Trademark Infringement Evidence

Trademark infringement & testimonial-misuse evidence package

Subject: rebuilders.net (Rebuilders International, LLC) and rebuilding.net (parked) v. Bob Manthy / Rebuilding Seminars Prepared for: Bob Manthy and his trademark counsel Prepared by: Charlie (engaged by Annette Thompson) Capture date: 2026-05-07 Scope correction applied: 2026-06-06 (see banner below) Sensitivity: INTERNAL, names Bob, his mark, and locations because this is for counsel. Not for public distribution.

This is not legal advice. It is an evidentiary package. Counsel decides what is actionable. Every claim links back to a specific URL + capture timestamp + (where applicable) a snapshot file under snapshots/.

⚠️ Scope correction (confirmed by Bob, 2026-06-06)

Only the plural "Rebuilding Seminars" is the mark at issue. The singular "Rebuilding Seminar" is descriptive and is excluded from this infringement analysis.

A competitor saying "a rebuilding seminar" or "the Rebuilding Seminar" descriptively is not infringing Bob's mark. Only a competitor's use of the exact plural form "Rebuilding Seminars" is infringement-relevant evidence.

What this correction changed. The original 2026-05-07 draft of this report headlined that rebuilders.net "uses the phrase 'Rebuilding Seminar(s)' 27 times" and asserted that the plural form "also appears in their meta tags and body text on multiple pages." On re-examination of the underlying data, that assertion was incorrect. Every one of the 27 cited instances on rebuilders.net is the singular "Rebuilding Seminar." The analyzer's internal label ("Rebuilding Seminars (mark)") was a regex bucket name, not the actual matched text; the actual matched text in all 27 rows is the singular "Rebuilding Seminar." Re-verified three ways on 2026-06-06: (a) regex over all 159 captured rebuilders.net snapshot HTML files = 0 plural, 55 singular; (b) the analyzer's own _phrase-hits-flat.csv = 0 plural, 27 singular in the mark bucket; (c) live re-fetch of rebuilders.net's key pages on 2026-06-06 = 0 plural, 15 singular on the pages checked.

Net effect on the case. Under the corrected scope, the "competitor uses Bob's mark" / phrase-overlap branch of the infringement theory does not hold against rebuilders.net on the mark itself, because rebuilders.net does not use the plural mark at all in any captured or live source. The case does not rest on the "Rebuilding Seminars" phrase being copied. What remains live and unaffected by this correction is set out in the executive summary below: the "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™" trademark exposure (a separate registered-style mark apparently held/licensed by RB360, not Bob's mark), the technical rb360.net relationship evidence, the Bruce Fisher lineage / derivative-method claims, the geographic + business overlap, and the inconsistent age-of-business claims (potential Lanham Act §43(a) false-advertising adjunct). Those do not depend on the singular-vs-plural distinction. Counsel should weigh the case on those elements, not on phrase-copying of "Rebuilding Seminars."

Throughout this document, PLURAL = mark (counts) and SINGULAR = descriptive (disregard). Findings have been re-classified accordingly.

