Scholar! i was looking at some of those documents n noticed a difference in God-And's signatures in her marriage docs:her signatures on the first n third docs look similar tho by no means identical--esp in the way "Ludwig" is written: http://www.avpublications.org/records/gail-riplinger-marriage-1.tif http://www.avpublications.org/records/gail-riplinger-marriage-3.tif the second marriage doc looks signed by a different person: http://www.avpublications.org/records/gail-riplinger-marriage-2b.tif i haven't seen the rest of the docs, but this is interesting.

Oh, yes, that second marriage document. For some reason she signed her name without capitalizing it. Appears as if she was experimenting with her handwriting a
little. I did that in late high school and college. Also, I have wondered if her second husband might have signed for her, if that would have been legally
allowable, as the writing almost looks more like his, which is signed just above hers. But it is indeed her marriage document, as the divorce record identified
on her current marriage document is linked to this marriage document.
Check out the 1994 filing of A.V. Publications in Ohio. Look at Michael Riplinger's signature on the two pages he signed and see how it makes a super match to his signature on his marriage document. It appears that his writing hasn't changed much. |

If one looks carefully at that all lower-case signature, the "anne" appears evidently by the same hand that wrote the capitalized "Anne" in
the other documents. I would presume that a handwriting expert might confirm this.

Check the signatures on various of the AV Publications corporate filing document reproductions that by now should be posted on the AVPublications.org site. |

The "ail" part of the second document appears the same as in the first and third, at least to me.
As for the first and third, they definitely match the autograph I have. Compare the "Gail" on those two docs with this: http://www.kjv-only.com/pics/gailsig.jpg I'll look at the rest of the images tomorrow.

People also might also want to look at the extended handwritten comment by GAR "To Becky" on the
AVPublications.org reproduction of the cover of her "Offices" book (also signed "Gail"). Certainly seems like these signatures and
handwriting matches what appears on the various marriage/divorce certificates.

There is a lot to look through. So far, we have put up the most recent A.V. Publications filing for Virginia and the first one she did when she transferred the
corporation from Ohio to VA. Also, we have included both of her Ohio filings. We hope to have all of them up in the near future. The more autographs, the
better. The more evidence, the better.

PS: Brian, thank you for giving the link to that autograph. It is interesting how she placed that little embellishment (tail) from the L to the top of the I in
her first name. It is similar to the lower-case signature on her second marriage document. Her last name appears just as it does in most of her corporate
filings. How long ago did she sign this for you?

It wasn't for me. I bought it on ebay a few years ago for just a few dollars.

Armchair,
What is your email address? I looked at the documents, but couldn't enlarge them to compare her signature. The letter G and L looks the same. I was trying to compare because I do have here a letter Gail wrote to me years ago. I just scanned it. I can send it via email. I will be at work today, so I will try to get it off to you this afternoon. |

the signature visible. i tried installing a plugin TIFF reader, but for some reason it wldn't work.
most of us have browsers that show jpegs on the fly, n i think i speak for more than me if that cld be made possible.

I just downloaded them to my desktop, then once off-line brought them up for view in whatever XP uses for .TIF files, and I could enlarge to my satisfaction,
as well as print out the copies as needed.
If that doesn't work, there are some free conversion programs available for download that will turn .TIF into .JPG or .GIF.

Okay. I uploaded the letter I got from Gail and put it in my photobucket.
http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y297/hooper386/Family/ Look for "Letter" I tried to look for the post mark on the envelope, but can only read 19. I think it was sent in 1995 or 1996. |

Hi all! We will work on making them .jpeg. We did all of these on a Mac but can do the .jpeg files on a Microsoft PC. It will probably be a few days before we
can add them. Thank you for bringing this up. It would be good to have them available in several formats. We might also add PDFs too because they seem to make
them look nice and clear. And the clearer the better.

Wow, Sandra. That letter gives an excellent handwriting sample. I notice the way she signed "Gail" again is with the weird tail coming off the L over
the I with a large circular dot. This again closely resembles the little would-be flourish in her siggy on the second marriage document, except she didn't
capitalize her name. When did she send you this letter?

Everyone should notice that the handwriting on Sandra's lengthy letter sample is virtually identical to that of the longer "Dear Becky" sample on
the Kaleda Office book cover.
If 2+2 = 4 then -- using acrostic algebra -- GAR = GAK |

Yes, it is identical. Also, notice that match between the "Gail" of the "Becky" autograph and the "Gail" in the signature on the second page of the second (Kaleda) divorce, as well as the "Gail" on the current marriage document. The L is exactly the same in all 3, and the G is a definite match. In her current marriage document there is a tail from the L to the dot on the I of "Gail" also. The copy makes it a little less noticeable but if you know to look for it you can see it's there. |
