Just a quick update...I finally got Smokey Bee to answer the other telephone
number that you included in your message...I chewed on the guy's ear for
quite a time...indicated that he had no money, etc...I mentioned your name,
the name of the desk sgt and detective and he finally agreed to try to send
me a partial refund this week and the remainder the first of August.  I
expect to send notice to the ABJ and Gleanings in the future but I am
waiting until I at least see part of my money.  I'd like the entire industry
to be aware of these people and how they deal with their collegues.  thanks
for your help to date.
