...upset, there was the 200-meter freestyle victory of Florida's Pam Kruse, 17, who clocked a world-record 2 min. 9.7 sec.-while the old recordholder, California's Pokey Watson, straggled in fifth. For beauty, there was Florida's lissome, blonde Catie Ball, 15, who set world marks in both the 100meter and 200-meter breaststroke. And for versatility, there was California's tousle-haired Claudia Kolb, 17, who 1) won the 400-meter individual medley in world-record time, 2) set a second record in the 200-meter medley, 3) swam the breaststroke...
...Debbie startled experts last month when she broke two world records (for the 800-meter and 1,500-meter freestyle) in one race at Santa Clara, Calif. At Winnipeg last week, Debbie was matched in the women's 400-meter freestyle against the reigning world record holder, Pamela Kruse, 17, of Pompano Beach, Fla. She obviously has no respect for her elders. Leaving the aging Pamela struggling vainly in her wake, Debbie splashed to a daylight victory in 4 min. 32.6 sec., beating the Floridian's world mark by a fantastic...
After the local bank's skillful sleuthing, Kruse might well be pleased. In Michigan, as elsewhere, the law spells out in detail the order in which the property of a person who dies intestate is to be distributed among his surviving relatives, including spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, brothers and sisters, their children and the decedent's cousins-on past fourth cousins. Kruse had never married, and his spinster sister Ann had died years before. After long digging, the bankers finally traced his nearest kin: six cousins, whom Ottawa County Probate Judge Fred Miles duly named Kruse...
Primary Heir. Even after that decision, though, Judge Miles and the bankers were still curious. They found that year after year Kruse had carefully preserved all his old correspondence-and in letters dating back to the 1920s they discovered vague references to a mysterious "Eugenia," who turned out to be Sister Ann's illegitimate daughter. As Kruse's niece, Eugenia was clearly his primary heir. But was she alive? And if so, where? Further detective work in ancient adoption records located Eugenia. She was the adopted daughter of a couple who had never revealed her origin; her first...
Judge Miles has just voided his June decision and assigned Kruse's estate to Eugenia-Rosemary, who had never heard of Uncle Arthur, though he obviously knew about her. Neither Eugenia's illegitimacy nor her adoption barred her $1,600,000 windfall. Those who knew Kruse suspect that he left no will because he recoiled from exposing Sister Ann's secret. If so, he gambled on the small-town probate court's ability to discover Eugenia. Fortunately for her, his gamble paid...
