... The IRS said the foundation was 'defunct'....and Patsy has miraculously resurrected it last week. I'm confused...does the foundation exist or not?
Not only did Patsy resurrect a defunct foundation in less than an LKL minute, it miraculously reappeared in time to give money in Charlevoix where John is running for office.
First, let's look at an article dated February 21, 1999. Just two years after the foundation was started, it had done nothing, and no records were available.
"Ramsey children's fund seems idle"

Now, let's look at what Patsy actually said during that miraculous resurrection ...
P. RAMSEY: This week, however, we did present $1,000 worth of scholarships to Mount McSauba Day Camp here in Charlevoix, Michigan, where JonBenet and Burke both attended day camp. JonBenet was the camper of the year one summer. And we were very happy that the foundation was able to provide some scholarship money for campers this year.
Notice ... in the beginning, Patsy doesn't say the money comes from the foundation. She says "
we" presented $1,000 worth of scholarships.
I suspect the "we" Patsy refers to is either the Ramseys looking for a personal tax write-off, or money given by John's political campaign fund looking for good press.
In typical Patsy fashion, (except when she suddenly loses her memory and "can't remember"), Patsy adds details that were not necessary to the answer. She brags about JonBenet being "camper of the year one summer." What does that have to do with anything? Once again, it's all about "image" for Patsy.
In Patsy's last sentence, she renames the previous "we" as the "foundation."
"And we were very happy that the foundation was able to provide some scholarship money for campers this year."
They were very
happy? the foundation was able to provide money for campers?
I should think they'd be
STUNNED! It's an absolute marvel! Just when the IRS says the foundation is dead and gone, it comes back with a vengeance and starts throwing money around Charlevoix.
I wish someone in Charlevoix would investigate what Ramsey "fund" gave a check to the Mount McSauba Day Camp. I guarantee it wasn't the Ramsey JBR foundation. Patsy is hoping her little public relations "explanation" will slip in under the radar.
IMO
