Somewhere in LSUA, it said Ivan Lachrymose: Lake Explorer would be hidden under someone's bed. The Baudelaires find the book, which as we remember is VFD material, under Aunt Josephine's bed. That is proof enough Josephine or at least Ike or both are in VFD, n'est ce pas?

yes, thats true too in TSS LS mentions 'Ike Anwhistle' on a list of volunteers...maybe only Ike was a wolunteer and he was hiding tht secret from Josephine...? or maybe they were both volunteers and Josephine just played her "scared" act to disguise her true identity from the baudelaires, but I highly doubt this.

It's most likely they were in VFD, I'd say

I think one of them was in V.F.D., because I think Mr.Poe places the Baudelaires in a V.F.D. member's care each time (whether they were from either side of the schism) and Ivan wrote the book published by a V.F.D. press.

I think Ike is in V.F.D. but Josephine isn't. Ike could have just died (if he really died) before the Baudelaires went to Lake Lachrymose.

Mr. Poe did say that Aunt Josephine lost her husband recently. On the other hand, it was long enough that Aunt Josephine could say that she had stopped swimming in Lake Lachrymose and never went to the beach again, which seems the sort of thing you'd only say if some time had passed. More than a couple of weeks, anyway.

But don't V.F.D. somehow make Mr. Poe send the Bauds to safe places, and Josephine (I think) isn't in VFD, because also, in LSUA, it says, "send it to Ike." If Josephine was in VFD as well, it would probably say, "Josephine and Ike". BUT!! If the VFDers knew that Ike was dead, then why would they send the Bauds to Josephine, who I believe doesn't know about VFD. I may not make sense! Tell me what you think!

How does VFD influence where the children go? If the influence is a list that the Baudelaire parents wrote before their deaths, then the death of Ike would be after the list was written and Mr. Poe sent the children there anyway. Perhaps Count Olaf simply wrote his name at the head of the list before burning down the Baudelaire mansion. If the will were stored in a fire-proof box, we can understand how it withstood the fire and could have been read by Mr. Poe.

(sigh)Ike was in V.F.D.,and was supposed to tell them about V.F.D. but Count OLaf slaughtered him for that reason.

Aunt Josephine said that Ike was eaten by leeches for going swimming too soon after eating. She didn't specify that anyone else was there, but she didn't say he wasn't either.
Must check TWW tonight.

If Aunt Josephine WAS in V.F.D, then...well...I have a theory that goes along the lines that 'most people in V.F.D use false names'.

I had a theory in the works about that before TSS came out. A lot of the Baudelaires' guardians have connections to V.F.D., and I was about to take it further, but school started and I had papers to write every other week. I'm glad someone else noticed it, too...
