Re: Robert E. Parker CR92-207
- Charlene kept all the bookkeeping and banking ledgers
on the dining room table. She was trained to do
bookkeeping.
- Only Charlene and our CPA knew how much profit was
entered. I only signed the final forms and never asked
any questions. I trusted Charlene and our CPA.
- Charlene was teaching Shan how to set up a ledger for
keeping the records of our business and how the banking
should be done.
- Charlene had a separate ledger to record how much
cash was put in in each safety deposit box and how much
was taken out.
- We had 5 safety deposit boxes.
- The best I can remember there was between $350
[thousand] and $400,000.00 cash in the boxes.
- I kept my collection of gold pieces and uncirculated
silver dollars at the Peoples Bank in Booneville.
- Charlene went to our safety deposit box at the
Security Bank in Corinth, MS, and took out a lot of green
bills in order to put in a large bag of coins I had
collected. The box was packed full of old coins, there
were no green bills in it.
- Charlene had over $25,000 in cash at the house on the
night of June 14, 1992. We had been putting off cashing
our war bonds and putting that with the cash to buy more
CD's. We intended to talk to attorney Donald Franks of
Booneville, MS, to get his advise about making us a will.
- I came home one night after working on the farm and
Shan's boyfriend was in my bed. I told him, Shan, Jo, and
Charlene that "nobody sleeps in my bed ever." I came home
a week later; they had taken my bed apart and threw it in
the back yard.
- Charlene and I discussed her retiring; she decided that she would work four more months. Then I would have the farm house complete and we could then give Jo the regular house and Shan our lake house.
This is a true statement.
