ADDENDUM: September 16, 2008

Dear Mr. Kershaw:

The case file for what has become known as the Port Austin affair should include the following documents:

The amount of paperwork this Port Austin affair has generated is appropriate for a legally messy proceeding. However, the above documents should produce basic familiarization with the affair. No authority for Norman Scott Edwards' actions is claimed by Edwards beyond what is contained in the listed documents. The four men signed a real estate contract as equals. A Warranty Deed was conveyed to the purchasing entity formed by the four men. Norman Scott Edwards took sole possession of that purchasing entity and sole possession of the properties through withholding the contracted trust instrument that you drafted until it could be filed with only one signature. Although Edwards didn't then realize my presence, I overheard his side of his conversation with you on August 20^th, a telephone call you initiated and on which you waited five or more minutes until Edwards could be summoned. I overheard what then sounded like a conspiracy to harm the other three trustees. And Edwards has harmed the other trustees. Edwards acted upon and implemented what I overheard about filing the trust instrument with only one signature. Unbeknownst to the other three trustees whom he acknowledges had the power to terminate the SEE program (referenced in Point 7 of his "Summary of Event at Port Austin" article), he acted in a manner contrary to the interests of the other three men, and in a manner harmful to their interests throughout September, October, November, and December 2004. For Edwards used his authority as sole trustee to evict Frankford from his residence on trustee property (Dorm #2), and to require of Drieman a day-by day accounting of Drieman's actions for the fifty (50) days prior to the Dissolution Agreement to avoid eviction from Dorm #1. He used his authority as sole trustee to sign an agreement with a coop of which he is the Secretary/Treasurer. And on or about January 4, 2004, he used his authority to move his family and one student (Anna Delong) into the residence of Terry Williams, going even so far as to change the locks of Williams' doors.

I arrived in Port Austin in late July, having come to teach for the SEE program which when revealed was not anything that might remotely be considered an educational program. It was not a mentoring, or apprenticeship program as it had been advertised. It had no substance at all, and nothing was being charged for it. Anna Delong is the only person involved, and she has functioned as an indentured servant to the Edwards family. She and Edwards' son Josh have a relationship of some degree. So when it became time for the fall semester to begin, there were neither the advertised (and in some cases named) students who were supposed to be here, or any program of study for students. The semester was supposed to begin on August 17^th—and at this time, the other three trustees realized that their faith in Edwards had been misplaced. Thus, your telephone call of August 20^th has considerable relevance.

In reviewing notes of what happened prior to when I came, I find a scenario that is extremely ugly. I also find that you have high credibility, and apparently, high integrity. Your assistance would be appreciated, but the damage that has been done by seemingly deliberate misrepresentation is probably not repairable. It is difficult to place future confidence in a person who writes, concerning his sale to me of a residence, "This vagueness was intentional" (paragraph 6, line 2 of Edwards' January 25, 2005 letter). A person possessing the mind of Christ has a differing thought pattern.

Respectfully,

Homer Kizer
