I first heard from Phyllis Vrettos in the summer of 2009. During that same time period I also heard from, for the first time, Bruce Steadman and Carl Tapp. I don’t remember whether it was Bruce, Carl or Phyllis who I first heard from but I do remember that it was during the same June-July of summer 2009.
The other day I learned that Phyllis died after I read a comment posted by Carl here on the blog. It was difficult for me to accept that Phyllis had passed away. I got online to see if there was some way that this could be explained as some sort of mitsake or if it was a different person with the same, or similar, name. Shorty thereafter I found the following: E.J. Fielding Funeral Home obituary for Phyllis Rose Vrettos.
I feel sorrowful and unhappy and I was, and still am a little, in shock. I’ve had some family members pass and for some reason, I don’t know why, it never really affected me. But when a friend dies it puts me into a sad state of mind and it feels somewhat surreal.
I remember that Phyllis was witty and worked online sometimes around the clock in eligibility circles getting the word out regarding Barack Obama’s ineligibility to hold Office of President of the United States of America. It should be noted here for honorable record that Phyllis once saved my life when she purchased an airline ticket for me for travel from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to Chicago, Illinois.
I must also now tell the world that my friend Phyllis was in physical possession of Barack Obama’s tangible and certified Kenyan birth certificate for several months (October 2011 thru June 2012). I know that this is a very strange coincidence but she only returned the birth certificate to me approximately three (3) weeks before her death. The return was made at my request, on May 27, 2012, although the said request wasn’t sent out until June 11th, 2012 and and not received by Phyllis until June 13th, 2012:
06.11.2012 USPS mail receipts. Lucas Daniel Smith, Phyllis Vrettos, Bruce Steadman.
05.27.2012. Dominican Mother’s Day Letter to Phyllis Vrettos from Lucas Daniel Smith
My decision to entrust Phyllis with the birth certificate was made hastily and suddenly when I fled the country (USA) in October, 2011. Moreover, it was never my intent for the birth certificate to remain in Phyllis’ custody for such a prolonged period of time.
Rather than writing an account of these events I present to you the following windy letter to Phyllis from myself, also a letter from Phyllis to me and lastly a letter from Phyllis to her son. The very last embedded letter (undated but written at some point in very late 2011 or early 2012) from Phyllis to her son closes with, “Most likely, what I have written is for naught and you will never see this, but just case…this matter is too important not to write this out.” In context with the letter that does not sound like a women who knows, or suspects, that she will die soon.
Please note that Bruce Steadman, Carl Tapp (or Carl’s online handle) and attorney Mario Apuzzo are referenced within the said correspondences which are provided in the following embeds:
11.22.2011. Lucas Daniel Smith letter to Phyllis Vrettos
I took receipt of the following on June 19, 2012:
06.15.2012. Phyllis Vrettos letter (and Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate) to Lucas Daniel Smith
You are dearly missed my friend Phyllis.
I was very saddened to hear of the recent death of our beloved, witty, feisty compatriot, ‘VikingLady’ (recently on the WOBIK InspectorSmith Forum) and ‘theviking711’ (earlier on the InspectorSmith YouTube channel).
I never met ‘VikingLady’ personally. However, I always looked forward to reading her highly intelligent and helpful online comments. I will miss her very, very much!
To help me to remember ‘VikingLady, as I first became acquainted with her online, I decided to access my own ‘bsteadman wayback’ file and here is what I found:
The following two comments were recorded 7/7/2009 on the InspectorSmith YouTube channel. This dialog occurred shortly after Lucas posted information regarding Obama’s authentic CPGH Kenyan BC on eBay at the end of June 2009. However, the dialog occurred well over a month BEFORE he published the following video, which I believe showed the document for the first time to the American public:

Reproduced dialog on the InspectorSmith YouTube Channel, 7/7/2009:
COMMENT #316 by ‘MrSuperGullible’:
Now taking bets on which of the following theories will be circulated next:
A. Mr Smith’s dog ate the birth certificate, causing a slight delay in its miraculous appearance.
B. Obama had youtube taken down tonight
C. Mr Smith has scheduled a meeting with Sarah Palin
D. All of the above
COMMENT #317 by ‘theviking711’:
Gullible, you missed a couple:
1. My lawyer won’t let me
2. BO paid me big bucks for it
3. The feds confiscated it
4. I was robbed
Seriously, though, I repeat, WHY DOES BO REFUSE TO SHOW THE REAL THING, COMPLETE WITH SIGNATURES AND SEAL, IF ONE EXISTS? I don’t want to hear “It’s on-line” That one is a fake.
VikingLady — one very sharp, nice lady who was in this fight ‘big-time’ from the very beginning.
She was a real treasure!
MAKAHAYAN WILL MISS VIKING LADY ALSO .
I WAS THE FIRST TO LEARN OF HER PASSING , SINCE SHE SENT INFO TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE EVERY DAY . WHILE VIEWING HER FACEBOOK PAGE , THERE WAS A NOTICE FROM HER DAUGHTER THAT SHE HAD PASSED . WE SHOULD ALL BE GLAD THAT WE KNEW HER , BUT NOT SO SAD THAT SHE IS NOT ONLINE ANY MORE . WE WILL SEE HER ON THE ‘ OTHER SIDE ‘ WHEN JESHUAH RETURNS TO SHAKE UP MANKIND AND ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH .
VIKING LADY AND MAKAHAYAN FREQUENTLY HAD TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS , AND SHE GAVE ME A GREAT RECIPE FOR ‘ CAJUN ‘ GUMBO . SHE WAS CALLED VIKING LADY BECAUSE SHE ONCE LIVED IN A NORTHEASTERN LOCATION WHERE THE VIKINGS FIRST LANDED ON THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT ( BEFORE COLUMBUS ) SHE CLAIMED DIRECT DESCENT FROM THE VIKINGS , AND HAD RED HAIR . THE VIKINGS LIVED AMONG SEVERAL TRIBES OF NATIVE AMERICANS AND INTERMARRIED WITH THEM .
WE ANTICIPATE A REUNION WITH PHYLLIS AT THE RESURECTION .
To supplement this blog report I am adding the following from the E.J. Fielding Funeral Home:
Phyllis Rose Vrettos passed away on Saturday, July 7, 2012 at the age of 69.
Beloved wife of the late Odissefs Vrettos. Loving mother of Angela Rayher, Teddy Vrettos, John Vrettos and the late Cindy Schoolmeyer. Daughter of the late Margie and Peter Lorig. She is also survived by twelve grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

‘Viking Lady’ was a very intelligent, patriotic, hard-working and witty member of our InspectorSmith community. She is greatly missed by many folks, most certainly including me.
Here is a post she entered on the Forum on Christmas Day, 2011, only a few short months before she passed away in July 2012:
Based on the above post, I think ‘Viking Lady’ would have approved of the approach being taken by Team Arpaio to address our critically important OBAMA PROBLEM!
Viking Lady is greatly missed. I wanted to post a comment yesterday but wasn’t able to do so until just now.
