GREEDY BUGGERS

Forty-four years had elapsed since author C.A. Collins departed with her family to Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands as a young girl and returned with her American born husband. The couple had spent thirteen years in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Like other expatriates who stay overseas for extended periods they often return to their point of origin. They were warned by those who had not been unable to make the transition back home, returning to the expatriate life within a couple of years . . . they had an offer for another overseas contract but decided to return and live in the United States with their young son. Settled in Virginia rather than Pennsylvania where her husband was born and bred and her own parents now lived.

Started a B&B, soon thereafter the internet took off and the hospitality industry one of the first to embrace its possibilities, totally upending the entire hospitality industry.

Four years after their return her father passed away, his abused liver would serve him no more and passed away two days before his 75th Birthday. But not before he made some foreboding warnings of what lay ahead. In a ninety minute revealing and riveting conversation, he squeezed what wasnt said over decades, overflowing with warnings what would happen after his demise and his spouse would be overwhelmed. Too many women are denied control in major decisions for which he made massive apologizes and now risk placing her in a vulnerable position and too dependent on advisors . . . she was, he was right and his predictions of what would unfurl was incredibly accurate. By what good did it do?

C.A. Collins knew what would likely happen by powerless, armed with little leverage and her critics successfully stripped what little she did have. She was unable to avert a catastrophic outcome in a

Commonwealth with an appalling record of malfeasance, especially when closely held corporation AKA small business involved. The author writes this as a warning in 2021 with a climate of horrendous assault on family businesses and farms . . .

She left the United States and returned to her native New Zealand.
