When I moved to Tucson, there were loaded guns in all parts of the house as well as the truck. This continued for several years until the drug people who had put out the contracts were dead.

Tucson Citizen Correspondence/Editorials
Donald H. Wriston	August 24, 1983	In response to Chuck’s article on the miners’ strike, a personal letter regarding Donald’s fear that “the end is near. The union lost but hopefully we can put back the pieces enough to salvage what little union we have left,” and goes on to say that “It seems to me that you really care. I felt a compassion in you when we met. For this I thank you my friend. And I thank you for letting me sing my song as secretly as possible,” Chuck writes of Donald – “I would sit with Donald in his trailer and at one point he whips a sawed off shotgun out of a cupboard and waves it at me. He was a boilermaker (princes of the craft unions), was against the strike (poor timing) but totally in favor it the union and thus fully supported the strike. He was a very intelligent man fighting a very big alcohol problem. But then many of the miners took thermos of vodka to the pit in order to maintain in the boredom of the work.” “I disguised his identity--Ajo is not big and the union guys are even a smaller pool. Incidentally, after the story, and after I got his kind note, I was back there for a story and suddenly was hassled by a herd of union guys for the way the press was covering the strike. He was standing at the back of this little mob in the street and mouthing the same sentiments as the rest of the men. Basically, the union was losing and so, a reporter such as myself, was distorting the strike, etc. I never acknowledged we knew each other, nor did he. The price of survival in a copper strike.” (in envelope)
