I don't know if MB is Catherine's other personality, but he is definitely a longtime lake person if he remembers that. The plumber was James Meadows, he worked for Russell Lands but struck out on his own. He was a very good plumber and everybody liked him, so his business did well. Then Russell Lands sent a letter to their cabin rentals saying that using James as a plumber was grounds for eviction. This is not a rumor, I rented from Russell and remember getting the letter like it was yesterday, even though it was almost 40 years ago. I don't know about non-renters getting a letter but back then almost everyone who had a place on the lake had a Russell cabin. At the time the only Russell development was Willow Point; there were some APC cabins but not many, and hardly any at all on the side of the lake that James would have frequented.
The question was "Why does Russell Lands care who we use as a plumber?" Some thought that using non-RL plumbers would cost RL money but that doesn't fly, because renters didn't pay for services like that if they went through RL. Using James actually cost the renters more money, but most didn't mind, because James was good at his job, and did it better and quicker than his replacements. So the only real reason that Russell Lands would deny James work was pettiness.
