A conspiracy at the Census bureau - Robin
by Robert Hedges ©


Robin Gelbach 31/10/1990

On Sunday Oct. 28, 1990 at approximately 11:35 AM Sally Snyder and I walked out on the dock between bldg 63-E and 64-E to eat lunch. There was no one on the dock except Robert Hedges, who was sitting at a table to the left of the dock as you walked out. When we saw Robert we went to a table to the right and sat down on the opposite side to him. We did not speak to Robert or acknowledge him in any way. We had only been sitting there a couple of minutes when Robert walked over, sat down on my side of the table and made a comment to Sally about having his name on the radio. At that time Sally stood up, picked up her lunch, and told Robert that she had heard about him and his radio and didn't want to hear anymore. As she started to move, Robert said "you don't have to move, I will", and went back to his table. Sally sat back down and at that time, Robert looked at her and said " But fortunately it was somebody else's radio and not mine this time". After that nothing more was said.
I feel very uncomfortable and intimidated due to this conversation and the last comment he made sounded very threatening towards Sally.

Robert Hedges responds:

Sunday I presumed to sit at the only occupied table in the dock area, as coworkers often do on break, or at lunch.
Robin and Sally were seated, and Sally was angry. I did not mention any radio at the time, but Sally led off with a salvo of "I'm sick of hearing about your radio".

I "exited right" as they had the table first, and reseated myself in my usual chair and stated "it is not my radio, I do not control it."

There has never been any threat: veiled, implied or expressed between myself and any of these misguided deponents.
