When in DOUBT, Give TRAVEL ADVICE (Imagine: THIS Kenan trying to keep up with "THE JONESES" -- the BOB Joneses!!!)

 



 

>>> IN A SHOCKING NOT-NEW DEVELOPMENT, the Bob Joneses of Pennsylvania are running off to TUSCANY for two weeks AND MAY NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!!:


Hey Bob,


I knew it was soon -- convenient to escape OBAMACARE devouring the WORLD!!!
 

 
 
 
 
Funny thing is that I was going to try to CALL YOU in about five minutes -- knowing you soon leave. The important thing is that you know the Kenan progenitors ruled NORTHERN ITALY in the 500s -- and the Sinatras ruled southern Italy, Sicily then (why we co-own Bank of America, originally named Bank of Italy), so use BoA when possible!!!
 
 
 
 
 

 
I think you go mostly to Firenze & Sienna -- two places I know. I recommend you check out a lot of musical performances in left-over, de-sanctified Cathedral-sized churches (as many as two per block in Florence). They are cheap and EXCELLENT in my experience.
 
 
 

 
 
 
Also try EVERY flavor of gelato and find out what PIZZA REALLY IS!!! The candies are NOT TOO SWEET, so edible and FABULOUS.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Wandering in back alleys will get you lost most GLORIOUSLY. You will chance on things you thrill to -- and you can always find a way out.
 
 
 
 
 
 
things to do in florence
 

 
Please go to the bar upstairs in the back corner of the public market in Firenze -- and raise a toast to this nutball!!! This is where about 8 wizened old Italians declared me "HOLY" and insisted on buying me drinks!!!


 
THE FOOLS!!!


 
Anyway, I hope you and your wife have a BALL -- and that you know I DO like to think of cutting up on a stage with you (but ONLY with your wife's FULL APPROVAL and LACK of APPREHENSIONS!!!).

 
Scott

 
PS: BAD NEWS: I'm re-sending the latest posting because I IMPROVED IT so my points are more easily understood.

INTRANSIGENT!!!: Thomas S. Kenan III and Betty Kenan HATE GOD MORE THAN ANY OTHER RICH PEOPLE DO!!!

 
Betty Kenan (center), and her step-son Thomas S. Kenan III, prepare to plant a few "fig branches". http://www.mhaworks.com/page/newsevents/272874170357204112
 
 
 
While Tom Kenan now is MOST in control of the various Kenan Companies and Charitable Trusts (including his own), Betty and Tom Kenan CONTINUE to be the ONLY advertisers on FOX NEWS online with their solely-owned THE BREAKERS HOTEL, Palm Beach.
 
 
 
Fox News's ONLY ADVERTISERS for weeks now!!!
 
 
 
One exception: NO KENAN ADS (or others), in the whole "Latino News" section of FOX NEWS, absolutely PROVING BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT that Betty and Tom HATE LATINOS!!!



>>>ADDED Oct. 10: This "Ad War" thang is RESOLVED, to the benefit of Betty and Tom Kenan. See: http://scottkenan.blogspot.mx/2013/10/tom-betty-kenans-breakers-hotel-dropped.html .
 
 
I, Scott Kenan, could NOT disagree MORE with these two GOD-HATERS (and Pillars of the Episcopal Church Narco-Trafficking) !!!
 

 
* * * 


 
 
>>> IN OTHER MATTERS:

 

 
Mary Lily (Kenan) and Henry Flagler


1. It is a well known fact that Mary Lily (Kenan) Flagler inherited Henry Flagler's ENTIRE ESTATE in 1913, two years after Standard Oil was broken up, which caused the VALUE of all S.O. stock (split into the 34 or so derivative companies), to DOUBLE IN VALUE IN THAT FIRST YEAR due to the popularity of the break up.



How's THAT for "found money" -- public opinion DOUBLING your Wealth, which is FAR MORE than John D. Rockefeller EVER had -- and Americans THOUGHT Rockefeller was the WEALTHIEST MAN PERSON IN THE WORLD.



Boy, were THEY wrong -- HA!!!



