Stella,

I had the same problem yesterday and so I may be able to help here.
*My fix was to reimport the key EF6E 286D DA85 EA2A 4BA7  DE68 4E2C 6E87
9329 8290 from a recent copy as I think it has been edited to extend the
expiration date.*
I cut and paste into GPA from
https://keys.openpgp.org/vks/v1/by-fingerprint/EF6E286DDA85EA2A4BA7DE684E2C6E8793298290

My guess is they have done an EDIT on the key to extend the *expiration
date*. I know they have done this on past occasions.
