The story is just starting to make the rounds, so we
can't/shouldn't ignore it... but an aviation legend is undergoing
some legal heartache, courtesy of 3 of his 4 kids.
The legendary Chuck Yeager, who has remarried, is undergoing
some family problems due to his children's mistrust/dislike of his
new spouse. Yeager, 81, married 45 year old Victoria Scott D'Angelo
(pictured together, above) last August after having lost his wife
Glennis to cancer over 13 years before.
Yeager's principal foe in the upcoming legal battle is his
daughter, Susan. She has filed a claim over yeager's 1.35 million
dollar ranch, charging that Chuck's new spouse is an "undue
influence" over him. A trial is scheduled for this May, in a Nevada
county Superior Court.
Susan's lawsuit claims
that the former Ms. D'Angelo has been "fraudulent," "malicious" and
"oppressive." Susan and her siblings Don Yeager and Sharon Flick
are Yeager's children from his 45-year marriage to Glennis
Yeager.
Yeager has said little about the matter, responding only that
his children are simply "upset" because his new wife would be
entitled to his money when he dies."
Mind you, for those of us at ANN that have come to know the
General fairly well through a number of events and projects, it's
hard to imagine that anyone could exert any undue influence over
him. He is, to be polite, an extremely confident and strong
personality... which is not a criticism because anyone who has
strapped his butt to a rocket, as he has done more than once, is
sure to need a lot of both to survive the experience.