1. Executive summary (5 bullets for counsel)

  1. rebuilders.net uses the SINGULAR phrase "Rebuilding Seminar" 27 times across 16+ pages (body text, meta descriptions, meta keywords, OpenGraph tags, and a site-wide image alt-text alt="Rebuilding Seminar - Self Paced"). Under the corrected scope (plural-only), all 27 of these are DISREGARDED as descriptive. The exact plural form that is Bob's mark, "Rebuilding Seminars," appears ZERO times anywhere on rebuilders.net, confirmed across all 159 captured snapshots, in the analyzer's _phrase-hits-flat.csv, and on a live re-fetch (2026-06-06). The earlier draft's claim that the plural "also appears in their meta tags and body text" was incorrect and has been retracted. Counsel takeaway: rebuilders.net does not use Bob's "Rebuilding Seminars" mark; the phrase-copying theory does not apply to them. (Source: 159-page snapshot, see _phrase-hits-flat.csv for full list; column matched_text shows the actual phrase matched.)
  2. rebuilders.net uses "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™" with a TM symbol on /locations (body text) and on /post/from-divorce-recovery-to-empowerment-kathys-journey... (meta tags, body text). (This usage is the SINGULAR "Seminar," but it is a distinct mark, "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar," apparently RB360's, not Bob's "Rebuilding Seminars" mark, so the plural-only scope rule for Bob's mark does not exclude it. It is presented as a separate trademark-exposure question, not as evidence of copying Bob's mark.) The apparent owner of "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™" is RB360, a separate entity that operates fisherrebuildingseminars.com and licenses the mark territorially. Whether rebuilders.net holds a valid current license from RB360 is the threshold question for counsel. Technical evidence ties rebuilders.net's quiz infrastructure to rb360.net via an embedded JavaScript form (<script src="https://links.rb360.net/js/form_embed.js">) on three quiz/lead-capture pages. This finding is unaffected by the scope correction.
  3. rebuilders.net's Terms of Service (/terms) explicitly invokes trademark law to protect their own marks ("the trademark indicia must be included at all times. Any marketing or promotional tools…bearing the trademark symbols (™) or ® may not be used by you for any reason without our express written permission"). (The "Rebuilding Seminar" usage on that page is the singular image alt-text and is descriptive, disregarded for Bob's mark. This bullet is retained only as context that the entity is familiar with trademark mechanics; it is not evidence of using Bob's plural mark.)
  4. rebuilding.net is a parked domain for sale on Afternic. Its only resolving page (/lander) is a domain-marketplace listing; sitemap contains a single URL pointing back to that lander. Not a competitor.
  5. No testimonial cross-matches were found between Bob's text testimonials (6 testimonials inventoried from rebuildingseminars.com pages + ~293 Google Business Profile reviews unparseable from outside Google) and rebuilders.net's text content. Caveat: rebuilders.net's /results-4544 testimonials page is video-only (~18+ embedded video players with "Enable sound" buttons; no transcript text in HTML). Cross-reference of video testimonials would require Playwright + speech-to-text transcription, which was out of scope for this run.

Top three evidentiary findings (ranked by counsel-utility, after scope correction)

Note: the original draft ranked the site-wide "Rebuilding Seminar - Self Paced" image alt-text as a top-three finding. Because that text is singular and descriptive, it is now excluded under the corrected scope and no longer appears in this ranking. The three findings below do not depend on the singular-vs-plural distinction.

  1. The "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™" usage on rebuilders.net + the rb360.net script-embed link. This is the single most concrete trademark exposure that survives the scope correction. Note this is a different mark ("Fisher Rebuilding Seminar," apparently RB360's), not Bob's "Rebuilding Seminars" mark, so it is a trademark-exposure question for RB360's mark, not evidence that rebuilders.net copied Bob's mark. Either rebuilders.net is an authorized licensee of RB360 (and counsel should verify and obtain the license terms), or they are using a trademark without authorization. The rb360.net JavaScript embed on rebuilders.net's quiz pages is direct technical evidence of an operational relationship between the two entities, counsel should subpoena RB360 for the license register if they don't volunteer it.
  2. Inconsistent age-of-business claims that conflate Bruce Fisher's lineage with Rebuilders International's entity history. Homepage: "For 40 years." About-us: "since the 1970s." Foundations landing page: "since the 1980s" + "more than 100,000 people." Multiple post pages: "since 1974." Rebuilders International, LLC is a relatively young company (Kevin Van Liere appears to have been "leading groups for 8 years" per /ignition). Conflating the LLC's age with Bruce Fisher's 1975 program is potentially false-advertising-relevant, particularly if Bob's mark is cited as the actual continuous-use lineage. Counsel may want to evaluate Lanham Act §43(a) implications. Unaffected by the scope correction.
  3. Geographic + business overlap with Bob's program (see §7). Same Bruce Fisher methodology, same 10-week format, same source book, same IC 41 service class, Boulder/Front Range overlap. This is the standard likelihood-of-confusion fact pattern, but note it stands on product and market overlap, not on rebuilders.net copying the "Rebuilding Seminars" phrase (which they do not use). Unaffected by the scope correction.

Honest bottom line for counsel after the correction: the strongest phrase-based theory in the original draft (competitor repeats Bob's mark) does not hold against rebuilders.net, because they use only the descriptive singular and never the plural mark. The case against rebuilders.net, if pursued, rests on the RB360/Fisher-mark licensing question, the Fisher-lineage/derivative-method claims, the false-advertising-adjacent age claims, and product/market overlap, not on copying "Rebuilding Seminars."

