Giovanni Vigliotto His March to the Altar Turned Into a Stampede

Volume 51 - No. 33

By Sam Howe In March 1983, the jokes circulating around the Maricopa County Courthouse in Phoenix during an unusual bigamy and fraud case included this one:

Question: What has 210 legs, 105 broken hearts and no money?

Answer: wives.

because he was a record-setting marryin' man. By his own calculations, he wooed, won and wed 105 women. This created some major problems other than the obvious ones of wearing out his wedding suit and the cost of buying anniversary cards. One was that he never divorced any of his wives. Second, as soon as he took a new bride, he ran off and never returned. And third, when he ran off, he took her money and belongings with him.

Equally amazing was the fact that Vigliotto, by the usual criteria, was

hardly a prize catch. He had an oversize nose, puffy lips and a beer belly, and his wardrobe consisted primarily of well-worn blue jeans and tennis shoes. But he was a smooth talker and a good listener, and a surprising number of women found him irresistible.

His victims were single women – spinsters, divorcees or widows. It didn't matter to him, so long as they had money. They were easy prey because they were lonely and he had a knack for comforting them because he was, some said later,

honest, exciting, and compassionate.

But honesty and a sympathetic ear were merely tools, and Vigliotto was highly skilled in using them to pry earthly goods from the vulnerable and unsuspecting. In the end, all it brought him was jail time and an early death.

He did most of his damage over a 20-year span that began in the early 1960s, but his life prior to that remains a mystery, outside of the fact that he was born on April 3,

1929. He told some of the women that he was born in Sicily and, while still a teenager, was captured by German soldiers who forced him to watch as they raped his mother and four sisters. To others, he was a veteran of both the Greek and British armies, a secret agent brought to the United States by the Central Intelligence Agency, a former Mafia don, a wealthy cowboy or a millionaire who owned a big boat. He rarely used the same name more than once.

When he was finally brought to trial, U.S. Marshal William Harrison told reporters, “We've heard he's had more than one hundred twenty aliases. We've confirmed seventeen.” Harrison added that Vigliotto boasted he had wives in eight foreign countries, and often gloated over their naivety. “He liked to write to them, telling them about what sort of pickin's they were,” the marshal said. “It was all a game to him.”

The truth may be that Vigliotto was actually Fred Jiff, born in Louisiana. He was a flea market trader who traveled around the country buying and selling a variety of items. He adopted several aliases as part of his plan to entice women because “Fred Jiff” didn't have as much sex appeal as an exotic Mediterranean or European name.

Jacob and Rebecca

Jacob, age 92, and Rebecca, age 89, living in Miami, are all excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding, and on the way they pass a drugstore. Jacob suggests they go in.

Jacob addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?’

The pharmacist answers, "Yes."

Jacob: "We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?"

Pharmacist: "Of course we do."

wife, Vigliotto told her that he was just working the area but had a permanent residence in some faraway state. After they became acquainted, he'd ask her to invest in one of his enterprises, and if they agreed, he would follow with a wedding proposal. Sometimes, it took only days to implement his strategy; others held out for months. But in the end, most fell for his charm, sincerity and apparent willingness to provide them with a better life.

After the nuptials, Vigliotto convinced the women to sell their own homes so they could buy one together and live happily ever after.

Then he packed all their belongings into a moving van or a truck and drove away, promising to contact them as soon as he reached the destination they had selected. He never called. Soon after that, he was selling their household goods and jewelry at flea markets a long distance away. Some called the authorities; many were too embarrassed to file a complaint and marked it off as one of life's cruel lessons.

Joan Bacarella of Englishtown, New Jersey, was one of his victims.

Vigliotto proposed a day after they met. She was separated from her husband; he urged her to get a divorce so they could marry. She accepted his proposition and it cost her. Her new husband quickly borrowed $1,600 in cash and loaded up

His real name was Frank "Rocky" Fiegel.

He was born in 1868 in Poland and, as a child, immigrated to the United States with his parents, who settled down in a small town in Illinois.

As a young man, Rocky went to sea.

After a 20 year career as a sailor in the Merchant Marines, Fiegel retired.

He was later hired by Wiebusch's Tavern in the city of Chester, Illinois as a ‘Bouncer’ to maintain order in the rowdy bar.

Rocky quickly developed a reputation for always being involved in fighting (and usually winning). As a

$40,000 worth of inventory from the clothing shop she owned, promising quick returns on both. He never arrived at the motel where Bacarella waited with her mother and three children.

Sharon Clark of Angola, Indiana, also fell for his charm. But not right away.

“He was dressed like a rich cowboy, with two big gold bracelets and a chain with gold toothpicks,” she said during an interview conducted by Cable Neuhaus, a writer for People Magazine. She said she didn't like him because he was rude and demeaning, and he insisted that she give him her full attention. But he was persistent. He told Clark he was “a lonely, unhappy man” but that she brought him great pleasure.

On her birthday, he gave her yellow roses taped to a case of beer.

Then he started crying while telling her about his abused childhood.

“He cried and I began to see the softness in him,” Clark said later.

He proposed. She turned him down. Two months later, he talked her into buying a van together, then proposed again. She accepted. Not only his proposal, but also an offer to move to Texas where they would form a partnership and open a chain of antique stores. “ “I married him because I knew I'd

Debris From Fatal Air Crash Goes on Display at Museum - Of several fiery fatal plane crashes in recent years in the Valley CenterPauma area, the most devastating may have been the disaster in which a military jet nearly smashed into the Palomar Observatory, killing all three Air Force officers aboard. For the first time, debris from that crash is being placed on permanent public exhibit at the Valley Center History Museum which has documentation on all major air disasters in the region dating to 1951 when two Navy fighter planes, in separate incidents, exploded and crashed in the heart of Valley Center.

