    Contact: Gloria Allred (323) 653-6530 E-mail: [email protected] We are here today to explain why Demaris Meyer has filed a lawsuit against Morgan Freeman and to provide an opportunity for her to tell the truth about her relationship with Mr. Freeman. On or before July 31, 2008, Ms. Meyer was invited to attend a dinner at Bayou Bend Golf and Country Club between Sumner and Webb Mississippi at the invitation of William Luckett, an attorney, friend and business partner of Mr. Freeman. On August 3, 2008, Ms. Meyer drove to Mr. Luckett’s home in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Shortly before 6:00 p.m., Ms. Meyer rode with Mr. Luckett’s wife to Bayou Bend where they met Mr. Luckett and Mr. Freeman for dinner. At approximately 9 p.m. Ms. Meyer rode back to Mr. Luckett’s home with Mr. Luckett. Mr. Freeman followed in his own vehicle. While at Mr. Luckett’s home Mr. Freeman invited Ms. Meyer to stay for the night at one of three houses at his ranch, indicating that not only would Ms. Meyer have her own bedroom in which to stay she would have her “own house”. With this in mind and because it would be much closer to travel to her place of employment 1 the next morning from Mr. Freeman’s home, she agreed. Mr. Freeman and Ms. Meyer left Mr. Luckett’s home in Ms. Meyers 1997 Nissan Maxima en route to Mr. Freeman’s home in Charleston, Mississippi. Mr. Freeman drove and Ms. Meyer was in the front passenger seat.

  • PANOLA COUNTY GEOLOGY By
    MISSISSIPPI STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WILLIAM CLIFFORD MORSE, Ph.D. Director BULLETIN 81 PANOLA COUNTY GEOLOGY by FRANKLIN EARL VESTAL, M. S. UNIVERSITY, MISSISSIPPI 1956 Please do not destroy this report; rather return it to the Mississippi Geological Survey, University, Mississippi and receive postage refund. FRED CULLEN SMITH 1921 -1954 FRED CULLEN SMITH 1921 -1954 The study of Panola County Geology was begun in 1952 by the late Fred Cullen Smith, a trained geologist and a skilled and brave pilot. His geologic training was mostly under the direction of William Clifford Morse, Professor of Geology at the University of Mississippi and Director of the State Geological Survey. Due to the fact the United States had not entered the conflict of World War II, Fred Smith enlisted first in the Canadian Air Force, transferred to the Royal Air Force, and finally to the U. S. Air Force when the United States became involved. In his acknowledgements, Franklin Earl Vestal, author of the bulletin on Panola County, states that Mr. Smith had com pleted a reconnaissance survey of the county, and was therefore able to give him much useful information concerning locations and leading features of the more important outcrops. Fred Smith's record is distinguished; he was one of the three survivors of the famous Second Eagle Squadron and, after his return to the University of Mississippi, he served his state in the air as the State Geological Survey helicopter pilot and, on the ground, contributed to the study of its geology by working with other members of the staff in several counties—especially, however, in Panola County.
