For Augustus McKnight, there's good news and bad news: he's just made a killing, but his wife wants a divorce. Then she's murdered, and McKnight gets her juicy life insurance policy and a whole lot of trouble.
Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
On the basis of previous novels such as The Vulture Fund (1996) and The Inner Sanctum (1997), Frey could be called the Grisham of financial thrillers. Here, he tarnishes that reputation a bit by offering an interesting but implausible story of the mixed-up world of a novice day trader. Augustus McKnight, married to his high-school sweetheart, has noticed that the spark has faded from their relationship. He figures it is due to their financial problems; he is a salesman, and she is a legal secretary. Augustus is obsessed with the financial market, managing a ghost portfolio that triples in value in a short time, and with the encouragement of his laid-back, playboy friend, Vincent, Augustus considers changing occupations. That decision is hastened by the murder of his wife. In his grief, and with a million-dollar life insurance policy in his future, Augustus takes the plunge and signs on with a day-trading group. The husband is always a suspect, of course, so adding to the stress of his newfound livelihood is the constant appearance of homicide detective Dorsey. As Augustus is investigated, he ventures on his own search, finding disturbing connections among his wife, her boss, his motley crew of coworkers, a certain gentleman's club, and his supposed best friend, Vincent. Frey attempts to paint Augustus as a tragic hero, his fatal flaw being his naivete, but it's hard to buy. He is intelligent, strong, insightful, but incredibly blind to his surroundings. Nonetheless, expect demand for this page-turner. Mary Frances Wilkens

A new version of season3.
"We need the money," Justin said. "And I know you said you were taking care of it, but I want to do my part."
Justin waited for Brian to say something. When Brian said nothing, Justin's head dropped and he struggled not to cry.
"I'd never, ever…cheat on you again," Justin proclaimed. He could hardly say the word 'cheat' without feeling like he was going to throw up. "I don't care how many asses or dicks get wiggled in my face. I've always wanted you. I've always loved you, you know that…"
"I know, I know," Brian replied, trying to calm him. "Shhh…"
"I'm sorry, I was being stupid," Justin said. "I'll call up Ted and tell him I can't."
"Justin," Brian sighed, getting his lover to look at him. "I trust you. I just wish you would have talked to me about this first."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry," Brian replied. "It couldn't hurt to have the extra cash. I'm sure money isn't going to be an issue, but if you want to work to help out…who the fuck am I to stop you?"
"You're not mad?"
"No, I'm not mad," Brian told him, a sly smile crossing his face. "You know I'll stand by any decision you make. You're a big boy."
"Then why do you still give me spankings when I'm bad?"
"Cause I like to."
"I love you, Brian."
"Of course you do," Brian laughed. "Doesn't everyone? I thought there was a placard sitting in someone's office: everyone must love Brian Kinney."
"But I love you more than anyone else."
Brian kissed Justin and thought, 'I know you do'. He took his young lover into his arms and squeezed tightly. He was happy he didn't have to proclaim his love to Justin, because finally Justin already knew without him having to say so. Brian smiled. There was also something else he knew. Brian knew that not everyone loved him. Of that he was sure. Just ask Ted.

When is the best time to get a little girls ears pierced?
- 76 Replies
My DD is only a month old but I was wondering what is the best time to get them pierced? I wanted to get them done before she is one years old though. I've had people tell me the first month is the best, others say wait until she is closer to six months. ?_?
I had my older two DD's done as babies, my youngest turned two yesterday and DH will pierce them on the weekend. I like getting them done young.
Nope not my body but most definitely my choice.
Quoting LeilaBeansMom: I will not put a hole in my daughters ears until she can ask for it. Not your body, not your choice.