The debris from the Palomar Mountain crash, which occurred in 1957, was donated to the History Museum by Dr. David C. Greb, a longtime practicing physician in Valley Center. Now retired, Dr. Greb was also an Aviation Medical Examiner, a post certified by the FAA. Flying through thick fog, the six-engine B-47 Stratojet plowed into a 6,000-foot peak one quarter mile from what was then the world's biggest telescope.

Over the next few months, he talked a lot. He talked her into marrying him in a hippie-style wedding (she was barefoot) in a wooded area in Tennessee. He talked her into believing he had a dark past, which is why he kept a gun under his pillow. He talked her into weird sexual practices, which she didn't like but accepted because “he said I was a witch and had cast a spell on him.”

He continued talking. He talked Clark's mother into moving to Texas with them and talked her out of her jewelry. He talked a young flea marketer named John Boslett into going to work for him. He also talked Boslett into investing in his venture and said he would run the business while he and his new bride were on vacation. He talked Sharon into selling a house she owned, and talked her into giving him the proceeds by promising her she'd have big houses once they got to Texas, and that they'd travel anywhere she wanted to go.

He also talked her into giving him $11,000 in cash and let him pile an estimated $44,000 in goods into the van he had purchased with her money. But, he said prior to his departure, they wouldn't go to Texas right away. He said he had business in Ohio, and told her to meet him in Detroit. When she arrived at the

The Air Force said the bomber had been on a training flight.

The museum exhibit also includes a list of other air disasters in the area including the crash of two Corsair fighter planes over Valley Center in 1951 in which the pilots were killed; a 2006 incident in which three died in a fiery canyon crash on Mystery Mountain Road south of Old Castle Road and the Blackington Airfield; and a 2020 crash when an experimental plane landed in a back yard on Palomar Vista Road in Valley Center, killing the pilot.

Other incidents in which the pilots survived were a test flight in which the pilot safely ejected over Rancho Guejito (1957), the loss of a Piper which crashed into a canyon in Pauma Valley (2003), damage to a Cessna that plunged into an orange grove in Pauma Valley (2005) and an incident in which landing gear failed and the pilot crashed on Old Castle Road on approach to Blackington Airfield (2007).

You Can Heal Twice as Many Animals - When wildlife like a western gull need lifesaving medical care in San Diego County, they come to San Diego Humane Society. It's the support of our community that gives injured and orphaned wildlife the second chance they deserve. And during our Veterinary Medicine Matching Gift campaign, your gift will be doubled, up to $50,000, by a generous anonymous donor. Friends like you have contributed $22,090 to this important effort. But we need your help to meet our goal by the end of the month.

The western gull with an injured wing was found by a Humane Officer south of Strand Beach in Oceanside and brought him to our Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center. Our Project Wildlife veterinary team immediately triaged the gull, and X-rays identified a fractured right ulna and a BB pellet lodged in his wing. Fortunately, our team was able to perform surgery to remove the pellet and wrap the wing. For 24 days, we provided the gull with regular physical therapy — including low-level light therapy to stimulate the bird’s healing

She was left with eight dollars in cash, a beat-up old car and a tankful of gasoline.

Popeye the Sailor Man Cont. from Page 2

While Clark was mourning her losses, Vigliotto hooked up with Patricia Ann Gardiner, a real estate agent from Mesa, Arizona. They met at a local swap meet; they were married eight days later. During the brief courtship, Vigliotto bragged that he had $49 million in savings.

He also told his new conquest that he owned the Queen Mary, the former ocean liner that had been converted into a hotel and was now docked at Long Beach, California.

It wasn't long before he persuaded Gardiner to sell her home in Mesa and move to California with him.

They set off in two vehicles.

Vigliotto drove the van which carried about $36,000 worth of the cash and valuables she had entrusted to his care; she and her pet poodle followed in her car. They became separated during the long drive to San Diego so she went on alone and arrived at the hotel as

ing to the old sailor’s amazing ‘sea stories.’

Years later, Segar became a cartoonist and developed a comic strip called ‘Thimble Theater.’

He honoured Fiegel by asking if he could model his new comic strip character, ‘Popeye the Sailor Man,’ after him. Naturally Fiegel was flattered and agreed.

She apparently actually looked much like the Olive Oyl character in his comics.

He claimed she even dressed much the same way.

Through the years, Segar kept in touch with Rocky and always helped him with money; giving him a small percentage of what he earned from his ‘Popeye’ illustrations.

Who knew he was a real man?

Oceanside City Council Turns Down proposed Amazon facility

The Oceanside City Council unanimously denied a project last week that proposed to build a more than 142,000-square-foot Amazon distribution center near several residential neighborhoods.

Page 4 •

After a month-long recess, Council came back Aug. 4 for a public hearing to decide the fate of the proposed Amazon Logistics Facility on the eastern end of Ocean Ranch Boulevard in the Ocean Ranch industrial park.

Ryan Childs, project manager of LPC West, the property owner and applicant for the proposed distribution center, explained that Amazon would bring in goods to be delivered to the region from other facilities to the Ocean Ranch location, then fleets of local delivery drivers would then take those goods from the distribution center-right to the homes of nearby customers.

“Amazon found out we had this property and came to us,” Childs said. “Amazon is a good tenant and we didn’t have a tenant in place before that.”

The Planning Commission approved the proposed project in a public hearing on May 17 in a 4-0 vote with three commissioners absent. The City Clerk’s office received three separate appeals of the Planning Commission’s approval of the project. Jeanne Leeper, one of appelants, with the help of other residents, submitted 40 signatures of property owners or tenants within the affected nearby communities against the project.

Both city staff and the applicant attempted to address the issues listed by the appellant groups during Council’s public hearing on the

new variant around here. So I thought I would ask some questions and get some answers straight from the front lines.

Man About Town

From my son, Ken Davis:

I've been working for a husband and wife who moved out from New York at the beginning of summer.

