Patrol log lists many short days for Easley

Authorities ask what she did on campus

RALEIGH (AP) - Logs recording Mary Easley's everyday activities showed that the former first lady rarely spent a full day on the college campus where she held a job that she is now fighting to regain, according to a published report.

The newly discovered, time-stamped records, which were kept by a detail of the N.C. Highway Patrol that guarded the Easley family, indicate that Mary Easley was on the N.C. State University campus for an average of about three days a week during the months that she was working full time.

The records also show her doing other things during workdays, such as running errands, getting a haircut or visiting the N.C. Museum of Art, where she was active in fundraising.