I have seen DOZENS of accounts of who founded what and owned how much of S.O. Esso -- WILDLY DIFFERING REPORTS!!!, but according to Kenan sources, Flagler founded it with himself, Harkness (his first father-in-law), and John D. Rockefeller owning equal parts, Flagler eventually coming to control much of the Harkness portion as well.


And I remember studying this in late grade school, and RAILROAD ownership by Standard Oil (or maybe it was just that Flagler ALSO had a near monopoly of US railroads???), was part of the problem because S.O. had about half ownership of all major railroad stock in the USA. This article does not mention the railroad part: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil , and I know that besides owning the Florida East Coast Railroad, Flagler owned 40 - 60% interest in major railroads in the eastern half of the US -- leaving them to Mary Lily and the Kenan Family.



2. The BEST NEWS is that the Kenan Family put nearly all that money into Charitable Trusts -- which are self-owning, so Kenans do NOT sit on lists of the "richest", but control MORE MONEY THAN ANY OTHER FAMILY IN THE USA,TODAY!!!


And even BETTER, is that they had to appoint many FINE PEOPLE to the Charity Boards who KEEP THE KENAN HATRED OF RACIAL MINORITIES at bay -- PRAISE JESUS!!!


But the Thomas S. Kenan III Charitable Trust's current project of preserving native languages and cultures in Latin America is NOT MOVING MUCH, due to it being WINDOW DRESSING to make Tom look like something other than a TOTAL WHITE RACIST.



And Kenans have NO PROBLEM with homosexuality -- not only because Tom was one of the most SEXUALLY ACTIVE GAY MEN IN NORTH CAROLINA in his youth, but it seems to PERVADE OUR GENES!!!



 
William R. Kenan, Jr. -- quite the handsome bi-sexual, no???
 


And this is why there are so few Kenan-surnamed people. Even William R. Kenan, Jr., who served Flagler in everything NOT Standard Oil the same way Rockefeller served him running Esso -- and ACTUALLY is far more responsible for the development of Florida than was his boss Flagler -- married a nice "horsey" woman from up-state New York, produced no children in their long marriage, but after his wife died, Will moved in with his life-long, devoted male secretary, Scotty (not me).


Today (and for some years, unless things changed and I'm not aware of it), Tom, aged 75, has lived with his twenty-something boyfriend, Christopher, whose "Nuevo-Riche" Wilmington Drug Trash friends clued me to SOMETHING of what's ROTTEN IN THE KENAN KITCHEN!!!


3. Funny thing, is that I KNOW how that crap goes, due to my father and brother spending the GREAT BULK of their careers working for Sun Oil Company (SUNOCO) -- as did I for one summer of 1973, before Hilary Russell (at her greedy mother's insistence -- Barbara Russell a few years later made a DEAL with my mother that Hilary and I would GET MARRIED despite Barbara and my mother and EVERYONE ELSE knowing I am gay!!!), talked me into moving back to Cape May and we founded www.WhalesTaleCapeMay.com, which Hilary and her husband Charles Octavius Pritchard still own.


But Chuck and Hilary COOPERATED WITH MY NAZI MOTHER, and I got less than 1/4 the value of Whale's Tale -- and to INCREASE THE INSULT LATER, Chuck and Hilary ALWAYS made me pay for items there at GOOD DISCOUNT, but not nearly the "wholesale cost" that our CONTRACT STIPULATED!!!



If Chuck and Hilary BURN IN HELL, I will laugh. Too bad I don't believe in that shit, no???




 
J. Howard Pew



4. But the Pew Family who founded Sun Oil (never part of Standard Oil), spawned the highly regarded Pew Family Charitable Trusts and surveys, etc. I KNEW some Pew heirs and they ALL AGREE: J. Howard Pew was one of the most HATEFUL PEOPLE WHO EVER LIVED!!! He would turn over in his grave if he knew his money was used for POSITIVE THINGS!!!