Wonderful people. Both are Emergency Room Doctors who studied medicine at Syracuse University.

They are settled in to their beautiful home and are back to work. He at the VA Hospital ER in La Jolla, she at UCSD ER in La Jolla.

I asked yesterday how work was going and he started shaking his head, "busy, busy, busy this new variant of Covid is getting pretty bad."

This was news to me. I've been seeing on the news it's bad in certain spots across the country but I haven't heard a whole lot about the

1. So, this Delta variant is as bad as they say? Yes. People are getting very sick from it. It's not just the symptoms of a summer cold that some are claiming. Some people do have somewhat mild symptoms but we are getting a lot of seriously ill patients with Covid symptoms like we had in New York when Covid was at its peak .

2. Who is getting it mostly? In almost all cases it is the unvaccinated. I have seen very few "breakthrough" cases where a vaccinated patient has got Covid. In almost all cases the symptoms of a vaccinated patient are mild.

3. So you believe the vaccine works and you would recommend getting it? His demeanor changed at this question. “YES! I would ask you to tell your friends that may be part of the Anti-Vax crowd to please keep an open mind and to please get the vaccine. It is saving lives. I understand there is a lot of information out on the internet that may scare you into not getting the vaccine but I would tell them, in this case to listen to a Doctor with 18 years of Emergency Medicine experience, please get the vaccine. It can literally save your life. All of our seriously ill patients have said they wished they would have taken the vaccine.”

project. One of the biggest issues appellants argued was the project failed to consider the impacts of development in the area.

Area residents were concerned about the potential traffic congestion as well as noise and light pollution that the distribution center would have created. While there are several residential communities in the area next to the industrial park, the Amazon center would have sat directly up a hill just above the St. Cloud community.

The 142,746 square foot building would have included 15 truck terminals, 703 fleet vehicles and 230 parking spaces for employee vehicles. The facility would have hired about 500 employees, including managers, associates and delivery drivers.

Developers told Council and residents they tried to address neighbor concerns by proposing to build the facility at a natural grade with a retaining wall that would have blocked the building from the St. Cloud community.

“The St. Cloud community will not be able to see our building,” Childs said.

Still, residents were not convinced by the project.

After more than two hours of testimony, Councilmember Peter Weiss motioned to grant the appeals and deny the project.

4. What about these damn masks. I hate the things and don't wear them anymore. (For the record, I'm vaccinated) “Unless it is the actual N95 masks, cloth masks and face coverings do very little to protect you from Covid. They only help somewhat in you giving Covid to someone if you’re unvaccinated and symptomatic.”

At this point the good Doctor and I went outside for a couple beers and started to talk about boats and fishing but before we got into that discussion, he said it one more time, "please ask your friends to get vaccinated man."

So there you go. Your body, your choice as far as I'm concerned. I would never shame someone for taking the vaccine or not taking it.

Until we had our discussion I never realized how bad Covid is or was.

He told me some horror stories about the ER in New York he worked in that I won't get into. I was never toO worried about Covid and I got the vaccine so I could potentially not miss out on a surf trip if whatever country we were flying to mandated you had it. Now in hindsight I'm glad I have it.

When an ER doc looks at you, shakes his head and says, "you don't want to get this shit man," I listen.

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM: DO NOT BALLOT HARVEST OR MAIL IN YOUR BALLOT -- The Election Integrity Project tells why the only way to guarantee your ballot is counted is to go to the polls, surrender your mail-in ballot and ask for a new one. They have to give it to you. Vote in person and drop that ballot in the appropriate ballot box. Make sure the ballot you surrender is destroyed.

HERE'S WHY: A mail-in ballot has to be opened by someone.

Once that ballot is opened, it is subject to fraud. It will go through many hands before it is counted.

There are all kinds of reasons as to why that ballot may be duplicated.

No matter how long the polling location line is, they cannot turn you away as long as you were in line when the polls close. Those in line will be allowed to vote. The Election Integrity Project has a video that explains this.

Thank goodness there is a law requiring some polling places so you still have the option to vote in person. Their location just may not be as convenient as in the past.

A polling place will be indicated on the ballot you receive. However, you can go to any polling place as they can print you a new ballot.

Better yet, go to the Registrar of Voters prior to election day, surrender your ballot and ask for a new ballot.

Our state is in our hands.

planned. Then she waited. And waited. Eventually, she realized she'd been taken.

But unlike so many before, Patricia Ann Gardiner wasn't about to let him get away with it.

Neither was Sharon Clark.

Gardiner pressed criminal charges and began tracking him down by scouring the countryside for flea markets where she thought he might appear. Clark also set out hot pursuit of the Lothario they had inadvertently shared, and Giovanni Vigliotto's days as a con man, fraud artist and bigamist were numbered.

Clark contacted Boslett, who was still smarting over his losses, so he readily agreed to help. He hitchhiked from Florida, and the chase began. Among the few possessions she retained from their relationship was a road map Vigliotto used to locate outlets for his ill-gotten merchandise. He had circled several flea market towns from Missouri to Louisiana to Florida. The two hunters scraped together some traveling money, bought a used van, and began the hunt. They figured their quarry would head south because it was warmer there so a multitude of flea markets would be in operation to service the needs of the bargainseeking winter visitors who make annual treks to warmer climes. Clark said they lived like bums, frequently eating bean sandwiches and washing them down with beer while they checked flea markets in Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

They pursued their quarry for about three months until one day in December 1981, when they spotted him working an outdoor market in Panama City, Florida. He was selling Patricia Gardiner's furniture.

Clark's first impulse was to accost Vigliotto and “knock the hell out of him,” but Boslett warned her that he might be armed. So she called authorities while Boslett slashed the tires on Vigliotto's van, which they recognized because it was the same one he drove while leaving them stranded in Indiana. Less than an hour later the cross-country Romeo was under arrest. Days later, he was extradited to Arizona to face charges filed by Gardiner.

