This business that former DR Julie and Lady Joann of Cranford have had info flowing back and forth through the same lawyer has clarified a lot. When Julie sent a long email last April that had info from family gathering she'd never been at, Skip asked her directly if she'd been in touch with my family, and she said she'd have no idea how to even reach them. (of course, that's silly, because they're well-off, but in the phone book). But with the same lawyer involved, and now realizing the lawyer must have a hand in these emails, what was a head-scratcher in 2018 is obvious in 2019.
And as Ive said, it seemed so odd that a weird email from Skip's old pal Jack at City Center on a Thursday May 16, and Lady Joann Macbeth of Cranford NJ who had a May19-22 trip to my parents in Florida planned for a while, just happened to find it of value to show my Mom on May 20. (I'd always thought, all these years, how strange that an email from Jack that supports what Lady Joann Macbeth was trying to accomplish while in Florida happened to be in her hands just a day or so before the trip.)
Even stranger, I do the tax returns involved, and they've never gotten notices for missing information, and can't imagine the dollar numbers I've seen are worth this lawyering chicanery - so maybe it's sport to this lawyer? Or maybe there are more dollar items that don't show up on the return than I'd have imagined but Lady Joann Macbeth knows about.
