Someone who read my Feb. 15 story about Peggy Greer’s money-draining experience under a guardian and conservator was taken by this passage:

Shortly after that, Greer wrote to [conservator William] Sanden, asking for $1,000 to fulfill a lifelong dream. She wanted to self-publish a novel she had written about an American Indian, titled “Face of Light, Face of Stone.” She was told she didn’t have any money left.

Greer received a $1,000 check from a stranger, her son Terry reports, as well as an offer from a printer in Appleton, Minnesota to typeset her book. “I am blown away by the kindness of these people,” Terry Greer wrote to me in an email.

I’m continuing to get calls, emails and letters about guardian and conservator matters. I’ll be writing more about this in the weeks ahead, as well as tracking the progress of legislative measures that would tighten the oversight of guardians and conservators in Minnesota.
