maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted August 23, 2022 One-off search for the phrase "Lois Pope" turned up nowt so I'll mention her (b. 7 June 1933). Some of her vast fortune has clearly gone on maintaining her looks by way of having some work done. The fortune she's generously sharing was largely earned by Generoso Pope Jr. her second husband who didn't see his 62nd birthday. He left the CIA to build a publishing empire boasting The National Enquirer and Weekly World News. Generoso's alleged links still trouble conspiracy theorists with one side seeing him as succeeding partly due to mob links whilst Christopher Mellon (ex-intelligence turned UFO truth seeker) is amongst those claiming the gory tabloids had an official function leaking nuggets of amazing truth into their surreal stories suggesting space aliens were alive and well on this planet. Oh aye, we were talking about his widow, who'll likely give generously of points in those dead pools that count the low hanging fruit and accept US obits.
