1805 Edmunds Brush, CO 80723 March 19,2000 Division of Motor Vehicles Driver’s License Division To Whom it May Concern: I respectfully submit this letter in behalf of Thomas Andrew Blickhahn. My name is Rebecca E. Loften, and Mr. Blickhahn is my ex-husband. We share joint custody of our eleven-year old son Michael. I would like to request that you grant Mr. Blickhahn’s request for a probationary driver’s license for the following reasons: 1. Tom will not be able to continue in his present job if he is unable to drive to and from work and to sites for real estate appraisals. 2. Tom would have a very difficult time finding another position in Morgan County if he is unable to at least drive to and from his job. 3. Tom pays court ordered child support and is responsible for paying for our son Michael’s insurance coverage. If Tom is not employed, he will be unable to fulfill these financial obligations. 4. Our son Michael is schizophrenic and has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. He currently takes three different medications to control these disorders, as well as synthroid for hypothyroidism. In addition to the medications, he needs periodic blood tests, and he sees a psychologist and a psychiatrist on a regular basis. 5. Michael recently experienced some serious behavioral problems at school. Another relapse of this nature may require rehospitalization at Children’s Hospital in Denver. 6. If Tom cannot work and is unable to maintain his current residence, Michael’s mental well-being could be adversely affected by loss of a secure environment when he visits his father. I realize that Tom’s recent driving problems were of a very serious nature, but I believe that the fines, jail time, and community service have had a profound effect. The loss of any type of driver’s license for the past three months has affected his job and financial situation. I am more than willing to transport Michael to and from his father’s home for visitations so Tom would not have to drive to pick up or bring our son to my home or to take him anywhere unless a medical emergency arose. Please grant his request for a probationary license. Thank you for taking time to listen to and evaluate my reasons for aiding in this request. Sincerely, (signature here on original document) Rebecca E. Loften
