Elizabethtown, Penna.
March 22, 1997
Linden (IV) & Patricia GaLes
1440 $. York Street
Mechanlcsburg, Penna. 17055
Dear Butch & Patty,
Since It is nearly impossible to put you two together in
the same place at the same time, I sm sending this letter in
regards to the conversation 1 had with Patty at your home on
March 21, 1997. I'm sorry I minsed your attorney, Patty, as
we probably could have resolved any differences we might have
had, immediately.
One issue we discussed was who Is in charge of your busines8
affairs, and whose directions should be followed out In the field.
I was informed that Patty owns thc propcrty I hsve been working
on, Butch is the boss, and Patty does the payroll. There has
becn some confusion on my part as to how this worked.
Thcre was :lome discusaion 011 the work 1 perfol'Dled at /112
S. HIKh Street. ~e both agreed thst 1 did a good job for you,
and diucu6sea the comment Butch ~ade to me concerning such, and
the part that Patty didn't think he should have made this comment.
We also dIscussed Scott's work, and both agreed that the quality
of hIS work has improved since I have bccn working With him.
(This may be expiained ~imply by that we nre both prof~o8ionals
and work well together, n9 1 assumed you were alw8Y~ happy with
Scott's performance.)
There was also discussion on the plumbing work 1 performed.
1 was informed that I was compenaoted for this under your payroll.
and you paid for all mnterlalo. When r nsked vou to produce
bills or receipts for nuc~ materials. it wssn't done. We discussed
that all materials were charged ut iager'B, and I disputed this.
During the discussion of hours, payments. etc., the Issue of
my March 15, 1997 time card c~me up. r Questioned why there
were hourn ndded by iomeonB on the b~ck of thu card, refJ~ctinfl
90me kind of payment for plumbing work. I was Informed that
Patty didn't Imow what thiG wan for, I]lId duly noted such on the
card, as plumbing was aub-contract. In addition, I was offered
a photocopy ot thIS cilni, .llld t.1l(!n rtJtu'it~<i :IlICh. fUlully, on
the matter of hours ana work, I was lnforrn~d oy Patty that she
couldn't figure out my time cards os she didn't understand how
Hutch and I were workin~ thlnA', We also discussed how many
hours I worked II week, DOll 1 W1I3 informed that 1 never worked
a 40 hour week.
Page 2
We discussed the matter of the health insurance I was to
be provided, as an incentive to work. After all the discussions,
I was informed that the price of insurance had gone up the first
of the year, which was a factor, and that 1 just hadn't been
put on the insurance as 1 was told. I reminded Patty that I
had offered to pay for the insurance, myself, in full, and she
said that she had forgotten about that, since she was just a
"dumb Pollock", with which 1 totally disagree.
Discussed also was the matter of a permit at 412 S. Ui~h
Street. I had informed Patty that Butch and I had a discussion
on the job on March 19, in reference to having a rough wirin~
inspection performed. I told him I needed the permit number,
he told me Patty had that number snd he would call me with it
later that evening or Thursday morning. I received no phone
calls, and was on site Thursday and Butch never arrived. However,
1 was informed by Patty yesterday that there was ao such permit,
and there are problems obtaining one, .and much addi tional work
may need to be done on site because of one.
there was a small time spent on discussing the problema
I've had working with and for other people over the years. At
the conclusion of this, it was determined that all the instances
mentioned were related in one way or another with the Gates family.
As to the mattcr of the Schnell's, Patty should know, as you
did, Dutch, that 1 made a deciLlion to work for you and tell the
Schnells to obtain someone else to finish their work. At this
point in time, maybe I should regret that choice having been
made.
Another discussion took place on your suing me ior libel
and/or slander, and I informed Patty thst if I lie about anyone,
or put falsc stories in writing, you should sue me and hold me
liable. However, I did state that trying to collect a bili owed
to me is not either one. If someone tells me constantly to trust
them, then cheats me, they are wrong, and the truth will come
out. Discussed was the lenRth of time it will take to collect
sny monies. snd the monies 5pcnt to do snch. Jurot liS the Nerris
situation, in the end, ail costs will be born by tne ones who
are wrong. The difference between you and the Merris' CAse is
the aRe and time factor.
rlnally, there was mention HS to my job status. I assume
1 am still employed, and since 1 am, and there Appears to be
no work, I will be applyinfl for unemployment. I will take along
my "nasty notl~"" to show thoae concerned tl1nt I have been asking
about working, and have beea attempting to contact you to work.
You needn't worry. I have copies of all the notes.
Sincerely yours,
~ -n1.~-u-
