The declaration appearing on the second page of each three-
page document was signed in the name of Lynne Meredith, who was
identified as “Sovereignty Pure Trusts, Creator”, and in the
names of James Rabold, Susan Thomas Barmes, and Jennifer
Burgess,24 all three of whom were identified as trustees. Peti-
tioner Barbara Barmes (Ms. Barmes), in her capacity as a notary
public, indicated on the second page of each three-page document
that James Rabold, Susan Thomas Barmes, and Jennifer Burgess
signed the declaration appearing on each such page.
The third page of each three-page document, which was
unnumbered, was entitled “MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE
TRUSTEES”. One such third page referenced Sandbar Wholesale
Trust and the other referenced Sandbar Real Estate Trust.25 (We
shall refer to the third page of each three-page document as
minutes.) The minutes stated, inter alia:

24On Feb. 5, 1996, Jennifer Burgess was divorced from Mark
Barmes. On Mar. 12, 1996, she resigned her duties as trustee of
both trusts. On Feb. 12, 1999, Susan Thomas Barmes resigned her
duties as trustee of both trusts. On May 15, 1999, James Rabold
resigned his duties as trustee of both trusts. Beginning on Mar.
27, 1996, certain Community Bank records identified Kim Hall
Barmes as a trustee of both trusts.
25The third page of the document referencing Sandbar Real
Estate Trust was entitled “MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE
TRUSTEES OF; [sic] Sandbar Family Trust”. We believe that that
reference to Sandbar Family Trust was a typographical error, and
we construe such minutes to be minutes relating to Sandbar Real
Estate Trust. That is because all other references in such
minutes were to the Sandbar Real Estate Trust.