GREAT decision for my wedding!Reviewed on 11/14/2014 Alexandra
Allison with Flourish Events is AMAZING! We used her for our Wedding Weekend so we knew everything would run smoothly and we were not disappointed. At the rehearsal Friday evening she put our large wedding party and all of our family members at ease as she walked us through... Read More the ceremony. The planned moments at the reception went off without a hitch thanks to her coordination with our venue and other vendors. She even bustled my dress (perfectly)! I HIGHLY recommend Allison and Flourish for any and all event planning needs!
Flourish Events was fantastic!Reviewed on 9/22/2014 Lindi M
Absolutely loved working with Allison McDonald at Flourish Events! She was totally on top of things and thought of all the details that I didn't even know I should think about! From the beginning planning stages to the day-of execution I was confident that she had it all under... Read More control and I could rest easy and not stress about anything. I was amazed by Allison's calm and very helpful demeanor while she works hard to make your dream a reality. She absolutely went above and beyond at my wedding and I can say for certain there was no way we could have done it without her. You won't be disappointed in her amazing work!
Choose Allison!!Reviewed on 6/16/2014 Olivia S
You really should ask for Allison's helping hand. Wedding planning is so stressful and no matter how strong your personal team is, you always need extra help. Allison was beyond awesome for a number of reasons. The obvious - she is organized, asks the right questions, and... Read More gets to know you as a bride. The stuff that makes her the right and only choice (duh!) - she is not pretentious or showy, she works with you and will adjust the contract per your needs, she does not try and upsell you, she has integrity, and she will go beyond what is needed to make sure you are taken care of. Seriously, I couldn't stop saying to people, "Allison is soooo sweet and amazing, she really did NOT need to do that..."
Excellent all aroundReviewed on 10/12/2015
Allison McDonald did a fantastic job coordinating my wedding ceremony. She was organized, efficient, and a pleasure to work with on all accounts. From our initial meeting, to the ceremony rehearsal, to wrapping up the big day, Allison was a true professional. I definitely... Read More recommend her and Flourish Events!
Thank you! I loved working with you all from start to finish!
Allison is super sweet, organized, calm, patient, attentive and awesome! I'm a wedding photographer who has worked with her and I tell all my clients to hire her!
Thank you so much! You are the best!
Worth every penny!Reviewed on 7/28/2015 Mandi M
After spending months planning your wedding down to the tiniest detail, the big day arrives, and you can just enjoy the fruits of your labors, right? That's what I thought—but if it hadn't been for Allison from Flourish Events, I don't think our wedding would have gone nearly as... Read More smoothly. Let me be honest, I thought people were crazy to pay for a day of wedding coordinator. But after several months of stressful wedding planning, I gave in and splurged on Allison. And I am so glad we did. She took care of all the stressful day-of chores and last-minute decisions for us so that we could enjoy the most important day of our lives. Take it from me—if you want to be sure that you can sit back and relax on your wedding day (while still making sure everything is just as you had planned), Allison is the person you need!
Thank you so much, Mandi! I loved working with you and Sean and have great memories of your special day. Best of luck as you begin your life together!
The best coordinator is an invisible one!Reviewed on 6/29/2015
Allison did a great job coordinating our wedding. We opted for a modified wedding weekend coordination package and Allison attended our rehearsal as well as the day-of events. I worked with Allison before the event, forwarding her my contracts and putting together a timeline.... Read More I think the true sign of good coordinating is that I enjoyed a relatively seamless and stress-free wedding day -- if there were problems or hiccups, they were dealt with and I was not alerted. In my mind, this is exactly what a day-of coordinator should be doing. Thanks to Allison, our wedding day was about us -- and not about the logistical maneuvering that made the day work.
Thank you, Alyx! Your wedding was one of the most personal and memorable of my career in this industry. I will always have happy memories of all the details of your day!
I am sitting here with Joe, reminiscing about the perfect day we enjoyed yesterday thanks to you. You were so wonderful. Calm, focused, joyful. I feel so lucky that we had all your tireless help
You made this a beautiful week-end. We had many complements on how smoothly the wedding ran and the attention to details. Thank you!
