summary
I can either do it for you or not. if i do it it means finding hiring organizeing, structuring reviewing re
negotiating, bring in my team under my control not brads. . stop -gap accounting - my people getting the
books software and procedure in shape. setting up the various brokerage and bank accounts and rationalizing
them, organizing Melanie, TPS , house, and all the intra family notes outstanding, overseeing the phaidon
mess.maybe sale re do some of estate given the new circumstances. etc. I 've responded to every brad question
, given him first lessons , not a good use of my time or his. he should administrate, follow up, have signing
authority instead of eileen, ( AFTER rationalized accounts ). holding a position of trust. ONLY
talk whenever you like, NO STRESS , Mort had a skiing accident and sultan not fully comp es mentes. no
stress please for either of us . both of our reserves which are not insubstantial , can use a break

is only one question out of hundreds that need to be answered. hundreds. . you asked that i not behave like
Zeus and try to explain why I want need certain things. since i said to placate Brad's inquisitive ness and his
desire to learn I said a filing might be required. instead of merely getting me the answer. he has talked to
