Hello:
In a recent e-mail you advised me that you have forwarded my e-mails on to
Lois Bryant, Director of the Trade Practices Division.
How can I find out what is going on with this issue. You said, I can tell
you at this point that Mr. Bass did indicate "yes" to the felony
question both on his L6 application of 1983 and his L5 application of 1989,
although there is no copy of a probation officers report.
Awaiting your reply.

I have forwarded your e-mails on to Lois Bryant, Director of the Trade
Practices Division. I can tell you at this point that Mr. Bass did indicate
"yes" to the felony question both on his L6 application of 1983 and his L5
application of 1989, although there is no copy of a probation officers
report. (Mr. Bass himself reports the Florida incident as having taken place
in 1979 and being a conviction for Aggravated Assault with a sentence of 5
yrs. probation to be served in Connecticut, but he does not mention the
"multiple felonies", Missouri, or the 10 yr. "hippie" period.  I'm assuming
the 13 yr. old knifing was disposed of a juvenile, and therefore not public
record.)

What will happen now will be up to the Trade Practice Division, the Legal
Staff, and possibly the Electrical Board.  They'd probably stipulate to a
civil
penalty were it to be even pursued.  I suppose much will depend on the true
nature of Mr. Bass' criminal record. Regardless, Mr. Bass is entitled to due
process in an matter which may come before the Board.

I think you did the right thing in reporting the incident, because - Hey,
you never know. Just about all of the facts sound right, but they are also
public
information.    If Trade Practice runs his record, we should find out easily
enough.

Howard:
I do not know this to be fact or fiction. I found this on a Christian web
site. This was a testimony from R.L. Bass and posted to this site. I found
it weird that he included his license number at the bottom. I just do not
feel right knowing that a man can own an alarm company in CT after reading
this.  Like I said I do not know if it is true or not BUT I think someone
should do a little background check on this individual. He is bragging about
have keys to peoples houses etc.  I have included what I found below for you
to read.  Thanks for all your help  in this matter. This is the way I found
it:

(This is an email I recently received... intact as received on 05/28/97.)

Hi Ron,

I thought you might be interested to know that one of your competitors,
Robert L Bass (me) of Bass Home Electronics, is also a born again Christian.
I saw your
post in the news group and decided to visit your site to see what you sell.
Actually, I was intending to check your prices since a prospective client
Had told me you
charge less than I do on a couple of items. I wondered about  the reason
your company's name is "Alpha & Omega," since it is one of the names of God.
Boy was I happy to find out! I read your testimony and was glad to hear of
the change Jesus has made in your life. I, too, have had a drastic
turn-around in my life after meeting Jesus Christ.

In brief, I grew up in a loving home with good, honest parents. But I was
always the rebel. I fought constantly with my brothers and sisters, the kids
in school and
most of all with any form of authority. By the end of seventh grade my
parents could no longer control me. They sent me to a private school for
troubled youth in New Hampshire. It cost all they had to try to help me.
Soon I got into a fight and stabbed a classmate. I was 13 years old then. I
spent the next four and a half years
locked up, all the while building a rage inside me against everyone around
me. At age 17 I was released and came home to live with my family. In a few
months I dropped out of the school my parents had enrolled me in, moved to
Grenwich Village in New York City and joined the "hippy" scene. That was
1969. I spent the next 10 years on drugs, wandering around the country, in
and out of jails on many felony charges. I wrecked several cars, destroyed
the lives of
anyone who tried to help me and caused the death of an innocent woman in a
car wreck in Missouri. Still I had no clue how to change my life.

In Florida my road to destruction finally came to the brink. Convicted of
multiple felonies and facing many years in prison, I was about to go right
down the drain
forever. With the "winning" personality I had developed, I got in some
fights in the jail as I awaited the sentence. I was charged as a "Habitual
Felon" and faced 35 years to life. It was finally over...

And then God did a miracle. He sent a man into the jail all the way up to
The solitary block where I was being kept due to fighting. This man brought
the
message that someone still cared about me. That there is a God and that He
really loves me -- just as I am. That night I got down and prayed an honest
prayer of
repentance for the First time in my life. I asked Jesus Christ to come into
my life and to enable me to deal with the terrible prison sentence I was
expecting. I didn't
dare dream of ever being set free. I was certain I would not live 35 years
in the Florida prison system. Too many other convicts hated me and wanted to
see
me dead. But God had a plan for my life. A glorious plan of redemption,
freedom and joy in the Holy Spirit! Three months later the judge allowed me
to go to a
Christian drug treatment facility in Hartford, CT. There I spent nearly two
years, first as a student in the program and later as a volunteer staff
member helping others
learn to follow Jesus as I had. Well it's been 18 years since I was set free
from prison and 18 years since I was set free from the bonds of death and
destruction
that I had wrapped around my life. God has never failed me. Jesus has given
me two wonderful children and a lovely wife. In fact, both of my boys have
been called
into missions. Praise God!


And just to show the world that Jesus can and does really change lives
completely... He has given me a burglar alarm business. I was a thief and a
con man. But Jesus has enabled me to protect the homes, lives and businesses
of over a thousand people in Connecticut. And now He is helping me build a
national security business over the Internet. Sometimes I think God really
has a great sense of humor, too. You see, some of the people whose homes I
protect are judges,
police officers and attorneys. Several good friends of mine are state police
officers. Even a federal judge has entrusted me with his safety. I have key
safes with about 300 keys to homes and businesses and God knows he had made
me into a man who wouldn't even think of abusing that trust. Isn't He
wonderful?

I will encourage you to never stop seeking Him. Keep sharing your testimony
with anyone who will listen, my friend. And as God gives you opportunities
to speak for His glory, you go right on and obey Him.
In His Service,
R L Bass
