[sac-board] Re: Pierre's estate

Here is Fabienne's email in response to my query:


Dear Jack:  
We (our family) had decided that if anyone claimed, with proper support, any 
deposit for work that Pierre-Yves had contracted to, we would gladly refund the 
deposit. We received several claims from some of his customers, and my father 
sent out checks to cover their deposits. We have not heard from anyone for at 
least a year now. If that is the case with the two blanks, we would still honor 
any deposit placed for their purchase and work that Pierre-Yves was to perform. 
I have Pierre-Yves' account books and from what I recall nothing was left 
outstanding, but I may be wrong. I think at this point, if there is someone who 
is claiming them, although you are saying no one is, please refer them to me 
and I will handle the details from here. As you say, what we gave you that 
night was for the use by SAC in any way you saw fit with respect to Pierre-Yves 
memory.  
With respect to the $5000, Sam is correct about the scholarship fund being 
separate and in Pierre-Yves' name. I believe the letter to Sam from my father 
specified that. I recently received a letter from him stating that the fund had 
not been established and that your accountant had been ill and not able to 
handle it. Again, I may be incorrect in the details here. I am traveling and do 
not have access to the letter from Sam. If there is anything I can do to 
expedite this matter, please let me know. It would be an honor for our family 
to know that scholarships are awarded to students for study or research in 
astronomy. Father gave Sam the responsibility to see that the details were 
handled properly for that.  
Hope we can work together on these issues and resolve any discrepancies or 
issues that may arise.  
I will contact Sam as soon as I am back in CT, unless you prefer me not to do 
so.  
Thanks, Fabienne
