1  Did you also, as a fruit of her repentance, ask her to stop
2  from public speaking?
3  A.  For a time.
4  Q.  So your answer is yes?
5  A.  For a short period of time, yes.
6  Q.  And one of the proofs of repentance was that Cheryl Lindsey
7  should not answer her telephone; isn't that correct?
8  A.  I don't remember saying that.
9  This is 194 we are talking about?
10  Q.  Correct. One of the fruits of repentance put upon Cheryl
11  Lindsey was that she was not to answer her telephone; is that
12  right?
13  A.  I could have said that.
14  Q.  Do you remember testifying in your deposition that you did
15  indeed say that?
16  A.  I may have.
17  Q.  Now, after Cheryl returned from the CHEO convention you
18  confronted her with the fact that you knew Rick Seelhoff had
19  seen her at the CHEO convention in Ohio; isn't that right?
20  A.  Somewhat.
21  Q.  Do you remember talking to Cheryl Lindsey about the fact
22  that you knew that she had seen Rick Seelhoff at the CHEO
23  convention in Ohio?
24  A.  I remember.
25  Q.  And you told her that you had learned this information from

392

1  Gregg Harris; isn't that right?
2  A.  That's right.
3  Q.  And that was the time in which you told Cheryl that she
4  needed to stop from public speaking for some amount of time;
5  isn't that right?
6  A.  I don't remember if that was the time or not, I can't
7  recall.
8  Q.  But you do remember telling her that at some point?
9  A.  At some point I did tell her she should step down from
10  public speaking, yes, I did say that.
11  Q.  That was the same point at which you told her she should
12  stop publishing Gentle Spirit; correct?
13  A.  I thought she should stop publishing Gentle Spirit for a
14  time.
15  Q.  That was communicated to Cheryl Lindsey?
16  A.  I get the times mixed up.
17  I am trying to get my -- Barbara can tell you about me.
18  Q.  My point is less to get a precise date from you than to just
19  get your understanding that that was something that was said to
20  Cheryl Lindsey during this particular time period; correct?
21  A.  Correct.
22  Q.  Your answer is yes?
23  A.Yes.
24  Q.  I want to show you a letter that's already previously been
25  introduced into evidence in this case.
