<b>So, isn't the issue whether the vacancy occurred within two years
after D's death, which is not discernible from your Email? Yes,
your Email says that the PR died within six weeks of the
expiration of the four-month claims period</b><b>, which certainly
suggests, but does not determine, that the vacancy occurred within
two years of the D's death</b><b>.</b><b> Maybe I'm being too
literal?</b><b> Shoot, for the $100 or so that it usually costs
to publish a notice of vacancy, I just do it & put it behind
me.</b><br>
