MSG #45

SERIES III	NOTES--NOTEBOOKS	DATES:
.75 (1.5 Boxes)		1979-1982

Series III, Notes--Notebooks, consists of several 8 1/2-11" note pads, as well as many loose notes and memos, used by Dr. Capelotti during the years 1979-1982 for articles, essays, and interviews written in that period. The note pads also contain class notes, and random scribblings. One folder contains several "embargoed for delivery" speeches that were delivered at the 1980 Democratic Convention. These were given to Dr. Capelotti by his employer at that time, Richard Curtis of Curtis Liquors in Whitman, Massachusetts, who worked as a page for ABC News that summer. He got for Capelotti a note done in jest by ABC Correspondent Sam Donaldson, which reads "Good luck to a great novelist." There is also some correspondence from the Earth Research organization and letters from a brief time in the spring of 1980 when Capelotti served as coordinator of a Peace Studies program.