Thanks to Flourish Events for all their help on my special day!
Thanks Allison, You were fabulous!
What a PHENOMENAL job Flourish did! Allison made the night so much more enjoyable for us!
Very Accommodating Helper!Reviewed on 1/28/2015
Allison was such a pleasure to work with! She was patient, organized, knowledgeable and calm! She was willing to take on just about any wedding related task and help put my day-of bridal anxieties at ease. I would highly recommend Allison for any event planning, wedding or... Read More otherwise.
Weekend PlannerReviewed on 1/13/2015
Allison: I want to send you a huge thank you for seeing to all the details Friday. I saw you so many places and it gave me a real piece of mind that I could enjoy my family and friends and not worry about what else needed to be done. Everything looked just like what we... Read More planned and we couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much for being on top of all the details. Please feel free to use us as a recommendation. You did everything you said you would and gave us the freedom to enjoy some very wonderful moments worry free.
Flourish saved the day!!Reviewed on 8/30/2014 Joshua S
If you are considering having a day-of coordinator, DO IT!!! I waited until a few weeks before the big day, and very thankfully managed to snag FlourishSTL. I planned almost every detail of our wedding myself (although in hindsight I believe Flourish would have been a great... Read More help). A few weeks before the wedding, I was very nervous about our ceremony and the logistics. I knew that I couldn't rely on any member(s) of my family or friends to make the day go smoothly. Even if your friends and family are the very best and calmest in the world, they still do not run weddings for a living!! You need a true professional to run the show and make sure things go smoothly. Allison listened to exactly how I wanted our wedding day to run, and requested detailed information about our planned program. She ran our rehearsal in a very professional manner. (She also served as a buffer between family members and me! That is PRICELESS!!!). The day of our wedding, everything went completely smoothly. Allison coordinated our "first look" with the photographer (making sure the groom didn't get a sneak peak) and told everyone when to walk down the aisle. She arrived at the reception early to make sure every detail was in place (based on the list we had discussed). I always felt that we were in good hands and it was a huge load off my mind. You are the bride: You have been working on this event for the last year, but the day off, you cannot be in charge of the little details. You need a true professional like Allison to handle all of the details so you can have a wonderful day!! Allison is kind, professional, helpful, and an expert at wedding planning. She will listen to your needs and make sure the logistics of your wedding are perfect!!
Allison at Flourish Events was great!Reviewed on 4/11/2014 Jacqueline M
Allison was a great wedding planner and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She was on time and organized. Did a great job getting everyone where they were supposed to be and making sure everything went smoothly. I just hired her as a day-of planner. We met a few weeks... Read More ahead of time and kept in touch until the day of the wedding. She came to the rehearsal and made a nice timeline for me to email to the bridesmaids and groomsman and family ahead of time. Allison was everything you could ask for in a wedding planner.
Marvelous!Reviewed on 3/28/2014 Rick H
Thank you so much! The privilege was all ours! You did a marvelous job…we've heard such wonderful things from our friends and family about the evening. Most importantly, we didn't have to worry about a thing. You just kept it all running so smoothly. Thank you for giving us the... Read More opportunity to enjoy the moment. Though we don't see any more weddings in our future, we look forward to the next event with Flourish!
weekend of coordinatorReviewed on 2/02/2014 Johanna O
Allison was hired early on to assist with the weekend of coordination and was very helpful. I loved not having to sort out the timeline for the weekend and she answered questions throughout the engagement. It was so wonderful having someone else be the point person for that... Read More weekend so I could just enjoy the time with friends and family.
Thank you AllisonReviewed on 2/01/2014 Michael U
I hired Allison at the last minute. Wish I had done it sooner. She dealt with the chaos of my planning beautifully and made the event flow smoothly.
