RP: Do YOU, Gentle Reader, Recall that I Actually Had a Brief Snail-Mail Correspondence with Coretta Scott King in 1990???

RE-PRINTED from herehttp://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2016/01/do-you-gentle-reader-recall-that-i.html



Happy Birthday, Breakers! The historic resort first opened it's doors on January 16, 1896... celebrating 120 years today.

Now in its second century, The Breakers continues the tradition of excellence begun by its founder, Henry Morrison Flagler. Learn more: http://bit.ly/BreakersHistory


In 1896, Flagler built a second hotel, The Palm Beach Inn on the beachfront of the Royal Poinciana. Soon guests requested rooms "over by the breakers."  When Flagler redoubled the hotel's size, he renamed it The Breakers. During an expansion project - the fourth in less than a decade - The Breakers burned down on June 9, 1903. Less than a year later on February 1, 1904, it reopened to universal acclaim. Rooms started at four dollars a night, including three meals a day.
The guest register read like a "who's who" of early twentieth century America - Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Astors, Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan vacationed alongside United States presidents and European nobility.
On March 18, 1925, twelve years after Flagler's death, tragedy struck The Breakers. Fire destroyed the all-wood building. Flagler's heirs (The Kenan Family centered now around Durham/Chapel Hill), were determined to build the world's finest resort as a testament to his vision - and to reopen in time for the 1926-27 winter season.
The New York City-based Turner Construction Company began work in January 1926, modeling the new building after the Villa Medici in Rome.

Seventy-five artisans were brought from Italy to complete the magnificent paintings on the ceilings of the 200-foot long main lobby and first-floor public rooms. Far grander than its predecessor, The Breakers remains an unrivaled masterpiece

Two years ago, THE BREAKERS used this photo to promote gay weddings at the Kenan Hotel!!!

And as I believe my readers will remember, previous to that, I had HOUNDED the Breakers upper management (using my last name, Tennessee Williams connection, and that to the Kennedys, Reagans, Sinatras, etc. to PUFF UP as if I were someone important), but got them to STOP buying about 85% of the advertising on www.FoxNews.com -- which The Breakers had done for years.



More on all of that (including how Elton John lost nearly ALL his "Gay Cred", by playing at The Breakers at Drug-Rush Limbaugh's FOURTH serial wedding!!!) -- and even my letter to Mr. Leone is includedhttp://theweathercontinues.blogspot.mx/2015/04/having-confronted-my-cia-nemesis.html



Within the last month, I've met TWO Costco Food Demonstrators here in Wilmington, who have paid to stay at The Breakers -- and both gave it RAVE REVIEWS for service, history, and ART COLLECTIONS!!! 

>>> NOW, WHERE WERE WE??? 

The FIRST thing I need to do is to ASSURE my lawyer, Bruce A. Mason, hot alpha-male extraordinaire, that I'm counting on his SENSE OF HUMOR.



Bruce

The most important thing to remember is what my old pal Andy Warhol hath said:



Warhol is also famous for saying, "All publicity is good publicity" -- which is TRUE, as people will remember your name, but not the story associated with it, at least not well enough to matter.

That said, if Mr. Mason calls, snail or e-writes me, asking me to change his name or identity, I will gladly do it -- and no doubt with an unexpected FLOURISH (even to me). 


Most recently, my diet has IMPROVED (see: http://jezebel.com/5646243/swap-your-prozac-for-semen)and I'm feeling more "GOOD WILL TOWARD ALL", so I am thinking I might not take any local LEGAL ACTIONS -- even against David Nash or Benjamin R. David, the D.A.!!!


I would "cut to the (TRUE) chase" -- in Cook County Courts (Chicago)!!!

And HERE is where in my blog I recount Andy Warhol's giving Jane Smith, Maria St. Just (nee Britneva), Maria's daughter (whose husband DESIGNED Andy's "New Factory"), and me, a long tour of BOTH Old and New Factories: http://laterdaysoftennesseewilliams.blogspot.mx/2013/10/epilogue_22.html 


>>> A FEW UPDATES:


1. I had a 42,5 minute ROLLICKING GOOD conversation with "Testosteroni" this morning -- followed by my leaving messages for my brother and two sisters -- just trying to "test the waters".


No response, yet . . . 

2. My friend Dewain was NOT the person who was D.A. Ben David's part-time gardener in 2011. Must have been someone very close in stature, appearance, and behaviors.


3. Both Curtis "Robbie" Anderson -- the guy I dated in 1985 in Carolina Apartments while Blue Velvet was being filmed:




 . . . and Robbie had been Thomas S. Kenan III's most previous long-term lover -- and Averyl "Ace" McDaniels have NOT communicated at ALL, after they BOTH, in the last month, invited me to link to them on LINKED-IN. I did link to both and send both personal messages, but ACE (possibly taken aback by my sexual advances in Puerto Vallarta), and Robbie (likely a TOTAL CHRISTIAN WHITE SUPREMACIST)have not responded to my messages.

Burgaw Presbyterian has NO non-white faces on its website, PERIOD!!! http://www.burgawpresbyterian.org/



And FIRST PRESBYTERIAN, Wilmington has no NON-WHITE faces (other than employees)http://www.firstonthird.org/



I think it SHOCKING that this PROVEN RACIST CONGREGATION (beginning with the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898, continuing in 2011, when then pastor Ernie Thompson BRAGGED TO ME how he scared off a black couple who wanted to join -- the man a retired full Colonel in the US Army (and he and his wife were my friends), has SO MANY Wilmington Officials!!!


1. D.A. Benjamin R. David is an ELDER.

2. New Hanover County Commission Head, Beth Dawson is an elder (according to her bio on the County website, but I just noticed that she is NO LONGER listed as such on the church site -- her husband having been BUSTED and JAILED in South Carolina about six weeks ago for "Soliciting Prostitution").

But I must ALSO say, that Beth was elected Head of the County Commission by the DEMOCRATS on it (I guess Democrats like women with "LOOSE HUSBANDS"-- and it is SAID that the Republican Party is ready to DISOWN HER -- not for that, but for siding always with Democrats -- LOL!!!

3. Judge Lindsey Luther is a Deacon (the WORST of Wilmington's corrupt politicians, but I've ragged on her enough, lately).

4. Judge Jeffrey Noecker was a Deacon until recently -- and I'm more inclined to give him a "neutral", now.




>>> ON MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR WEEKEND:


I did NOT find my letter to Coretta Scott King -- or her response, although I've recently seen them (written in 1990). However, I found letters written that year to, among others, President Jimmy Carter, Sen. Richard Lugar (Republican of Indiana who is like me an alum of Denison University, and he endowed a Political School there), And Georgia Senator Sam Nunn.

I don't believe I've mentioned this COINCIDENCE on blog before, but that was the year that top Jewish business leaders in Atlanta first told me that my parents were LITERALLY America's TOP NAZIS (it was 2010 when I first blogged this, leading to the Reiner Family of Hollywood making me an "Honorary Jew").

But FUNNIEST, was that the BIGGEST THING claimed against me to support that I was "BIPOLAR" in Democrat Dekalb County Court Judge Linda Warren Hunter's Court



 (ALL listings on this were ERASED from the County's database about two years ago, although I have the original signed paperwork still), was that I had "HYPERGRAPHIA" (means "he writes too much"-- then actually LISTED in the PDR as a symptom of MANIA.

Well, it took until 2003 for me to begin writing my memoir:




And THAT (then and there)RELEASED me from the horrid clutches of "Hypergraphia, the Symptom of Mania" to a NEW life as a PROFESSIONAL WRITER!!!
