This is very weird or else I'm overlooking something. When I go here and search for Franzen, I get zippo on Patricia

Like I said, I don't know much about this sort of thing. And the main reason that I'm bringing this stuff up, is the dementia thing, if some of these were real estate deals she was "handling", then she obviously didn't have any dementia going on then.
Does anyone know on these forms, does the R mean Realtor? I don't know what the R & E stand for, anyone out there in real estate?