Clark and Boslett had won, but at great cost. They were down to their last three dollars, living on popcorn, and were convinced they'd never get any of their money back. They were right about the assumption. None of the money Vigliotto stole from his wives was ever returned to any of them. Marshal Harrison told the media, “We don't know where all the money is. Vigliotto supposedly has a motor home somewhere that's a rolling Fort Knox, but no one has been able to find it.” No one ever did.

His trial began on March 28, 1983,

Page 5 • • August 19, 2021

under a near-circus atmosphere.

Courtroom spectators brought snacks and drinks and laughed aloud at some of the testimony.

Vigliotto became a media celebrity and earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records as “the world's most married but never divorced” man. The jokes about extra wives were repeated so often that they became stale.

Gardiner, the apparent 105th wife, testified for the prosecution. She told the jury about meeting Vigliotto and falling under his spell. “He looked right into my face and eyes,” she said. “I liked that honest trait.” But she also recalled how she lost the $36,000 and how she and her poodle were the only ones to arrive in San Diego at the appointed time and place.

Clark and Bacarella also testified against their former husband.

Bacarella told the jury she realized that “my prince had turned into a frog” after she was left broke and stranded while Vigliotto made off with about $45,000 of her money and merchandise. Clark described her three-month search

Vigliotto denied defrauding any of his wives. He argued that things had been blown way out of proportion, and that he was misunderstood. During one rambling statement, he claimed that “it was always the women who popped the question.” He presented himself as a sort of Walter Mitty, the miserable daydreamer who imagines himself in a variety of heroic roles to escape his less-than-perfect real life in the novel by James Thurber.

And he wondered aloud if he was the only person who ever gave in to such fantasies.

During interviews before and after the trial, he declared that he loved women because they gave him a chance to “escape into a beautiful dream (into) a world of fantasy” where he wasn't short, dumpy and homely. He felt hurt, he said, that some of his wives were now saying bad things about him, and asked, “If they really feel that way, why did they marry me?” He maintained that his manner toward them was simply his normal behavior.

While talking with columnist Tom Fitzpatrick of the New Times, a Phoenix weekly, Vigliotto complained, “They say I mesmerize people. That's just not true. They charge me with adopting a courtly manner to manipulate these women ... I never realized there was any other way to treat a woman than the way I do. Is it wrong for a man to hold open the door for a woman to pass through? Is it wrong to buy them flowers? If the rest of the men in the United States don't treat women that way, then I'm sorry for the women in this country. No wonder so many of them were anxious to marry me.”

In his story, Fitzpatrick said Vigliotto then made fists of both his hands and pounded them against his chest and said, in a rising voice, “I love women! And I think I love them because they bring me out of myself.”

Besides that, he added, “They give me a chance to escape into a beautiful dream ... into a world of fantasy. They take me on a wonderful trip to a wonderful place where everyone is in love ... Does that make me the world's worst human being? ... Must I be persecuted for having fantasies? Am I the only one who has ever had dreams and sought to live them out? ...”

Toward the end of the interview, Vigliotto declared, “I have lived more in my years than the average man would if he lived a hundred lifetimes.”

After the trial started, presiding judge Rufus Coulter asked Vigliotto if he could remember the names of the women he had married. He asked for a pen and spent the lunch recess writing, then submitted a list of 105 names. They were, he said, the women he had married and left in 18 states and nine foreign countries. The last name was Patricia Ann Gardiner.

He also admitted many aliases but couldn't remember most of them.

They were chosen, he said, to fit the role he was playing at the time.

As the trial continued, it became more of a theatrical event than a legal proceeding. Vigliotto's antics irritated Judge Coulter and prosecuting attorney Dave Stoller. And he also alienated Richard Steiner, his own defense lawyer, when he told him the 105 names were just a joke.

Impressed by his endurance and guile, but not swayed by any of it, the jury of eight women and four men took only 24 minutes to find Vigliotto guilty on 28 counts of fraud and six counts of bigamy. He was sentenced to 28 years in prison and fined $336,000. He glared at Judge Coulter and accused him of practicing “hang 'em high justice,” then was escorted back to his jail cell to wait for his trip to the state penitentiary at Florence.

After the trial, Gardiner told reporters that she felt sorry for the other women who had been betrayed. “I don't think they fell for him,” she said. “They found someone who told them what they needed and wanted to hear at that time in their lives.”

But Clark expressed little sympathy for those who had loved and lost. “I figure ninety percent of them deserved it,” she told the magazine writer. “I deserved it, too, because I was so gullible, but I'm different from most women.

Some of them should have gone and done something.”

On April 8, 1983, Giovanni Vigliotto, sometimes known as Nikolai Peruskov, became Inmate Number 047038, a male Caucasian who stood 72 inches tall, weighed 220 pounds and had black hair and hazel eyes.

A little more than five months later, prison officials searched his maximum security cell and removed ten boxes of “miscellaneous legal materials.” Vigliotto claimed they were transcripts from his trial and newspaper clippings pertaining to his case, and said they were necessary for the appeal he planned to file. He sued Maj. Frank Terry, the officer who directed the search, and two prison guards, arguing that the search deprived him of his right to access of the courts, and violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. The defendants argued that the materials were contraband.

They were boxed and put into storage, and Vigliotto was given three days to find a place to keep them or they would be destroyed. The girlfriend of another inmate picked up the boxes and sent them back to a Vigliotto acquaintance in Michigan.

They were later shipped back to Arizona, but Steiner, Vigliotto's public defender, refused to pay the freight costs so the boxes went back into storage and were then lost.

The modern day Casanova represented himself at the hearing because, he said, the court-appointed attorney didn't have his best interests at heart. He wasn't much better at practicing law than he was at finding true love because the district court ruled against him, declaring that “the search did not violate defendant's Eighth Amendment rights.” He then appealed his sentence and again acted as his own attorney. He lost that one, too.

