The May 9, 1981 newsletter individually names this person among five anti-nuclear protesters held over the weekend after the April 25 demonstration at Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut, where the submarine Corpus Christi was launched. They refused to supply their ages. On Monday they still declined to cooperate, and New London Superior Court Judge Francis Quinn initially imposed fifty days for contempt. After discussion, the five were released on their own recognizance pending trial. The fifty-day term was not fifty days actually served. The source establishes weekend custody but does not print the exact release date; no calendar-relative endpoint or total is invented.