2. Crawl scope & methodology

Domain Pages snapshotted Source of seed URLs
rebuilders.net 159 https://rebuilders.net/sitemap.xml (134 URLs) + 16 navigation-discovered + 10 from extra crawl
rebuilding.net 4 Direct probe + sitemap (1 URL) + robots.txt + lander

Per-row crawl log: audit/crawl-log-2026-05-07.csv and the narrative companion audit/crawl-log-2026-05-07.md.

3. Trademark phrase findings

Search patterns (all case-insensitive unless noted): Rebuilding Seminars?, rebuildingseminars\.com, rebuildingseminars (token), Rebuilders Seminars?, Bob Manthy, Bruce Fisher, Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale, FDAS, 19[\s\-]?(building|rebuilding)\s+blocks, certified facilitator, Fisher Rebuilding Seminars?, ™ / &trade;, ® / &reg;, Trade Mark, Rebuilding program, age claims, RB360, Will Limon.

Full hit-table (1,489 rows): audit/_phrase-hits-flat.csv.

3a. Hit summary by domain

Column rename after scope correction: the column previously headed "Rebuilding Seminars (mark)" was a mislabeled regex bucket; its hits are all the singular descriptive "Rebuilding Seminar." It is renamed below to "Rebuilding Seminar (singular, DISREGARDED)," and a separate "Rebuilding Seminars (PLURAL mark)" column is added to show the true count of the mark, which is 0 on rebuilders.net.

Domain Total hits "Rebuilding Seminars" (PLURAL mark, counts) "Rebuilding Seminar" (singular, DISREGARDED) "Bruce Fisher" "FDAS" / "Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale" "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar" (singular; RB360's mark, not Bob's) TM/® symbols Age claims "RB360" "Bob Manthy"
rebuilders.net 128 0 27 26 34 (22 + 12) 3 8 (7 ™ + 1 ®) 21 3 0
rebuilding.net 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
rebuildingseminars.com 1,361 (Bob's own usage, baseline) (Bob's primary mark, his own correct use) (Bob also uses singular descriptively on his own site) (Bob references Fisher openly) (Bob references FDAS via self-test page) 0 (Bob does not use Fisher's mark) (Bob's "since 1993" claim) 0 (Bob's name appears widely)

The corrected headline: rebuilders.net uses the plural mark "Rebuilding Seminars" 0 times. Its 27 phrase hits are all the singular descriptive "Rebuilding Seminar," which are disregarded. (It also mentions Bob Manthy 0 times.) The original draft's "they use the mark without naming the mark holder" framing does not survive the correction, because they do not use the plural mark at all.

3b. Most evidentiary hits on rebuilders.net (verbatim)

Each entry: URL → matched phrase → verbatim context (capture timestamp 2026-05-07).

"Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™", primary trademark exposure

Source: https://rebuilders.net/locations → snapshot: audit/snapshots/rebuilders-net/rebuilders.net_locations.html Verbatim: "This program was first created by Dr. Bruce Fisher over 40 years ago. Thousands of people have done this program. It works. Clinically proven to accelerate the Divorce Recovery process The Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™ walks with you as you 'climb the mountain' toward emotional freedom. The group process is rapid and effective. You will heal as a group."

Source: https://rebuilders.net/post/from-divorce-recovery-to-empowerment-kathys-journey--tips--podcast-episode → snapshot: audit/snapshots/rebuilders-net/rebuilders.net_post_from-divorce-recovery-to-empowerment-kathys-journey--tips--podcast-episode.html Verbatim (meta description, OpenGraph description): "…helped her heal and what didn't. She's now helping others as a certified Facilitator for the Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™ in Cincinnati, Ohio."

This second hit is significant for two reasons:

  1. The page treats rebuilders.net as a publisher of content about an authorized "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™" facilitator, which strongly suggests Rebuilders International, LLC understands the mark's licensing structure.
  2. The Cincinnati facilitator is a different person ("Kathy" who runs RebuildersCincinnati.com) from Bob's team member Kathy Decker (LPC, Denver). No name conflict for Bob's lawyer to worry about, but worth noting.