Naturally, my father IDOLIZED J. Howard Pew (died in 1971, and truly a great business leader who opened the FIRST Canadian Oil Sands operation in 1967, Great Canadian Oil Sands (GCOS), but also supported RACISM, Billy Graham of North Carolina (one of the MOST EFFECTIVE GOD-HATING "subtle"-RACISTS EVER), and was (NO SURPRISE TO ME!!!), a Rock-Ribbed PRESBYTERIAN, First Presbyterian in Wilmington, NC and William R. Kenan, SENIOR its ELDER, PLANNED the ONLY literal Coup d'Etat that ever happened in the United States of America!!!








And then the "Wilmington Insurrection" led DIRECTLY to Southern Racist Democrats passing all the Jim Crow Laws across the South WITHIN TWO YEARS.




Billy Graham's career was FIRST BOOSTED by President Richard M. Nixon, WHILE NIXON WAS HAVING SEX WITH BEBE REBOZO!!!
 
 




>>> ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER that Walter Moore, Sr. Vice President of Collegiate Concepts and later Pentagon Publishing, Inc., who ALWAYS pretended he was retired Army when selling at both Collegiate Concepts and the later www.pentagon-usa.com, loved to BRAG TO ME that he was best friends with MANY Sun Oil Executives when he spent most of his life in Cherry Hill, NJ.


IN FACT, Walter, my father (who lived with me temporarily then -- 1990), and Patrick Stansbury PLOTTED AND DESTROYED the Jew-Owned Collegiate Concepts (actually a very ethical company), in a FAKE investigation of "Charities" -- because Eileen and Russell Smith GAVE 50% of what they thought they could raise for the Fraternal Order of Police UP FRONT at contract signings, and the FOP got 25% from Collegiate Concepts while ALL OTHER SUCH FUND-RAISERS gave 10% to the actual "charity" or group.


During that time, Martha Woodard -- or Woodward -- (a long-time "Society" columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, then), CALLED ME AT HOME raising funds for MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), and BRAGGED that MADD was able to get the HUGE 12 %!!!



See more here: http://scottkenan.blogspot.mx/2013/01/nailing-devils-coffin-shut-permanently.html .



And that PLOT to destroy CCI involved local TV station 5, which RAN VIDEO NIGHTLY FOR A WEEK, of ME giving Patrick Stansbury's VERBATIM PITCH, horrifying me and embarrassing me TOTALLY!!!



(I literally was too embarrassed to go ANYWHERE except work or the grocery for THREE YEARS!!!)




But when the SMOKE CLEARED, Patrick, Dad, and Walter Moore had STOLEN THE ENTIRE BUSINESS, and TV-5 (for years the ATL CBS affiliate), became FOX ATLANTA, and CBS was relegated to a UHF station -- REALLY!!!


* * *



5. But HERE is the irony: In the late 1960s, Dad managed to get a couple of actual Board Room Chairs from Mr. Pew's downtown Philadelphia HQ when it was being renovated -- hard solid and with arms, those sculpted walnut chairs were COMFORTABLE. I eventually got possession of one of them -- and wrote the first eight-of-twelve major drafts of WALKING ON GLASS/CONSUMING BROKEN GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS in Mr. Pew's CHAIR --



HA!!!



You can now READ IT FOR FREE, here: http://laterdaysoftennesseewilliams.blogspot.mx/ , although GOOGLE could NOT FIND THIS SITE just now, and my computer lost internet connection when I first tried to go there just now, MANY PEOPLE ARE FINDING IT AND READING MY BOOK, now (if Google Statistics is not LYING TO ME, AS USUAL!!!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Reading, August 9, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (Kindle Edition)
Tennessee Williams was a quirky man. We all knew that. Just how quirky he was and what he was like to live and work with is the subject of this hilarious though at times painfully sad memoir of observing the physical, emotional and psychological deterioration of a genius.

Scott Kenan shows a lot of class and grace in his memories. Though let go under dubious circumstances he remains a loyal employee and friend to one of the 20th Century's towering artistic figures.

4.0 out of 5 stars 10's SLOW SLIDE DOWN, May 22, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (Kindle Edition)
if you love the plays and idea of Tennessee Williams achieving the greatness he deserved this account of his later days when he kept trying, accompanied by desperation omnipotent to write brilliantly, again, WALKING ON GLASS is a chronicle of both sadness and forced hope. The people Williams chose to surround him at the end greased the inevitable slide, and Scott Kenan was a companion, certainly not evil, but not exactly the needed angel of help. Some may find this memoir too full of its author to fully satisfy, but it is a chronicle that must be read if you loved Williams.

