Er...OK. So she didn't think he had somebody actually physically mess with the plane, she thought he might have simply wished the woman dead, and Nature obliged by bringing it down? Not sure that's any less paranoid (especially since two TMO higher-ups ended up as collateral damage). > Again, read the book. You'll draw your own conclusions and > won't be relying on me for info. Well, you certainly answered my question. (Still not sure what their respective ages had to do with it, though.) When I read the book, I'm hoping I'll find she long ago realized how absurd this concern was, and that it kept her from going public about her affair with MMY only for a relatively short period after it all went down. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Joe" <geezerfreak@> wrote: > > > > > > Not exactly Judy, read the book. > > > > Oh, I will, but I'm puzzled.
