I'm told that there is now a note on the bank building saying it is "temporally [sic] closed" for remodeling. I'm working to get further specifics on how this "remodeling" took place, and on what timeline.
As best I can determine from public records, the ages of the three individuals most closely associated with the squatter group are Mrs Bush, age 85 or 86; Patrick Meyers AKA Patrick Omeirs, age 75; and John Cothran, age 68. It's difficult to imagine that these people could participate in or condone behavior more appropriate to juvenile delinquents, but the circumstances as far as they are known lead to few other conclusions.
"Bishop in Residence" Owen Williams, "Rector" Frederick Rivers, and "Presiding Bishop" Marsh appear to have at least tacitly approved what's occurred, quite possibly instigated it, and at minimum neither insisted that it stop or, if they were unaware that it had taken place, demanded that the participants make amends once they heard of it.
UPDATE: A knowledgeable party reports that on entry to the building on November 17, there was a flood in the ladies' restroom and the space was dirty, but there was no apparent vandalism. However, this party did notify Mrs Bush that by changing the locks, she was denying a city agency access to its property. Mrs Bush's response has not been reported, but given the sign on the building, it is currently closed to all comers.