A joy!Reviewed on 2/01/2014 Sarah O
Allison was a joy to work with and made this complex planning so much easier with suggestions, feedback, encouragement and much more. We could not have done this without her and are so very thankful we found her. Several members of the wedding party commented that the rehearsal... Read More was the easiest and best run they had ever seen. Our oft repeated comment within the family was "Ask Alli, she'll know!" On the wedding day, it was a great comfort knowing she was on top of so many things that would have overwhelmed us. It allowed us to simply enjoy the day! She was truly a blessing.
Thank you!Reviewed on 1/31/2014 Kim B
Allison (Flourish) knew exactly what to do and when to do it. With her lists and agenda, she was the perfect "Weekend Of" Coordinator. She was there to double check my work prior to the big day and made sure EVERYBODY that had a part in the wedding extravaganza was where they... Read More were supposed to be and doing what they were supposed to be doing. My husband and I and the Bride and Groom were able to relax and enjoy everything about our special weekend. If you're looking for a Coordinator for a wedding or special event . . . keep Flourish (Allison McDonald) at the top of the list!
Does a Great Job & Easy to Work WithReviewed on 1/30/2014 Shana N
You did such a wonderful job helping with our wedding and coordinating all the little details. The evening was really perfect for us, and we couldn't have done it without your help. It was great working with you and thank you so much!!
May 31 weddingReviewed on 6/10/2013 Freda F
I had the privilege of working with Allison on my daughter's wedding. I wanted to do most of the planning myself, so what I really needed was a "day-of" coordinator so I could enjoy the day. Choosing someone to help you with the most important of days was a little scary but... Read More Allison was recommended to me by a friend & I was not disappointed. She really listened to me to understand our vision of the wedding, offered suggestions as needed & guided me through my unchartered waters of wedding planning. She came to my home a few weeks out to go over everything, organize the timeline, & get all details worked out. She was in contact with me via email & phone calls throughout that last few weeks to make sure I was doing OK. She contacted all of the vendors to make sure everything was set to go & to schedule delivery & set up times. She came back to my home the day before the wedding to pick up most of the supplies for the reception so she could get things set up for us the next day. She brought everything together that day & made it so that I truly was able to relax & enjoy the evening with my family & friends. She stayed to the bitter end to make sure everything was cleaned up. It was a long day for her but she was a delight through it all. I would definitely recommend having a wedding planner help with your day. It is money well spent! My experience with Allison was very positive & I highly recommend her as a wonderful choice of wedding planners.
April 2012 BrideReviewed on 11/01/2012 Brynna M
Hiring Allison was the best decision I made in my wedding planning. I didn't have to worry about a thing the week of my wedding or the day of. She is organized, professional, and not to mention fun! Couldn't have asked for better service!
Whole heartedly recommend Allison!!!Reviewed on 10/10/2012 nanette b
Allison was a treat to work with! She was recommended by a friend and I am so please she was! Allison helped me keep timetables and stay on top of things for a short turn around. We worked on the wedding for 5 1/2 months and she helped me stay on track and meet deadlines for... Read More completing selection of vendors, reception sites, lighting and bands. Not only that but getting a dress purchased and fitted on time, rings, selection of rehearsal dinner venue and getting save the dates and invitations, rehearsal dinner invites out on time. As time got closer to our date, Allison also kept the vendors all on track. Allison was perfect the night of both the rehearsal and wedding night making sure everything was exactly the way I wanted everything so I did not have to worry. Thank goodness she was there! I was able to enjoy my wedding with my new husband and all our guest! The night went smoothly and everything went off without a hitch! Thank you Allison and Flourish Events & Concierge! I would whole heartedly recommend Allison!!!

It was overwhelmingly sad to hear and read about the freak accidental shooting death of 12-year-old Gage Wilkinson, a Dayton Immediate School student and Riverpark Parkway resident. As always, the Dayton community opened their hearts to support Missie and Mike Wilkinson, Gage's parents, Gabrielle, his sister, and the rest of their family at a candlelight vigil. Others sent hundreds of condolences on a Facebook page, remembering Gage as an 'all boy' who enjoyed the outdoors, laughter and life in general.