Site-wide image alt-text, SINGULAR, DISREGARDED under corrected scope

The image at https://storage.cdn.filesafe.space/NCPf8G7wB8RzbMDVCwrv/media/67bca48ddcce8171515bcbb0.png is loaded with alt="Rebuilding Seminar - Self Paced" on at least 14 pages of rebuilders.net. This is the SINGULAR form and is descriptive, so under the corrected scope it is DISREGARDED for infringement of Bob's mark. It is documented here only for completeness. It does not support an infringement claim on "Rebuilding Seminars," and the original draft's "structural usage" framing of this item is withdrawn for infringement purposes (it remains a factual observation that the alt-text exists site-wide, nothing more).

/facilitator-interest, meta-tag-level usage, SINGULAR, DISREGARDED

Source: https://rebuilders.net/facilitator-interest Verbatim (meta description): "This is for professionals seeking to deliver the Rebuilding Seminar." Verbatim (og:description): "This is for professionals seeking to deliver the Rebuilding Seminar." Verbatim (meta keywords): "Rebuilding Seminar, disaster recovery, community rebuilding, infrastructure development, professional development, disaster relief, resilience building", note the off-topic tail of the keywords, which suggests automated keyword stuffing. Verbatim (og:keywords): "Rebuilding Seminar Create a Divorce support group"

All instances on this page are the SINGULAR "Rebuilding Seminar", descriptive, and DISREGARDED under the corrected scope. This page is rebuilders.net's recruiting page for facilitators; it uses "the Rebuilding Seminar" descriptively. It is not evidence of using Bob's plural mark. (The off-topic keyword tail is noted only as a generic SEO-hygiene observation, not as trademark evidence.)

/post/from-divorce-recovery-to-empowerment-kathys-journey..., body text usage, SINGULAR, DISREGARDED

The blog post body uses the singular "the Rebuilding Seminar" 7 times in narrative text:

All seven are the SINGULAR "Rebuilding Seminar", descriptive, and DISREGARDED under the corrected scope. The phrasing reads as generic/descriptive use of "a rebuilding seminar." It is not evidence of using Bob's plural mark "Rebuilding Seminars." (Note: this same post also carries the singular "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™" in its meta tags, that is RB360's distinct mark, handled separately, and is not Bob's mark either.)

/terms, Self-trademark assertion

Source: https://rebuilders.net/terms Verbatim: "…the trademark indicia must be included at all times. Any marketing or promotional tools and/or Program, Product or Service titles or any other title or information of ours bearing the trademark symbols (™) or ® may not be used by you for any reason without our express written permission. All rights not expressly granted in these terms or any express written license…"

Rebuilders International, LLC explicitly invokes trademark protection for their own marks. (Their own "Rebuilding Seminar" usage is singular/descriptive and is disregarded for Bob's mark; this subsection is retained only as context that the entity is familiar with trademark law's mechanics.)

/post/divorce-recovery-your-complete-roadmap-to-healing, RIFT Recovery Method™

Three TM-symbol occurrences on this page tag the phrase "RIFT Recovery Method™", a proprietary mark Rebuilders International appears to assert on a derivative method:

Same on /therapy-and-therapists: "Track emotional recovery using our RIFT Recovery Method™ (developed from the Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale)", the parenthetical is a direct claim of derivative authority over Fisher's psychometric tool.

rb360.net, technical evidence of operational relationship

Three quiz/lead-capture pages on rebuilders.net embed an external JavaScript file from links.rb360.net:

This is direct, machine-readable evidence that rebuilders.net's lead capture flows through RB360's infrastructure (or shares ownership with it). Counsel should subpoena RB360 for the underlying license / partnership / shared-ownership documentation.

"certified facilitator", lineage-claim language

Source: https://rebuilders.net/therapy-and-therapists Verbatim: "Interested in Facilitator Training? Therapists are some of our best-trained facilitators. If you're interested in expanding your services or launching Rebuilders in your area, learn more here: Become a Certified Facilitator. Copyright © 2026 Rebuilders International, LLC, All rights reserved."

