Re Kavanaugh: Some Former Classmates And I Just Went Through Putting On A 50yr Class Reunion......

One of the hardest things to do in the process was contacting all our former classmates. Many were deceased; many moved out of state and for the women in our class - many married and were no longer identified by their maiden names - but now had married names.

These married women - now having a name changed to their married name - which were the majority of the women in our class - were the hardest to find and contact and it took literally months to track them down and contact them. Some we were never even able to find.

I don't know how the Repugs were able to get a letter from 65 of Kavanaugh's female classmates in such a quick turnaround? Very suspicious!!!!!

Either the Repugs were forewarned about this allegation against Kavanaugh and had months advanced notice to locate them OR this list of 65 women was faked.

as it doesn't address the Kavenaugh accusations directly and that it
it was probably put together ahead of time to forestall any problems
that might come up from his high school days. The fact that they got
65 women to respond so quickly bears this out.

Why not a letter from coworkers in his 20s and 30s or neighbours in his 40s? Why not a letter from his bank or his priest or judges he clerked for?

in order to dun their grads for donations for the rest of their lives. Even so, it’s obvious that letter was prepared weeks or months ago.

The women who signed the letter apparently attended other high schools, so they weren't even "classmates."

Very suspicious, indeed!
