Heading: Parking Ticket Episode.

Text: Automobiles registered in the name of Doris Shea, your wife, accumulated 60 parking tickets over a period of approximately a year and a half from June of 1976 throughout 1977. These tickets remain unpaid and Doris Shea was charged in the City Court of the City of Missoula with the violations. Doris Shea has reportedly denied that she committed the violations. It further appears from the investigative report that you were seen parking one of the ticketed vehicles on one or more occasions but have never accepted responsibility for any of the violations. While Doris Shea may have constitutional grounds for refusing to pay the parking tickets, your failure to acknowledge responsibility for the charges against your wife, and your failure to observe the parking meter ordinance may constitute a violation of Canon 4 that warrants disciplinary action.
