The conference call went better than I could have imagined. It's the difference between night and day, the way it was forty years ago versus yesterday. I was actually treated like an adult. The bankers and attorneys were on their best behavior, faultless manners, and they were eager to be of service. It's partly because they were on the clock, but it was astonishing how much information got crammed into thirty minutes. AND I could understand most of it, at the same time I did not feel that they were talking down to me. There was even a timeline given that explained how probate and everything are going to take a long time, "everything" meaning the IRS for the most part. It was all laid out and open to questions and comments. I'm still taking it all in. But in a good way.
