GARRARD, Judge,
concurring.
I concur with the majority that the pre-printed forms entitled "Release of Right of Way" created easements and upon abandonment vested unrestricted fee ownership in the abutting landowners.
As to the handwritten conveyance, I find it unnecessary to determine whether it created an easement, a determinable fee or a fee subject to a right of re-entry.
Appellant presents but one argument in its brief. No separate treatment of the handwritten conveyance is presented, nor any argument that it should be considered differently from the other instruments. Accordingly, pursuant to Indiana Rules of Procedure, Appellate Rule 8.8(A)(7) the question has been waived. Matter of Kesler (1979), 272 Ind. 161, 397 N.E.2d 574, cert. denied 449 U.S. 829, 101 S.Ct. 96, 66 L.Ed.2d 34; State v. Porter Co. Drainage Bd. (1968), 250 Ind. 216, 235 N.E.2d 491.