Vigliotto spent eight years in the Arizona prison. During that time, he began writing a book about his life that he hoped would become a television special. A chemical company allegedly offered him one million dollars if he'd endorse a potency drug. Several women proposed marriage; several others formed a group intent on proving his innocence so he could get a new trial.

But nothing came of any of them.

Vigliotto, a diabetic, suffered a debilitating stroke in 1988, and died in the Maricopa County Medical Center on February 3, 1991, following a brain hemorrhage. Patricia O'Connor, a Phoenix private investigator who led a legal effort to free him, was in the room when the life support ventilator was disconnected. “He put up a valiant fight,” she said. “He never, never gave up hope.” She also claimed that poor medical care in prison exacerbated his medical problems. After the stroke, he was confined to a wheelchair and spent the next two years being shuttled between the county hospital and prison.

His death drew front-page stories in

Timely Access to Mental Health Care

I have long been an advocate for expanded access to mental health care as a way to restore lives and to save taxpayer dollars by reducing costs associated with treatment, along with many related societal costs including homelessness and public safety.

This session I have joined Senator Scott Weiner (D – San Francisco) to co-author Senate Bill 221. The bill closes loopholes in current law by ensuring that HMOs and health insurers provide patients with timely follow-up care, avoiding lengthy delays in treatment that often lead to longer recovery times, worse overall outcomes, and even increased mortality rates.

Current regulations fail to provide timely access standards for follow up with caregivers such as social workers or therapists. In a recent survey, 88% of mental health therapists at California’s largest HMO reported that weekly psychotherapy treatment is not available for patients who need it and that over half wait more than 4 weeks for follow-up appointments.

SB 221 passed the Senate with bipartisan support, and received unanimous approval from the Assembly

Health Committee, on which I sit. The bill is supported by a broad coalition of mental health and substance use disorder advocates and providers, including the California Association for Marriage and Family Therapists, the California Catholic Conference, the California State Association of Psychiatrists and the Steinberg Institute.

Delayed access to treatment often leads to worsening conditions, lengthy and more costly care, and often forces patients to rely on expensive emergency room treatment. On the other hand, requiring timely follow-up appointments will lead to shorter courses of treatment, reducing costs and saving taxpayer dollars.

Those struggling with mental illness can turn their lives around. Ensuring needed treatment, including follow-up appointments, will lead to better outcomes for patients, their families, and for California taxpayers.

Assembly Republican Leader Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Pala, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

SANDAG Town-Hall

Over the past month, you’ve probably read or heard me talk about SANDAG’s new transportation plan. SANDAG, which is in charge of allocating the local tax dollars for all major transportation projects in San Diego, will soon be voting on whether to approve a $163 billion project, much of which focuses on Transit and public transportation. I believe it’s extremely important San Diegans know the details of this plan, including the proposed ‘road charge’ which would be a tax for every mile driven in a vehicle within the State of California. The money collected from driven vehicles would then be used to pay for public transportation.

On Tuesday, August 24th at 6pm, I will be holding a virtual town-hall along with the Mayor of Coronado, Richard Bailey and the CEO of the San Diego North Economic Development Council, Erik Bruvold. I encourage everyone to sign up at TaxPerMile.com and learn more about SANDAG’s plan and the future of transportation in San Diego County. We will be taking your questions and talk about future tax measures being proposed.

SANDAG’s “5 Big Bold Moves” is

projected to cost $163 billion of tax-payer dollars, with most of the money going towards public transit. This virtual town-hall will be a great opportunity to learn more and ensure the plan meets the needs of North County and the majority of San Diego commuters.

In the meantime, email me, Jim.Desmond@sdcounty.ca.gov if you have any questions on SANDAG’s plan.

To contact North County Office – by appointment only 325 S. Melrose Ave., Suite 5200 Vista, CA 92081 Mon.-Fri., 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

the local press as well as notices in such major publications as the Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Time Magazine and New York Times. All of them pointed out that he had married 105 women and never divorced any of them.

The supermarket tabloid Weekly World News was much less subtle when it announced his demise with a front page headline that screamed: “Too Much Sex Kills Man With 105 Wives!” The story below quoted an unnamed prison doctor as saying, “If ever a man was killed by too much sex, it was Giovanni. The death certificate may not say so, but this man was destroyed physically and mentally by too many romps in the sack.”

That report could justifiably be viewed with suspicion, however, because the same tabloid also published stories about P'lod, an extraterrestrial who had an affair with Hillary Clinton; a giant mutant hog that terrorized Arkansas; and Bat Boy, a half-bat, half-human superhero.

Although he never finished the book that was to become the basis for a television special, Vigliotto did have a posthumous moment on the tube in 1995 when the series “Tough Target” featured him in an episode entitled “Romeo.” He was portrayed by Dick Gjonola, who also appeared as the original Burger King in commercials from 1980 through 1983.

The author, Sam Lowe, is a free lance writer, has served as a reporter, columnist, editor and publisher during his distinguished career. We are pleased to have him as one of our treasured writers at The Paper.

PROBLEM SOLVED

BY CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT

Q: Frigidaire delivered a new freezer to us two months ago and it hasn't worked since they plugged it in.

There have been three service visits. Frigidaire had to order a new door. A Frigidaire representative said it could take a month or longer for the part to arrive. Meanwhile, we've been buying dry ice every week while we wait to save the food.

Frigidaire has compensated us with a $200 debit card but would not replace the machine, saying we had to give them a chance to fix it first.

A few days ago, the door arrived, but it was damaged. Can you help us? We just want a freezer that works. -- Kerri Nigro, Sacramento, Calif.

A: Your freezer should have worked. If it didn't, Frigidaire should have promptly sent you one that did. Instead, you had to wait weeks -- and hope that one of its technicians could fix it.

