How was this case settled? Were all of those squaters tossed off the land "lock, stock, and barrel"? My Meredith Minton and others had been on that land for some 35 years before the ownership became an issue. Seems a little ruthless to toss a guy off after that much time had elapsed. What do you think? Lomane Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
