\u00b7<\/span><\/p>\n Editor’s note<\/em>: \u00a0Since posting this, I have corresponded with the writer, Ella.

The resident declined. I will take the matter further and, if given permission by Ella and her associates, will reveal more. Suffice it to say, for now, that I have verified the accuracy of her claim—to my satisfaction, at least. \u00a0(See my earlier comment, at the bottom of this posting.)<\/p>\n \u00b7<\/span> Need some cash, anyone?
