Also what does B.W.R.B stand for? None of the definitions I found makes sense. Any idea please?Thank you and keep well

    Its just one of those moments:hilarious:

    You are not alone, I posted something on the wrong thread and in fact the wrong forum in the early hours a few days ago, I had two windows open and it was a harmless quote in the right forum but was insulting on this one.

    “interesting’ situation..But as you say:It happens! Thanks for ‘sugar coating’ my dumb question..

    I see "Nell" not Mill in her name. Where does the Portfolio Advisory Board come from? I see that Pa B as her brother not an organization. The line below says "Pa B's sister." Her maiden name would have been Beaumont.

    I was thinking it reads PaB’s sister (so a sister in the PAB so that is what I assumed and what I searched for) I agree I was probably wrong. Then the 3rd line says: Mother of Lala? That makes more sense. But I still think it might be a M but maybe if it is indeed a N then not Nell,(I don’t think the second letter is an e and Nill doesn’t make sense) Do you have different opinion as to what B.W.R.B stands for? Thanks for the comments

    All and all it made for interesting reading and a bit of research (even if I was wrong)! Plus I also like it. All that for less that a dollar. That’s a bargain :)

    A different opinion from whom? I think it is clear from position on the page that it stands for the full name above it - Baron William Richard Beaumont.
