Dispute over late store owner's estate involves $800000 stock gift letter
Marjorie Lyon, the longtime manager of Wildman’s Civil War Surplus, is involved in an ongoing legal dispute regarding the estate of deceased store owner Dent Myers. In October 2021, Myers gifted her stock, which is now being contested. Lyon submitted a letter from Myers along with an affidavit from a witness who claims to have seen Myers sign the document. This legal filing could potentially absolve her of claims that she improperly took over $800,000 in Lockheed Martin Corp. stock that did not belong to her. The case has seen various developments, including the removal of letters and other documentation from the court records. Lyon has faced accusations involving the stock, which she asserts was legally gifted to her. The court has been reviewing the evidence presented, including the letter that begins with "To My Best Gal Friday." As the dispute continues, Lyon remains hopeful that the evidence will support her position and clarify her legal standing regarding the estate. The proceedings have drawn attention, especially considering the substantial sums involved and the implications for Lyon's reputation and business. The situation remains fluid as both parties prepare for further hearings in the case.
