. . the recently deceased, an extremely stubborn person, was the central coordinator and controlled the contact list. This was liberated along with a bunch of other stuff in a series of raids on the house he was living in before the State and landlord caught on that he was dead and sealed the place.

Bonnie, the new coordinator and holder of the contact info is an ally - and thinking back it was probably only about 25 years anyway.

Years ago I got a phone call from a young woman who wanted to talk about the recently deceased. She had been his girlfriend for awhile. He attracted much younger women and did not treat them at all well. Not at all. She had heard him say so many bad things about me she presumed I was another of his victims.

She and her mother have since become good friends of mine and I have been the communication conduit between her and the Bonnie contingent - they haven't been on speaking terms for some time due to Bonnie's encouraging her to get involved with the deceased in the first place.

Human interrelationships often get rather tangled and need to be sorted out now and then.

Anyway, it's not firm yet but the group may hold its next get together at my place. It's a rather strange intersection of people involved with music, particularly early music, the Mythopoeic Society, the Society for Creative Anachronism, Science fiction, art and animation.