The "Become a Certified Facilitator" link mirrors RB360's "Certified Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™ Facilitator" terminology. If rebuilders.net is offering a competing certification track without an RB360 license, that's a separate concern from the mark usage.

"Bob Manthy", direct mention check

Result: 0 mentions of "Bob Manthy" anywhere on rebuilders.net (159 pages). They are not naming Bob personally. Whether that helps or hurts a likelihood-of-confusion analysis depends on counsel's framing, courts have ruled both ways on whether non-naming reinforces "ordinary consumer would be confused."

Inconsistent age-of-business claims (potential false-advertising adjunct)

One site, multiple irreconcilable claims:

Page Claim Verbatim
Homepage / "For 40 years" "Welcome to the #1 most comprehensive divorce recovery program in the world. For 40 years."
/about-us "since the 1970s" "Cofounder of Rebuilders International, LLC and After Divorce Support. This program has been available since the 1970s."
/foundations-lp "since the 1980s" "…by focusing on the most effective tools and information. More than 100,000 people…" (preceding sentence references "since the 1980s")
/ignition Kevin "leading groups for 8 years" "Kevin Van Liere, Rebuilders International founder and Expert Divorce Coach. Kevin has been leading groups for 8 years"
/post/financial-independence-after-divorce-first-steps and 7 other post pages "since 1974" "Our structured approach has helped thousands [of clients] since 1974" (boilerplate appearing in multiple post pages)

Bruce Fisher's 1975 program (his book Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends was first published 1981, but his workshops began earlier in the late 1970s per public record) is being conflated with Rebuilders International, LLC's actual operating history. The "since 1974" claim, in particular, predates Bruce Fisher's earliest workshops by at least a year, it is structurally implausible.

3c. Hits on rebuilding.net

Zero phrase hits across all 4 captured URLs. The domain is parked at Afternic for sale (sitemap → /lander → 307 redirect to https://www.afternic.com/forsale/rebuilding.net?utm_source=TDFS_DASLNC&utm_medium=parkedpages&...). Not a competitor; document and dismiss.

3d. Hits on rebuildingseminars.com (Bob's own usage, baseline)

1,361 hits across 30 pages. This is Bob's own use of his mark + Fisher references on his own site, i.e., the active-use baseline that supports Bob's first-known-use evidence (per /contact-us: "195 Second Ave., Niwot, CO 80544" and prior research showing Bob acquired the program from "Norm" with a "20-year legacy"). Bob's earliest known operating start date in available sources is 1993 ("Since 1993 Rebuilding Seminars has helped thousands heal", VoyageDenver interview snippet, surfaced via WebSearch).

4. Testimonial findings

4a. Bob's testimonial inventory (from rebuildingseminars.com)

Six text testimonials extracted from Bob's site pages. (Many more reviews exist on Bob's GBP, 293 at 5.0★, but they are not parseable from outside Google.)

ID Source URL Verbatim text Attribution
bob-T1 rebuildingseminars.com/ "Rebuilding Seminars was absolutely the best time and financial investment in myself, ever! This program meets you right where you are in the rebuilding process." Rebuilding Seminars graduate
bob-T2 rebuildingseminars.com/ "Amazing program and community. I highly recommend the 10 week seminar - a life changing journey. Bob Manthy and volunteers create a welcoming, safe, encouraging, and fun environment." Rebuilding graduate
bob-T3 rebuildingseminars.com/ "Rebuilding takes you through a deep process of valuable curriculum, helping you figure out personal patterns leading to unhealthy/unsustainable relationship dynamics." Rebuilding Seminars graduate

Plus three named-but-not-quoted video testimonials on the homepage (Chloe, Sue, Maggie), only first names; transcripts not in HTML.

4b. Google Business Profile reviews (Bob)

4c. Cross-reference matches between Bob's testimonials and rebuilders.net / rebuilding.net

Result: ZERO text matches.

Methodology Threshold Hits
difflib.SequenceMatcher ratio over a sliding window ≥ 0.75 0
Exact substring match on any 6-word sequence from any of Bob's 6 testimonials exact 0
Exact substring match on any 8-word sequence exact 0
Exact substring match on any 10-word sequence exact 0

Why the result is zero:

Caveat, video transcripts not analyzed. If counsel wants to verify whether rebuilders.net's video testimonials contain text that overlaps with Bob's GBP reviews or text testimonials, Charlie can:

  1. Drive Playwright through the /results-4544 page, capture each video element's manifest, download MP4s.
  2. Run the Whisper API against each MP4 to produce transcripts.
  3. Run the same fuzzy-match analyzer against the transcripts.

