It was Christmas time, folks was feelin’ fine, had no ideas of future power lines. Thoughts fixed on New Year’s, while in Allamakee.
There appeared in print a minor public hint: “Please respond in 30 days, by January five, or local opposition to the project ain’t alive.
Thank you. Merry Christmas.”
