I received the follwing e-mail last month from Monica Maduro:
"I also happen to have worked a bit on the galleon project, La Contessa, with which you might be familiar... It was a design by Simon Cheffins and Greg Jones and we're now working on a lawsuit against the guy who, without warning, burnt it to the ground.
I understand that you've been a sort of "wedding coordinator" for the desert. Here's the thing: we're now in a phase of the suit in which we need as many people who had direct relationships with the galleon to help us by signing on as official supporters. These people could be art experts who can help us counter the claim that the project was a "pile of junk," or it can be people who just had an incredible personal experience on the ship. I've heard so many rumors that people got engaged or married on La Contessa. Do you know any of these people? Would you or any of those people be willing to sign on as our "witnesses?" It may mean nothing more than a name on a very long list, but there's an outside chance you'd be deposed at some point.
It would also definitely be helpful if you posted a note looking for a response from anyone who got either engaged or married on the galleon. I'd love to get in touch and confirm people this week if possible. Also here are two ways to post personal stories, which are very helpful to our case:
To be a "member" on facebook:
www.facebook.com/group.php
And to be "friend"
www.facebook.com/pages/Fri...6913417858
Would be terrific of you to ask your pals to do both and then add any stories they feel like sharing. Thanks so much!
Any connections you have would be so appreciated. We're filing in federal courts, which means that if we win this, it will set an important precedent for artists all over the country who deserve better than to have their projects destroyed. Let me know your thoughts, and thanks!"
So, if you want to help out....also, please cross post to other lists. Thanks!