A tragedy like this is hard to bear. This family and others involved with this shooting will need neighbors' and friends' prayers and loving support in months to come.
The Wilkinson family owns the Roadrunner Café located at Riverview Corners, at the intersections of U.S. 50, Douglas and Gates streets in Dayton.
Susan Wilkinson-Hawkins notes in Dayton Peeps: "The Gage Wilkinson Memory Fund is open for donations at the Wells Fargo Bank - #9253094404."
When I reminisce about Dayton high school days from the mid-1950s, in thought it doesn't seem so long ago, but when reality kicks in, analyzing the 60 years that have passed, I ponder how lifestyles have changed, and also, about how human nature-not necessarily lifestyle-remains similar.
In 1956, the Old Dayton High published a two-page newspaper, the Haymaker Chit Chat. Reading it confirms there's been a major societal attitude change in some behaviors.
An article notes: "We are presenting a raffle to raise money for the prom to be held May 18. The first prize is a 22 automatic rifle ?"
An automatic rifle? Whew. Can you imagine doing that now? But then, students brought rifles in their vehicles so they could hunt after school-they still do in some states.
There were accidental shooting deaths then but to have someone come into a school or other public place with weapons to kill others was unheard of. There have always been people suffering from mental illness, but it's difficult to understand why there are so many mass shootings now. Maybe it's the heinous violence seen on TV that brings out the worst in troubled people. It's an enigma.
Nowadays, students are expelled if they fight, even to defend themselves. At Old DHS in 1956, though, the school news reported: "Two of the Haymakers promising underclassmen, Mike (Bull) Donovan and John (Tiger) Kraus, staged a boxing match after school Tuesday. It was a grudge fight that had been brewing for weeks. No one knows what it was about. The fight was well into the third round when Coach (party pooper) McDonald became aware of it and broke it up.
"The boys were going at it again the next day, but their methods didn't meet with the Dayton Boxing Commission's approval. The boys are friendly again, at least there were no more blows and everything is boring again. Well, boys will be boys!"
I'm sure Mike and John solved the issue bugging them then. I hope so; they've both passed on.
As is known, there has never been a public swimming pool in Dayton except the Carson River, but in 1956, a teacher, Mrs. Hunt, drove the girls to the Carson Hot Springs twice weekly and taught them the Australian Stroke. Not only that, Mrs. Harsen, wife of the advertising manager for the Hot Springs, and former P.E. teacher, was teaching the girls who could swim how to dive and to perfect their stroke.
Modernizing, the school acquired a new Bell and Howe movie projector. Health films provided by the State Health Department in Carson were shown.
"It was necessary to have the sky lights painted in the gym so films could be shown." (I wonder who removed the paint and when.)
Even today, the huge skylights in the building's gymnasium area create problems with too-much sunlight in summer, and allowing chilly air in during winter.

After a campaign funded by gambling winnings, 27-year-old Max Katz was elected to the the municipal council chambers of a Moscow district in the Russian elections.
For those Russians who had hoped that the March 4 presidential election would bring about a real change in Russian politics, spirits were low on March 5. That is, with the exception of Max Katz, who was celebrating his victory as an independent candidate in the Shchukino municipal council elections.
At around 8am on March 5, when Mr Putin's victory seemed to be official, a fatigued and elated Mr Katz, 27, staggered out of the offices of the municipal electoral commission and tweeted: "I'm 90pc positive that I did it."
Most of his friends had long since gone to bed. At around 6pm, an announcer on state TV read the first results of that day's presidential election, confirming the news that many people found difficult to believe, that 64pc of Russians had voted in favour of Vladimir Putin, keeping him in office until 2018.
It was some time after the first demonstrations for fair elections in December that Mr Katz decided to stand as a candidate after reading an appeal by the opposition party Yabloko for candidates for the municipal council elections.