This is a common problem for people who buy new appliances. When something goes wrong, the company almost always insists on sending a technician to your home and trying to repair it. That's much less expensive than replacing your freezer. But it's also inconvenient for everyone.

It was nice of Frigidaire to send you a $200 debit card to cover ice and spoiled food, but it doesn't make up for a freezer that doesn't work.

How could Frigidaire do that? It could replace the freezer with one that works.

The warranty on your freezer explains why Frigidaire can keep trying to fix it. Your freezer is guaranteed to be free of materials defects or component malfunctions, according to the warranty. The company "will repair, without charge, any problem that occurs during the first year after the original date of purchase." The warranty doesn't specify how long Frigidaire has to attempt the repairs. Even after three unsuccessful visits by a technician, the company wanted to keep trying. Come on.

I noticed that you first went through the front door at Frigidaire, contacting the company through its website. When you have a problem like this, you'll want to appeal it to someone higher up. I list the names, numbers and email addresses of <a href="https://www.elliott.org/comp a n y contacts/electrolux/">Frigidaire's (Electrolux) executives on my consumer advocacy site</a>, Elliott.org.

And that's what you did. But it looks as if you blasted emails to all of the Electrolux executives without first contacting the managers, who were your first level of appeal.

Historically Speaking

by Tom Morrow

Our local World War II Heroes of Yesteryear

Over the years I’ve written a good deal about our heroes of World War II – local names that never should be forgotten. Most, if not all, are gone but here are a few names I recall from past columns in the old Blade-Citizen: Oceanside's Alex Kapitanski, who was affectionately known by nearly everyone in North San Diego County as "the flag man," earned both a bronze star and silver star for valor in the European ground campaign. Kapitanski was a combat photographer, landing at Normandy and surviving all the way to Germany at the end of the war.

During that terrible last winter of the war in 1944-45, 20-year-old Ed Anderson of Escondido watched as his platoon leader died from enemy fire during the Battle of the Bulge. The only thing more frightening to Anderson other than the bitter cold was the enemy machine gun emplacement that had killed his platoon leader and many of his comrades. He took it upon himself to, as he put it, "silence" the danger with his own .50 caliber Browning Automatic Rifle. Then Anderson proceeded to a second enemy position where his rifle jammed, but he managed to use it as a club to take out the surprised German defenders before they could react.

Anderson received the nation's second highest military honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, for action that saved many of his comrades. He also was awarded the Bronze Star for earlier action.

Oceanside's Nat Bassevitch was a member of the 29th U.S. Army Division on D-day, June 6, 1944, but was captured the next day while serving as a scout in front of the troops. Bassevitch managed to escape his captors only to be captured again the next day by the same German unit.

"Boy, were they mad!" Bassevitch recalled, laughing.

Del Mar's Bill Arballo, who was a 1941 graduate of Oceanside High School, was an Army medic in Italy and earned the coveted Silver Star in combat while attached to the 135th Regiment of the 34th Infantry Division. While his unit was pinned down by an enemy mortar and artillery barrage, Arballo was wounded and unable to walk, yet he crawled to tend to wounded soldiers, refusing to leave until all were cared for. Corporal Arballo was awarded the Silver Star for his "courage and devotion to duty" that inspired his entire com-

pany.

Oceanside's John Martz was another North San Diego County survivor of the “Bulge.” He was a sergeant in the 513th Regiment of the 17th Airborne Division wounded in an artillery barrage, but quickly recovered to rejoin the fighting just days later only to be wounded once more. A fellow soldier captured a German ambulance and took Martz, who was unable to walk, and three other men to the rear for medical treatment.

Retired Marine Sgt. Major Joe Kratcoski of Oceanside was one tough veteran who had a war record of which John Wayne would have been envious. Kratcoski won major battle ribbons in three wars, the first Bronze Star in the South Pacific, a second in Korea, and the Navy Commendation Medal after serving two tours of volunteer duty in Vietnam.

Carlsbad's Jim Maguire joined the Marine Corps in January 1941 and by December 1942 he was a captain piloting a torpedo bomber in the Guadalcanal campaign in the South Pacific. Later in the war he was a night fighter pilot over Guam and Okinawa, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. He was promoted to major in December 1943, and became a career Marine aviator retiring in 1967.

I haven’t forgotten the ladies: Army Lt. Lucille Tubbs of San Diego went to Russia in 1944 as a nurse.

Some 50 years later the Russians gave her a special commemorative medal. Cpl. Marie A. Proulx of Oceanside was a career Woman Marine who served during World War II at El Toro Air Station in Santa Ana. Oceanside's Irene Milbrodt was a U.S. Navy photographic lab technician in Washington, D.C., and later in Hawaii during the war. Dixie Bales, also of Oceanside, was a Navy “Wave” assigned to Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego, where at the same time, her husband, Lou Bales, was seriously wounded while serving in the U.S. Army in Europe.

Carlsbad's Harry Wagner languished in a Japanese prisoner-ofwar camp in China before being rescued.

Oceanside's Dave Zahler was a Bronze Star holder, who fought in the “Battle of the Bulge” and later helped to liberate the infamous Dachau death camp near Munich.

Vista's Bill Miles saw early U.S. Army action in North Africa in the November 1942 debacle at the “Kasserine Pass.” He was in the first invasion of Sicily, then later landed on the bloody beaches of Anzio and on to Monte Cassino.

Historically Speaking, these heroes of World War II may not be with us any longer, but they certainly should never be forgotten.

TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. Very effective for digit removal!!

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut large pieces into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

Also excels at amputations.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of all the crap you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening oldstyle paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans.

Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

PVC PIPE CUTTER: A tool used to make plastic pipe too short.

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent to the object you are trying to hit. Also very effective at fingernail removal.

UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door. Works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. These can also be used to initiate a trip to the emergency room so a doctor can sew up the damage.

TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER

BY CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT

Q: Last year, I booked flights through Expedia on Pacific Coast Airlines, a regional carrier, from Vancouver to Bella Coola, B.C. The airline canceled the flights after the COVID-19 outbreak, and it agreed to refund our airfares.

The airline sent the money to Expedia, and despite repeated efforts, Expedia is unable to refund the money to my credit card. I have a receipt and email confirmation from the airline that they refunded the money to Expedia. Can you help me? -- Eric Holman, Sudbury, Mass.

A: I love British Columbia, and I've always wanted to try heli-skiing in that part of the province. I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip during the pandemic. Fortunately, because Pacific Coast Airlines canceled your flight, you're entitled to a full refund. Both the airline and Expedia agree on that.

Refunds can take time, especially during a once-in-a-generation pandemic. But this doesn't look like a delay. As I review your paper trail - and good job with keeping detailed records on this -- it seems as if Expedia has offered you a refund but then failed to send it.

How do you fix something like this? First, check with your credit card to ensure you didn't receive the money from somewhere else. For example, your airline might refund your tickets directly to your card, bypassing your travel agency.

If that doesn't yield any results, then you have to go back to both the agency and airline to find out who has the money and what they've done with it. By the way, I list the names, numbers and email addresses of <a href="https://www.elliott.org/company-contacts/expedia-customerservice-contacts/">Expedia's executives</a> on my nonprofit consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.

This one is a little complicated. An Expedia representative initially told you that it didn't have your money but that the airline had approved a refund. But when I asked Expedia about your case, it appears the airline only approved a flight credit, which was issued to you. Then, a few months later, the airline approved the refund request and processed the refund.

Expedia suggested that you check with your credit card. But the money wasn't there.

So what happened? Well, it turns out that when you asked your credit card about the refund, it initiated a dispute of the charges. So when the airline tried to return the money, it found that the original purchase had been disputed. That gummed up the works on your refund.

You never want to initiate a chargeback unless you have something to dispute. But after you clarified that you were only asking about the status of your refund, rather than disputing the purchase, the refund appeared in your account.

One local winemaker tapping into the urban market is Coomber Craft Wines, whose quaint and unique Oceanside tasting room has been such a hit that the winery is expanding into downtown Vista.

While the image of rolling hills and winding roads dotted with grape vines and lush greenery come to mind when envisioning the “traditional” winery, more winemakers are bringing their bottles to the streets, so-to-speak, in the form of the urban winery. The winery and tasting room, located at 344 Main Street, is currently under construction, with an expected grand opening by the end of the year. It will also include nightly music on an outdoor covered patio and I look forward to welcoming Coomber to our city.

Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara Greetings Escondido,

Some of you may wonder what concerns the mayor on a daily basis. Well, it changes, maybe not daily but periodically. Now I receive emails daily on different issues, and I am always appreciative of that feedback. And where appropriate I respond or ask the staff to respond. But right now, there are three things that occupy my mind –

Resurgence of COVID - The signs are out there that this new variant is getting stronger. We know the impact COVID has had, and we know that some things work. So, if you haven’t gotten vaccinated, I would encourage you to do so.

Use good common sense, just like we are told during the Flu season – wash hands, minimize contact, etc. We all know the drill. Let’s just comply and not let this next round get out of control.

Homelessness- This is a problem not just for us, but regionally and at the state level. It is complex, has some constraints that hamstring us, but we are not powerless. It will take a community to take this problem on and make in-roads into solving it. There are simple solution and the homeless will not solve it by themselves so don’t believe the snake oil solution. It doesn’t exist. If you want to get involved visit the city’s homeless page and attend the Community Advisory Group Meeting on the 24th.

The Paper

Paul & Nome Van Middlesworth, The Computer Factory www. thecomputerfactory.net

The Internet and social media impact on American culture. Part IV of V

Bias, prejudice, racism, “woke-ism” and the Internet - “Survival, belonging, power, freedom, and fun” these are the top five in the “Hierarchy of Needs” as described by Abraham Maslow renowned American psychologist who developed this hierarchy to explain human motivation.

Notice that EVIL is not on the list.

Our social occupational and political actions and associations are driven by our desire to meet our “Hierarchy of Needs.” When people or organizations pursue these needs in different ways there can be conflicts. It is important to remember that these conflicts are driven by our different approaches to fulfilling basic human needs. Understanding and accommodation of our different approaches make us a civilization. Demonizing those who differ from us make us a

Page 12 • • August 19, 2021

tribe.

Before Interne and social media came to dominance, American’s positive or negative attitudes toward people of different races evolved from personal experience. Work, school, sports and, military service served to create our attitudes (biases.) toward other races and ethnicities. Like most American white men over thirty, I soon learned that skin color was simply not a very good criterion for judging individuals.

White or non-white, there were no universal characteristics associated with skin color that permit or even aid in making predictions concerning individual attitudes or values. It’s human nature to try to predict a person’s attitudes and values from their physical appearance, but experience has taught most of us that skin color just doesn’t work. Hair style, makeup, clothing, jewelry, accent and even body language are more reliable predictors of attitudes and values than race.

Direct personal experience today plays a much smaller role in the establishment of attitudes (biases) for those under thirty. Contemporary teaching theory and the ubiquity of the Internet have combined to create a disturbing new threat to America’s principles of free speech and honest inquiry.

Teachers are a large part of the problem but not because they are Evil, it’s because they’re human.

