  "  Hello Terry,
  Thank you for contacting Support. I was sorry to hear about the passing of the owner of the site militarybrats.net, Mr. Vann Baker. I would be happy to help you with your question....

Until we can get that information we are pretty much stopped from doing anything. I thing Dawn is talking to his sister, who we believe is his nearest next of kin and logically would be the executor of his estate.

I never met him but we would often communicate on brat stuff in the early days of the site and I always enjoyed reading his blogs. He was always an encouragement to me when writing my own stories and I am genuinely saddened to hear that he isn't around anymore. Vann was one of the good guys of the internet stage.
