European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 9, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse A of a i a of m Ann Landers dear Ann Landers this is in response to a a Vancouver who was grateful that her divorced parents did no to bad Mouth each other in front of the kids. I generally agree with that philosophy but there Are circumstances where one must fight Back. My sex wife not Only lied to our children about my support payments but also wrote to my commanding officer and had her attorney write too. Here is what i did. 1. I showed those letters to my children and i also showed them the cancelled checks proving what she had written were lies. 2. I sued that lawyer for libel and slander and i won. The settlement was modest but the personal satisfaction was tremendous. 3. Since my sex wife had told All our Mutual friends that i was always behind with the support checks i photo stated the letters i had written to my commanding officer along with the cancelled checks and i sent these to every person i could think of who knew my a wife. 4. I also sent photocopies to the local county bar ethics committee and her attorney was censured. 5. My sex wife owed Money to a great Many people. When the House we owned jointly went on Sale i tipped off All her creditors As to where the settlement hearing was to be held and they All showed up with liens on her share of the House. The Bottom line is that my sex wife now has no Friday August 9, 1991 the stars and Stripe today s crossword Page 19 dear Abby dear Abby you told a woman that if reconciliation with her estranged son is not successful she and her husband can leave their Money to their favorite Charity or to their local animal shelter. A few years ago i might have said the same thing. But my drive to work takes me through the streets of downtown los Angeles where hundreds of men women and children live scrounge through trash cans for garbage to eat and warm themselves by bonfires they Light in the Street at night. In be seen grown men using the streets for a Public restroom. Given the awesome task of helping such people it grieves me to think of people with Money to give away donating it to animals. The number of children without food people without jobs and families without Homes is growing daily and it appears that the government Ispa to going to do much about it at the moment. 1 female executive dear executive must one make a Choice i would Hope the human heart would be big enough to provide ample food and shelter for All gods living creatures. But in a country As wealthy As ours for people to be scrounging in trash friends and no Money and our children want nothing to do with her. The Alimony and support payments Are Over. I have a wonderful second wife and a terrific career and All the friends my first wife and i shared Are still my friends. I paid almost $300,000 in Alimony support and tuition and was never so much As a Day late even when i was in Korea Honduras and saudi Arabia.