This was out of scope for this run because (a) it's expensive (10-15 videos × ~$0.30 = ~$5 in OpenAI Whisper costs), and (b) text testimonial overlap is the primary suspected vector, and 0 text hits is a meaningful negative result.

4d. Cross-reference Bob's testimonials → fisherrebuildingseminars.com (RB360) and fisherrebuildingseminar.com

Out of scope for this crawl, those are sibling domains, not the named subjects of Annette's brief. If counsel wants those crawled too, Charlie can extend crawler.py and re-run analyzer.py.

5. Bruce Fisher framework references on rebuilders.net

Independent of trademark concerns, rebuilders.net makes extensive lineage claims to Bruce Fisher's framework:

This is a complete claim of Fisher lineage for a derivative product, with rebuilders.net's own trademark layered on top (RIFT Recovery Method™). Whether they have permission to do this is the licensing-status question for counsel.

6. First-known-use evidence (incomplete, counsel action needed)

Wayback Machine could not be queried programmatically (Claude Code blocks web.archive.org). The following first-known-use signals were gathered from live sources:

7. Geographic + business overlap

Element rebuilders.net (Rebuilders International, LLC) rebuildingseminars.com (Bob)
Public business address None on homepage / about / contact 195 Second Ave., Niwot, CO 80544
Primary phone None on homepage / about / contact (720) 600-2763
Geographic focus claimed "Boulder origin" (Bruce Fisher); active landing page for Indiana on go2.rebuilders.net Niwot, CO + Denver (Cherry Creek), CO, Front Range Colorado
Delivery channels In-person + online + workbook + podcast (Rebuilders Workbook on Amazon, "The Rebuild" book) In-person 10-week seminar + online + private coaching + counseling
Class structure "10-Week Recovery Program" / Phoenix Academy + Graduate Program "10-Week Rebuilding Seminar" + Graduate community
Source-book attribution Bruce Fisher's Rebuilding When Your Relationship Ends Bruce Fisher's Rebuilding When Your Relationship Ends
Trademark class implicated IC 41 (educational services) most likely; IC 16 (printed materials) for workbooks Same

Geographic overlap is direct. Bruce Fisher's program originated in Boulder, CO. Bob operates 8 miles from Boulder (in Niwot) plus Denver. Rebuilders International acknowledges Boulder origin (per /about-us body text) and lists no public address, but their Indiana landing page is the only city/state-named page on their public site. If they run any classes in Colorado (live or virtual classes targeting Colorado attendees), the geographic-overlap component of likelihood-of-confusion analysis is essentially full overlap.

8. Open questions for counsel

These are facts only Bob, his counsel, or third parties (USPTO / RB360 / state corp registries) can confirm:

  1. Has Bob registered "Rebuilding Seminars" as a federal trademark? Date of application, date of registration, IC class(es) covered, current status (live / suspended / abandoned).
  2. Does RB360 hold federal registrations for "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar™" and/or "Rebuilding Seminar"? Counsel should run a USPTO TESS search on RB360, "Rebuilding Seminar," "Fisher Rebuilding Seminar," and adjacent strings.
  3. Is Rebuilders International, LLC a current authorized licensee of RB360? If yes, what are the territorial restrictions, the duration, the renewal status, and the audit / compliance terms?
  4. Did Bob acquire any trademark rights when he purchased the program from "Norm"? Specifically: was the mark transferred along with the goodwill of the business, or was it left behind?
  5. What is Bob's continuous use of the "Rebuilding Seminars" mark? Earliest advertising invoice / brochure / web capture / class flyer / participant receipt that uses the mark.
  6. Does Rebuilders International, LLC have a Colorado service area? Specifically: do they enroll Colorado residents in their online program; do they operate any in-person classes within Colorado; do they market to Colorado residents.
  7. Are there past licensing arrangements between RB360 / Bruce Fisher's heirs / Will Limón and Bob, or between any of them and Rebuilders International?