"I want to become mayor in a small Russian town when I am 35, and test my urban development plans," Mr Katz says.
He claims he is not one of the "frustrated city dwellers" and does not want to be labelled by the media as one of the protesters. "I'm actually quite satisfied," he says.
Mr Katz funded his campaign with money he earned playing online poker – he is a Russian champion. His campaign flyers read: "My name is Max Katz. I am 27 years old. The election for the Shchukino municipal council is being held on March 4. This body is completely useless. It possesses no power whatsoever."
"Everyone told me I should make the same promises other politicians were making, that I would vow to punish corrupt politicians, reduce the costs of gas and water, and so on. But I chose to be honest," he says, as he drives his black Opel through the jam-packed backstreets. The district is known as a prosperous, middle-class neighbourhood, full of young people with new apartment complexes surrounded by hordes of cars.
Election day tensions
The polling stations here on March 4 were full of older, well-dressed women with conservative hairstyles, many of whom were former school principals, while the men tended to have serious faces and wear stiff grey suits.
Then there were the 20-year-olds, in jeans and trainers sitting on couches next to fake plastic trees and dusty red curtains, posting their observations on Twitter and Facebook. For many, it was their first time monitoring an election.
By mid-afternoon, there was hardly anyone left who truly believed that Mr Putin would be forced into a second round of elections – not after an election campaign in which images of him flashed across TV screens all day, every day.
That's one of the reasons why Mr Katz decided to run for a seat on the municipal council. "It's the beginning of something new, starting from the ground up," he says.
After the polls closed at 8pm, Max Katz returned to polling station 2997. In addition to the six independent election monitoring officials, all of whom were young, baby-faced Russians, there were now six imposing figures dressed in matching black suits, purporting to be election monitoring officials, but they looked more like nightclub bouncers.
Mr Katz says they tried to provoke him by filming him, making rude hand gestures, and screaming hysterically. He kept his cool, but they did succeed in scaring off the only independent member of the election commission.
Finally, the men in black left the polling station and drove off. "It could very well be that we just kept them from committing electoral fraud," says Mr Katz.
At around 2am, the count of the votes for the presidential candidates was announced, with 52pc going to Mr Putin at this particular polling station.
Vladimir Putin was close to tears that night in front of the Kremlin. "We are victorious," he declared from the stage, thanking the thousands of people fervently chanting his name.
There was no one chanting Max Katz's name. Nevertheless, out of a total of 16 candidates, he received the third-highest number of votes, winning him a seat in the municipal council along with four other members.
He has taken his first step towards becoming a mayor.

Holmby Hills might be the most expensive neighborhood in America, let alone Los Angeles. Bordering tony Beverly Hills, Holmby is home to some of the world's largest and most famous homes. Unlike the neighborhoods of Hollywood Hills and West Hollywood, Holmby Hills offers rare estate lots that over the years have been converted into mega-estates. The best-heeled people on the planet seek out Holmby Hills for its fantastic weather, great lots, incredible access to every part of Los Angeles and the neighborhood's unique mystique.
Some of the most famous homes in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles include the Playboy Mansion, which houses perhaps America's most famous swimming pool in "the grotto." Hugh Hefner throws many large parties where guests park at nearby UCLA and are shuttled over to his mansion for various festivities, including viewing his full on-property zoo, which includes bunnies, monkeys, exotic birds and more. Right down the street from the Playboy mansion is the 50,000-plus-square-foot mansion previously owned by the late Aaron Spelling and his wife Candy, which comes complete with a screening room, as well as a "present-wrapping room." Candy Spelling recently sold the mansion on 4.7 acres to a 22-year-old British heiress for less than the $150,000,000 asking price. Spelling purchased bought one of the most expensive condos ever sold at the newly-built The Century building for $47,000,000. The Century is a condo building in nearby Century City and Spelling's new digs include both of the top floors.