Teachers are basically average Americans trying to meet their own “hierarchy of needs”. Education majors are grouped with Psych, Drama and Ag majors with average SAT scores in the 1400 to 1500 SAT range. For comparisons sake, Physics,

math and natural science majors score an average of 1600-1700 on their SATs. As with race, individual teachers should never be judged on these group characteristics. Group activities like political are professional identities however; nearly always reflect group characteristic. Teachers work in close knit, self regulating groups primarily designed to meet their hierarchical needs. Simply put, as a group, teacher’s primary interest is in satisfying their own needs, student needs are secondary. Teachers are not unique in this regard. The real reason for any business to offer goods or services is to earn the means for the owner to meet their “hierarchy of needs.” Employees work to earn the means to meet their “hierarchy of needs.” Teachers, plumbers, doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs are simply different occupations with the primary purpose of enabling an individual to fulfill his or her “Hierarchy of needs”

Academic leaders recognized that the history of whites and blacks in America is varied and complex.

Centuries of segregated living created a deep gulf between mainstream America which by now includes 30% of black families and the 70% of black families living in inner city mono-color neighborhoods. The significance differences between mainstream America and inner city America have complex origins and require understanding to explain. The endemic crime and drug tolerance of inner city culture was another difficult problem for academics. The invention of CRT Critical Race Theory nearly forty years ago provided the answer. Extremely simple in

essence, it posited that over the past forty years modern science had been able to uncover and define, for the first time, the root cause of all racial inequity in America. The answer was the conscious persistent and evil effect of an inherent White prejudice throughout history that resulted in the victimization of black people even to this day. Any evidence to the contrary is prima facie racist propaganda. This historic finding blames all White/Black equity issues on the evil of White prejudice. Atonement is the White man’s burden, no matter what the cost.

Critical Race Theory was the magic bullet. It absolved Black folks from any responsibility for their plight, including criminality and incarceration. It removed any obligation for teachers to actually know anything about American race history. The knowledge that all problems came from endemic racism and institutionalized White supremacy was all teachers needed to know. Any event historic or modern could be explained with CRT. Young naïve students who knew nothing about history could now revel in the knowledge that modern science had enabled them to become the very first “woke” generation truly able to comprehend the evil of their parents and previous generations. They could stand proudly in the glorious sunshine of knowledge “Virtue Signaling” to the World by confessing shared guilt with their lily white ancestors.

0 Next week we’ll discuss the role of social media and politicians in the “woke” enlightenment.

Letters to the Editor Cont. from Page 4

and my coworkers are going crazy at my workplace discussing and sharing your cover story topics! LOL is there any reason you omitted Friedrich Gomez' byline on this brilliant cover story? He's the best damned writer you have and judging by your own Letters to the Editor column, Friedrich Gomez is the most loved and admired!

God bless him!

My uncle ran a small-town 'daily' back East and he would've stolen Friedrich right from under you! I'm a new admirer of The Paper because of Mr. Gomez. Many folks talked-him-up, so I picked up The Paper a couple months back. Glad I did.

Kent Warren, family and coworkers, San Diego County.

And yet another Farn . . .

To Lyle E. Davis, Publisher/Owner of The Paper Weekly Magazine. Mr. Davis, thank you for having the courage to print the cover story by Friedrich Gomez exposing Cancel Culture & WOKE as a horrible menace!! We know of a university student who committed suicide due to online bullying. Only Friedrich writes of such news-breaking or amazing historical pieces! Also, you stopped printing his wonderful SoCal pic of him wearing his California Surfer broadbrim straw THAT WE ALL LOVE!!!

Pleeease go back to printing it again, Mr. Davis!! Btw, my English prof complimented you as "A newspaper editor of integrity who prints both proand-con Letters to the Editor. Even the very critical ones!" Mr. Davis, I never thanked you for putting me and my university friends in touch with Friedrich! He spent the weekend with us at the Longboard Surfing Event in Oceanside (Aug. 7 & 8) which was mentioned in Evelyn Madison's "Social Butterfly" column!! We're going to kidnap him often!! And Mr. Davis, thanks for printing a photo of yourself at my request. You're one handsome Norwegian man!

Emailed from Kimberly Hastings, Oceanside, Calif. 92054, a member of your huge millennia fanbase who sup-

port your advertisers, especially Pala!

From the Irish

Lyle, your lad squashed the Cancel Culture to smithereens, and well he should, cause you can have the bloody lot. You gotta be proud of your boy, cause we sure as hell are. If this pernicious anti-American mob ever comes for Friedrich, they'll never claim him or bring him to his knees. We Irish have a saying translated from Gaelic: "Every man is sociable until a cow invades his garden." Friedrich is within our garden.

-From Patrick Flannigan and his big Irish Clan, Oceanside, California.

Enough!

America has had enough!

People are tired of being bullied and told what we can and can't do, say, watch on tv, movies, or what books we’re allowed to enjoy. And if you don't watch your mouth, you'll lose your job, income, with no food to put on the table for your children.

We lost our Freedom of Speech. We lost respect for our flag, and people turn their backs when the national anthem plays at the Olympics!

Cancel Culture and WOKE and social media has us trained, castrated, and branded like cattle. Our new hero is your writer Friedrich Gomez. Ever wonder why? He says out loud what we are now only allowed to (think).

God bless him. And if Cancel Culture or WOKE ever comes to claim him, well it just ain't gonna happen. You take him down and you'll have to take all of us down.

This is America.

Billingsley be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed actions.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 11/16/2021 Time: 11 a. m.

Dept: 504 Address of court: Same as noted above.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in Section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

Collier Case No. 37-2021-00030879 PRPW-CTL SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO 1100 Union Street San Diego, CA. 92101 Central District Probate 3rd Floor To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate or both, of Robert William Collier, aka Robert W. Collier. A petition for probate has been filed by Elizabeth Katharine Collier in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, 1100 Union St., San Diego, Ca., 92101, Central Courthouse - Probate Division. The Petition for Probate requests that Elizabeth Katharine Collier be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed actions.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: September 29, 2021 Time: 1:30 p.m.

Dept: 502 Address of court: Same as noted above.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in Section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor.

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
