D. Ann Van Tine's Work for VTC and Other Activities
1. Ann Van Tine's Construction-Related Activities
Beginning when Ann Van Tine was in the 5th grade, decedent
picked her up after school and took her to job sites where they
stayed until dinner. When she was in high school, Ann Van Tine
helped her father operate transit levels (used to measure the
slope of land), install foundation forms, and do rough plumbing
and rough electrical work. She did carpentry, framing, roofing,
cement work, painting, and landscaping. Ann Van Tine received
her driver's license in 1953 when she was 16 years old. At that
time she began to pick up and deliver materials for VTC. She was
supervising construction by the 1960's and obtaining materials
for construction jobs. Her responsibilities to VTC and abilities
grew steadily.
From the mid-1950's to around 1980, Ann Van Tine helped
manage (e.g., rent, maintain, and landscape) apartments that VTC
had built.
Decedent and Betty Van Tine occasionally discussed giving
Ann Van Tine an interest in VTC property in exchange for her work
