Have been trying to respond for a couple of hours, but the=internet died. Just now revived. Miracle.

T=e saga of the funds for taxes is very strange. We have no record of =aving been informed about this, prior to a letter from Deborah a few weeks=ago that I sent on to you. As you pointed out to us, it's a pret=y odd procedure. When we heard about it, we tried to find out whethe= our tax payments had in fact been reduced. To do so we needed infor=ation from the accountant Nick Nichols on taxes due, which we could then c=mpare with taxes we paid. We've been waiting for an answer from =im for almost three weeks. No word. So we have no idea whether=this happened.

I don't know anything about th= gifts to the grandchildren from the marital trust, but I suppose I might =ot have been informed about that.

I don't und=rstand what Harry wants to discuss. I wrote to the three kids in som= detail, several times, explaining the financial circumstances, but never =eally heard anything substantive back.

I guess I =ould write to Harry, telling him that RK informed me that he wants to disc=ss some matters with me, and ask him what matters.

What do you think?

max said that deborah instructed him to s=nd the money directly to treasury, and potentailly=gifts to the grandchildren. . harry said little and only=wanted to repeat , why wont noam sit with him to discuss. I sa=d noam does not think he needs to explain himself to you. =AO it is his money. harry said he was willing to fly to =rizona to sit down so he could hear directly from noam instead of me. <=r clear="all">