The closest private school to Holmby Hills is Harvard Westlake, which is one of the most exclusive prep schools in Los Angeles. The Brentwood School is not too far to the west in Brentwood near the 405 Freeway and Sunset Boulevard. The University of California Los Angeles - aka UCLA - is a public college, just to the west of Holmby Hills.
Private country clubs near Holmby Hills include the very exclusive Los Angeles Country Club. The fourteenth hole at LACC is where both the Playboy Mansion and the former Spelling Mansion are located. Bel Air Country Club is located just northwest of Holmby Hills. This also very exclusive private club is home to many celebrity members. Both clubs were designed by George Thomas in the 1920s. One hidden gem in Holmby Hills is the Armand Hammer pitch and putt golf course. Located just north of the LACC driving range, this unbelievably expensive plot of real estate hosts a gorgeous park with a small eighteen-hole golf course that is open to the public. Be careful, however: while the $3 greens fee won't break the bank, shanking a wedge into someone's Bugatti driving by might cost you a little more.
Holmby Hills has access to many of the finest amenities in the world, which is why it has a global draw for those looking for an estate in Los Angeles. Five-star hotels abound near Holmby Hills, including the recently renovated Hotel Bel Air, The Beverly Hills Hotel is just a quick shot down Sunset Boulevard to the east. The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, a mere three-minute drive from Holmby Hills, might be the best of a pretty fantastic breed of five-star hotels. Their Rolls Royce limos, afternoon tea service and rooftop pool, loaded with Hollywood agents having "power lunches," are only the beginnings of the appeal of this five-star, five-diamond hotel.
Air travel from Holmby Hills can be done through Los Angeles International Airport for those looking to fly commercially to locations all over the world. For those flying privately, both the Santa Monica Airpark and Van Nuys World Airport are closely located. Santa Monica Airpark is less traveled, but has fewer FBOs and more restrictions to the size, weight and noise coming out of the airport, so "heavy" planes, such as Gulfstream jets, can't fly cross-country departing from Santa Monica. Van Nuys offers more accommodations to larger private planes, including all forms of Gulfstreams, Boeing BBJ, 727s and other large-format aircraft.
Holmby Hills is a neighborhood filled with large estate lots and homes that are priced above $10,000,000. "Little Holmby" is a neighborhood to the west, closer to UCLA, that has more affordably-priced homes. Expect to find properties priced in the many of millions of dollars, but not well into the eight figures that you will see in Holmby Hills.
Jade Mills, one of the top-producing real estate agents in the nation year-in and year-out according to the Wall Street Journal - Real Trendslist, has sold many of the most fantastic homes in Holmby Hills including:594 South Mapleton Dr. $85 Million - 7/14/11
*Indicates Jade's listing
If you are looking to list your property in Holmby Hills and/or if you are looking seriously to buy in Holmby Hills, Jade Mills is here to help you find the perfect home for you and your family.

I was reading the Bertha May Swope section and found an error. It reads she had a son w/ John W Minor, who was AJ Minor(1907)and he married Clara Ethel Vance who was born 1901. Clara Ethel Vance was born in September 17, 1910(w/o doubt). It says Clara's Mother was Fanny. I (believe) her Mothers name was Mary Francis Vance.
Thanks, Michael Douglas Minor(son of AJ Minor Jr.)

Mable 1906 -?
Melba Jo 1909-?
Mary Alice - 1910 -?
Gladys Eva 1912 - 2009
Charles Walker "Dub", Jr. 1916-?
Ira Allen 1918- ?
James Sidney 1922-? Look him up under WW II ace pilots
Nina Jean 1924-present. Last surviving. Sheiks my mother.
Howard Barton "Buster".1927- ? (I heard rumblings that he may have
changed his birth certificate so he could join the military, but Mother says
1927 is correct)
John Edward 1930-2011

Not related but curious! Are you missing the death dates on some of your aunts/uncles?
