1969 -- On October 15, 1969 Beatrice Hendricks, a widow, entered into a "Contract of Sale" with Catherine Thomas, a single person. You are correct that Catherine Thomas was to pay to Phoenix Federal $65 per month at 8 1/2% interest to be deposited in the account of Beatrice Hendricks. I can't tell if the balance on the Contract was $5,000 or $5,300, but either way it would have taken about 10 years to pay off. Then in 1981 Beatrice Hendricks deeded the property to Catherine Thomas, presumably as a result of full payment and completion of the Contract of Sale.

1979 -- Michael C. Turpen
Michael C. Turpen attended the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in history in 1972. In 1975 he received his Juris Doctorate Degree from the University of Tulsa, College of Law.
Following law school, Mr. Turpen moved to Muskogee, Oklahoma where he held the positions of Muskogee Police Legal Advisor, Muskogee County District Attorney, Chief Prosecutor and First Assistant District Attorney. He served as Muskogee County District Attorney from 1977 to 1982. In 1982, Mr. Turpen was elected Attorney General for the state of Oklahoma, serving from 1983 to 1987. Since 1987 Mr. Turpen has been a partner in the law firm of Riggs, Abney, Neal, Turpen, Orbison & Lewis in Oklahoma City.
1986 -- Conseco acquired Lincoln Income Life Insurance for $29 per share or $32.3 mil.
Shearson Lehman Brothers advised Lincoln Income Life Insurance. Earlier, in mid 1985, Lincoln had agreed to be acquired by I.C.H. for $31 per share in cash but the merger couldn't be consummated as the Kentucky Department of Insurance raised objections to certain expenses which Lincoln would have incurred in the merger. Lincoln also received a merger proposal from Redgate in 1985.
 
1987 -- Then, in August of 1987 Catherine Thomas pledged this property as an Appearance Bond on behalf of Osborne Thomas, who was arrested for forgery, (kind of ironic). This bond was then released on May 24th, 1993. I'm assuming that since your mother died in 1988, (as I remember) someone finally got around to noticing that this property had never been released, (probably the court clerk).
1988 -- The death of Catherine (Latoure) Thomas occured on October 31, 1988 at her place of residence, 1319 Georgetown or (The East 33 1/3 Feet of Lot 5 Block 122, City of Muskogee).

RE: CONTRACT OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE
BEATRICE HENDRICKS, CATHERINE THOMAS
Dear Mr. Thomas:
In regards to the above mentioned CONTRACT OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE between
BEATRICE HENDRICKS and CATHERINE THOMAS, please note on the contract itself
there is a statement that the payments Ms. Thomas was makeing were to be
deposited into Ms Hendricks savings account.
This is a contract beween two individuals and not the bank. I would suggest you
contact Ms. Hendricks regarding the contract.
I hope this information will be helpful in resolving your questions surrounding
the contract in question.
Enclosed is the copie of the contract and your folders that were sent to use.

Muskogee, Ok 74403
Dear Mr. Thomas:
As promised, the information you gave me has been reviewed by the staff.
However, I regret to tell you that this office will not be able to represent you
in your proposed lawsuit over your MOTHER'S PROPERTY.
Because we have a very small legal staff, we cannot accept all of the
applications we receive. This office is required to consider acceptance of cases
according to the priorities set up by our BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
The highest priority cases must be accepted first. The highest priorities are
the "basic necessities of life" such a shelter, medical care, food, income, and
freedom from physical abuse. The type of assistance you are requesting is not
ordinarily a high priority case so thiss office is unable to assist you other
than giving you the legal advice you have already receivedand the writing of a
letter to the BUYER as you and I discussed this morning.
A copy of that letter is enclosed. This letter merely puts MR. SELF ON "NOTICE"
of your allegations as to your SISTER, KATHY. It does not, however, give anyone
else notice that there is a PROBLEM with the last DEED because as the COUNTY
CLERK'S RECORDS STAND NOW, it appears that your MOTHER SIGNED THE DEED.
Although there are several methods to attack this PROBLEM, you
should consider filing a PROBATE of your MOTHER'S ESTATE. Then, within
that case the issue of the DEED could be addressed. If you and the heirs
pooled your money, then none of you would be struck with the entire attorney
fee. However, you need to consider the cost of such a lawsuit ans whether or
not they outweigh the possible return to each of you.
At this point, you can't even go to SMALL CLAIMS COURT and sue your SISTER for
your "SHARE" of the profit on the sale of the house because before the PROBATE
COURT determines who the HEIRS ARE, you just have the expectancy of becoming an
HEIR. If your MOTHER dies without a WILL, then under OKLAHOMA LAW her surviving
SPOUSE AND CHILDREN would be HEIRS however.
THOMAS LETTER, JUNE 16, 1997 PAGE 2 OF 2
If you have any questions about this decision, please feel free to contact the
MANAGING ATTORNEY, LEOLA SCHUMACHER at (918)-683-5681 or 1-800-725-5681.
If this office can be of any other assistance to you, pleas feal free to
recontact us. I hope this information has been helpful to you.
