June email from Bud

He mailed us two pictures, I replied to his email he sent telling
us they were on the way (after we got them).

He wrote back:

"Yeah - the pic I got was like that - not me Also - the pic of dad & Gordon came from Billy Carter's daughter - the same person that told me about the yard sale that larry & Kim had - sold everything out of mom's house including furniture that belonged to me & pictures & dolls from Maggie.  He didn't mention it to me - just sold the shit- put th $ n his pocket & left town - mom always thought it was about a lighter - told Pat - if I hear poor old larry again I'd throw up - I could have done same shit but I guess I'm slow (r maybe respect family)  On a funnier note - sent Helen a copy of mom & her - she said "we don't look anything alike - i knew bernie wasn't my dad - 2 bad they didn't have DNA tests back then - we would have been sole heirs "

Sent Bud a reply:
Hey Bud

It's never dull when Larry's around.

If the credit card trial is still going on you probably should tell them
right up front that Larry sold all your mother's worldly possessions
and pocketed the money and you had no way to retrieve it even
though Mom had a lifetime estate in the house. That should be
interesting.

Did you verify that everything was gone? Honey asked if he'd left
a bed for Darby to sleep on. Oh well, sorry about your furniture.

Crazy.. Can't make shit like that up.

I liked your credit card angle if it's still open. Bud should also call Larry and say she's doing much better and they're letting her come home.

Interesting that Buddy says you would be sole heirs. I understood that he wasn't from Wayne's loins either. Sounds like the Thump family should have gotten it all.

I expect he meant from Mom's dad, Bernie Wiley.
Didn't matter anyway, Mom burned his last testament and]
didn't give Helen Carver anything much. Gave the
Skyline Drive in Theater to her half brother who was
named Paul Berkey until Bernie died. Bernie hated him,
told them not to bring the little red headed bastard around
his place.

Mom and Maggie changed his name to Wiley on the sly
just a little bit before Bernie supposedly shot himself.
So really Mom was the sole heir, she just gave it all
away. Bernie had left it all to Mom and Helen even
though he knew Helen wasn't really his but nobody
knew he'd included her except me and Mom and
maybe Pap, not sure about him though.
