“Okay, Brent, let me just break in and say, in the beginning, we got the power of attorney that was signed by Denise using Henry's name, and that was no good. Then we came back and we got a second one with some X's on it, Because we're told that he couldn't write. There were other deficiencies in that one. And now we're up to, this is the fourth one, I think, now.”

“Yeah, this is the fourth one. I forget, the third one had other problems. The fourth one now is they're saying he's totally disabled. Okay? And if that's the case, I mean... I don't understand how he could be signing something, putting an X on it. Did he take a turn for the worse? I don't know. My opinion, I'd rather be sued by them and then have a judge tell me, go ahead and sign this. Okay, sign off on it. Don't drag your feet. I just, you know, it's more confusing than anything else because every time we get one of these, we just slap our hands on our head and go, oh, my God, okay, what…”

“All of a sudden, Randy goes and says something, or I go and I see something. If all of a sudden a long-lost son comes out of the woodwork, okay, we're liable for this money that we dispersed incorrectly. Mm-hmm. Okay, and that's what, you know, I mean, I'm using the super extreme, okay, to show this, but, you know, unfortunately, you know, they've tried to skirt the rules and regulations and, you know, I mean, I'm really at the point where I really think, okay, you know, I mean, I wouldn't be mad if they, you know, got a judge someplace. You know, because we don't know where to go with it.”

“Yeah. Well, what we can do is we can look at Sierra and we can say, Sierra, are you working for Foster and Foster of your own volition? Or do they have you, like, tied to the desk with chains?”

“Okay, yeah, let's jump down to new business, okay? If you remember, we discussed collecting the money from GRS and hiring an attorney. Finding an attorney that would work on something this small was like pulling teeth. So I went to Joe's good friend, Craig Shapiro. Craig said, I'll do it. I said, great. We need to put up a retainer with him. One of the things I want to stop doing is discussing the legal strategy that we might have going forward. on account of the fact that if we do that, we really should be having a shade meeting. But that comes with its own expenses.”

“No, no, no, we can talk about writing the retainer. I need to give him a $5,000 retainer so he can see what's going on and then make an assessment of the best way to attack this. I don't, I mean, maybe writing some letters in K will jog them a little bit. You know, maybe if they see that we have an attorney in K that, you know, that this is his wheelhouse, of what he does for a living and he's going to come after them for not paying this money. Uh, just so you know, I remember Craig Shapiro when his mother brought him home from the hospital when he was a baby and his mother used to sit on the…”

“I just like, well, there was a letter in your packet. I don't know if you all looked at it. There are some suggested changes, okay, that Ron came up with, you know, as to who the letter is titled to or sent to and stuff like that.”

“Okay. And then an old business in case of George Green's overpayments. This is something I want to talk with Craig about. Okay, and some more with Brent and Ron, but I'd like to actually do it with the three of them. Okay, on account of the fact is you have resource center and then there's a question. I had asked Ron to do some investigation as the statute of limitations. Okay, we really need to get that done first, I guess, Brent. I'm just advising you on it right now that we're going to try to do the full investigation. It might require an hour of the other attorney's time. Just for…”
