1991 - Last Will and Testament by Craig Franklin

This is a copy I printed out from a file a Misho missed.  The Will, which is a copy of the signed document, ended up in my graphics files used as a clean back for a project.  I was astonished when I found it - but by then the divorce was long over. 


June 24, 1989 - Second Wedding - Pillsbury-Foster and Franklin


    L - R -       Larry Franklin, Esq., Sterling Franklin, Esq., Craig Franklin, J. Scott Franklin, Arthur Foster, Justin Foster 
                                                                                                                                       CDCR# AD7473 
                                                                                                                                       Housing: A1-138U
                                                                                                                                       Inmate Mailing:
                                                                                                                                       P.O. Box 3030
                                                                                                                                       Susanville, CA 96127-3030 


Scott, Craig's oldest child by his first marriage to  Elaine, is serving a ten year sentence in High Desert Correctional for hiring a hitman to kill his wife.  Scott got the idea from Craig who seriously discussed hiring a hitman to kill Melinda.  Letter from Anne to Melinda 

 


   L - R - Ayn Suzanne Pillsbury,  Dawn Ellen Pillsbury, Morgan Frances Pillsbury

Craig's adoption of all the kids was legal and binding.  He requested Ron cede his rights to him, he named them as his natural heirs, and he presented them as his natural children to everyone we knew.   

And here is the Marriage Certificate signed by Dean Ahmad, who performed the ceremony.



June 19, 1987 - Marriage Certificate - Pillsbury-Foster and Franklin

This was a confidential wedding as we were already living together.  Craig insisted. 




May 22, 1987 - Divorce from Ronald Kellett (Foster)

When Ron and I were divorced we had been living apart for two years.  The divorce was precipitated by Ron's batter of myself and our children.  I called the police, which proved to be  mistake because instead of removing Ron the police took the children.   It was Thanksgiving Day, 1985. 

Ron had been abusive for years.  But this was the last straw.  I told him to leave and immediately took steps to get the children back.  I resolved never to be vulnerable again.  Soon, I had agreed to marry Craig Franklin, who had been asking me for some time.  Craig appeared to be a good person.  Nothing could have been less true. More on the facts in a later post. 






Consent to Adoption by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster - Carolyn Anne Pillsbury's Birth Certificate


Although I feel a touch guilty about Mom and Dad being inflicted with Morgan that is what happened.  And I NEVER adopted her, thank goodness.   Craig, however, did along with the other children so Morgan should turn her attention and avarice in his direction.  Though her half brother is still very wealthy and really owes her a part of the Barteaux estate. 



May 1, 1972 - Marriage of Pillsbury and Kellett

These are the pages from the wedding book which served as the announcement of our intentions.  Below that is the signed certificate.  Marian Replogle was there.  Later I'll add some photos so even Laura Montagu knows the wedding took place.






June 24, 1968 - Divorce Agreement - Barteaux - Pillsbury

This appears to have gone missing for a while.  The link went to the Barteaux site, which I put up much later.  This originally went up in 2009. 



Divorce - Pillsbury v. Barteaux


I had left Richard in January of 1967 because he tried to kill me.  I never saw him again and would not know until 2013, after he had been dead for ten years, he was a psychopath and had died of chronic alcoholism.  This information came through his daughter-in-law, Jillkster Barteaux, who contacted me because she had heard rumors of the first marriage but the Barteauxs had refused to give her the facts.

They never saw the baby or expressed a wish to do so.  Richard paid no support although I knew he did in fact have a large income from his parents, who owned three corporations, Apex, O-Rings, and Barco Aviation.  I was afraid he would hurt my baby if he had visitation.

Sbwhoeop = Sidney Blumenthal Gene Gaudette and Sid work together, you know.


Sid and Gene score one on John Fund by getting the domestic violence document from New Jersey to Lloyd Grove at the Washington Post.  The first incident of domestic violence in Manhattan took place after Morgan left John and began living in the apartment Melinda rented for her in Manhattan.  Unfortunately, John Fund her, moved in, and forced her to travel to his apartment in Jersey City to keep it clean and the frig full of burritos.  


This is the normal part of this chapter of the story.  The rest gets strange, but will now be told at How The NeoCons Stole Freedom.

 Genegaudet:  Fund went to Grove, so we beat him to the punch \par
 Sbwhoeop:  Got it up. Thanks. Very clear copy of documents. \par
 Genegaudet:  We're not bad when we put our minds to it. \par
 Sbwhoeop:  You guys should email the document page to grove: grovel@washpost.com \par
 Sbwhoeop:  Superb work. \par
 Genegaudet:  Thanks.  He got the text edition; I'll attach it as a web page. \par
 Sbwhoeop:  I don't think grove will figure out to click on document so just send the page, I think. \par
 Genegaudet:  Not a bad idea. \par
 Sbwhoeop:  The first edition has already gone to bed so he should get it now. If he misses it, well, he's missed the scoop. \par
 Sbwhoeop:  You guys should also send the document to Romenesko. \par
 Genegaudet:  Does Jeff have his contact info ?  I don't \par
 Sbwhoeop:  medianews@poynter.org\par
 \par
 Genegaudet:  OK \par
 Sbwhoeop:  Let's email tomorrow, see what happens.  \par

here's another idea. if only someone could pick up on
these as fast as i can come up with them and research
them. did you see the full page ad in the times
yesterday in support of people's mojahedin of iraq by
a bi-partisan commission of congressmen? PMOI is a
terrorist group based in eastern iraq financed by
hussein and condemned by amnesty international for
bombings in tehran that killed civilians and storming
the u.n. in 1992 with knives. among the supporters of
the group is ilean ros-lehtinen, who with jeb bush's
assistance, arranged for orlando bosch's pardon. and
tom tancredo's there too. seth waxman, who i think was
clinton's solicitor general, denied PMOI's petition to
be removed from a gov. list of terror groups.

bush is selling the cut on the idea of assymetrical
warfare, which doesn't require massive troop buildups
or manuevers. everything i've read by columnists
opposed to bush is either exploiting nostalgia about
past american wars as a national sacrifice or they're
trying to direct everyone's attention to north korea.
i think the best issue to hit on is that a u.s.
occupation of an arab country, like the one that's
inevitable in iraq, will be a collosal disaster and
that point needs to be exploited more, with parallels
drawn to israel's naivete after the 67 war going into
the west bank.
i'm trying to find ed lempinen's number to propose the
maria suarez story today since i'm not feeling sure
about rolling stone and i think i can pump out a story
by friday.
marcia called me and told me to call grandpa direct
but he's not in the room anymore. is he in rehab now?

Demand Letter to Van Hughes -

Van -

This is a final demand letter and you need to take immediate action.  We
have given you many opportunities to make good on these issues before.

You have until Saturday at 5pm.  That is tomorrow.  You will hand the
money over to Justin.  He will give you a receipt.  He is acting as our
agent.

Here are the amounts owed by you to each of us.

$5,000.00  to Melinda, investment in your corporation.
$6,000 to Justin, repayment of loans.
$10,000  to Gina, investment in your corporation.

Don't bother to try sending the certificates.  We know that your
corporation has been legally dissolved and you were certainly proscribed
from selling stock in that entity.

We don't want to hear about your problems;  We have problems of long
standing of which you were well aware.

Don't presume that this is another thing you can avoid.  We are well
aware of our options and are prepared to exercise them.

Melinda, Gina, and Justin
