=em from the ground up has enormous potential savings.
For example, m= mother, in 1921, moved to Stroud, Oklahoma to teach fourth grade in a sch=ol where my father was a
high school principal, teacher, and football coac=. If they came back to Stroud today, they would find they could
step=into the fourth grade and the high school classes with only a minimal adju=tment. Try to think of any substantial
institution that is basically=the same as it was 100 years ago.

Obviously, the =own does not necessarily require the whole ranch and you should preserve, =or your
enjoyment, those parts that are important to you. I will out=ine what I think needs to be done now in my memorandum
on Thursday.

Jeffrey,
In the early =0s, you showed me enormous friendship and kindness. Since that time,=l
felt a debt to you to somehow compensate for your deep consideration, ho=ever, although we won a great decision in
the Court of Claims and in the S=preme Court, the judgment we got was substantially less than the 10-year c=st of our
fight and, therefore, much of my time was consumed with my own p=oblems.
The purpose of this email is to see if yo= still own all or part of Zorro Ranch. If you do, I
think we should =alk, because there is an opportunity for you to potentially get a great re=ard out of that real estate
which would take very little of your time and =robably none of your capital. If you still have ownership and don l-=3
enjoy it as much as you did watching Zorro on television as a child, ei=her give me a call so we can discuss in detail or ask
me to outline the co=cept in a longer email.
I know you will always re=ain outrageous, brilliant, and quietly kind. I hope your health
is g=od and there is still a sparkle in your eye.
Your=friend, Jerry
