According to the arrest report, Heldenbrand, 42, stole the money from Simmons and office partner Dr. Ernest J. Gesiotto while she worked as their office manager and bookkeeper. She reportedly forged her name on their business checks and then deposited the funds into her personal banking account. Simmons told police that when he confronted Heldenbrand about the thefts, she admitted that she had committed the crimes over a period of about 1 1/2 years, which is the length of time she was employed there. Simmons reported this to the police Feb. 8. A police investigation revealed well in excess of 10 business checks of Simmons that had been made payable to cash, with Simmons' signature forged on them. They were endorsed "For Deposit Only" to the personal account of Heldenbrand and her husband.

  • Southern Fandom Confederation Update Southern
    Southern Fandom Confederation Update Volume 1, Number 16 Warren Buff, Editor & SFC President 2412 Still Forest Pl, Apt F Raleigh, NC 27607 [email protected] (919) 633-4993 Editorial: I’m forgoing a lot of bells and whistles (but hey, check out that cover art by Jose Sanchez!) on this issue in favor of actually getting it out to folks again. We’ve got a con report from Joy V. Ward, a book review from Rich Dengrove, and another good article from Dr. Jeff in the anchor slot. I’ll try to get back on the monthly production cycle, and I promise an SFC Bulletin real soon now. At ReConStruction, I was able to get a look at some old issues of the Bulletin, and noticed that they were only two sheets, double-sided, and contained short listings about happenings in Southern Fandom. Switching back to such a format for the Bulletin would probably allow us to afford releasing it a whole lot more often (and being less work, I could probably get on that production cycle). I do frequently get emails about things going on, and I’d like to pass the information along to the club. Would that be an effective or efficient way to do so? A Note From Westercon: While I was at Westercon, I brought up a new take on an old idea I’d had. I suggested to several fans involved with various Westercons and active in that region the possibility of running a fan fund to send fans back and forth between Westercon and DSC.
