Laurie,
Sound advice. I might add..tape record ALL conversations (in person and
telephonic). It's legal in Arizona (as long as one of the two parties
has knowledge of the activity (you). You can buy a small recorder at
Radio Shack that will help your memory and most likely the selective
memories of others.