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this book based on the first 2 pages., December 7, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (Kindle Edition)
Being a life-long admirer of the work of Tennessee Williams, I thought this book may bring a particularly different insight into a man whose life was mainly shrouded in secrecy. To my delight, the author was able to take me back in time and put me in the "room" with Tennessee Williams. This book is extraordinarily well written and allows the reader to "see" or be a "fly on the wall" during the final years of Mr. Williams life. It is remarkably candid and appears to be an unbias telling of the real story of the great and often eccentric and manic author/playwright. And even though I now know some of the secrets Mr. Williams tried so hard to keep, the writer does not damage the character of the author but leaves you with a broader understanding of just who penned some of the most remarkable stories of the generation and gives you the hunger to read everything ever written by Tennessee Williams.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful trip!, December 2, 2012

B. Preece (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (Kindle Edition)
After I finished reading this book, Walking on Glass: A Memoir of the Later Days of Tennessee Williams, I am very happy to say that the author, Scott Kenan took me on quite a wonderful trip back through Key West and my days there. I lived there from the beginning of the 80's thru the 90's. If you have been to Key West you know of its rich history and of Tennessee Williams. While reading this book you may just feel the sun's warmth while riding a bicycle or smell the sweet blossoms that bloom year round in this wonderful paradise. The author recreates the best and possibly the worst of Key West and getting to know Mr. Williams will be a great treat for anyone. If you like to read about the life of a great personality, some old Hollywood and some wonderful name dropping of celebrities, grab this book and escape. It was a brilliant time in Key West and on Broadway and stage. Mr. Kenan's writing rekindles the 1980's with ease. Thanks for the great trip back, I wanted to stay.

This book will not add a lot to Tennessee scholarship but it does confirm a picture of the man we have read about in other biographies. Strictly for the Williams fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!!, August 21, 2011
This review is from: WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (Kindle Edition)
This book is a vivid glimpse into a genious that few people had the chance to know on such a personal and daily basis. Kenan took me inside some of the last days of Tennessee Williams' life. Williams, an extremely talented, yet emotionally vulnerable playwright, struggled with both the good and bad aspects of his fame, his talent and his homosexuality. I almost feel like I knew him, too, after reading this short but fascinating first hand account of Williams' last days. I am very sorry that I could not purchase this as a hard cover book. I'd love to have it on my bookself to lend or just pick up and read again as I am a fan of 'real' books more than ebooks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walking on Glass: A Memoir of the later days of Tennessee Williams, August 8, 2011
By 
John Bolinger (Hammond, IN United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WALKING ON GLASS: A MEMOIR OF THE LATER DAYS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS (Kindle Edition)
WALKING ON GLASS is a masterpiece of the biographer's art, partly because it is rigorously researched, but also because it is exquisitely written by someone who was able to appreciate TW's genius while understanding the artist's weaknesses compassionately with a distance of well over twenty years to buffer any hero worship that may otherwise have occurred. The book glitters with recollections of meetings with the many celebrities who populated TW's life, but the writing is always tempered by a keen intelligence that is able to see things as they actually are without any gushing glorification, which would in any case be affected and certainly unnecessary in conveying the artistic genius and personal life of America's greatest playwright. I have read the book more than once, but its luster never ceases to engage my mind and heart.

Tennessee Williams with Ghost, an image by Mark Beard (close friend of Tennessee's NYC best male friend Vassilis Voglis), will grace the cover of my book of this material -- eventually.




 
Mark Beard (on right), 2013.
 
 
 
 
 
Clockwise from bottom left: Georg Osterman, Mark Beard -- in Art School then (recovering from his recent escape from his Mormon TOP BANKING FAMILY -- as well as being great-grandson of one of the three people Joseph Smith dictated the Book of Mormon to), Vasillis Voglis (Tennessee's best male friend in New York who had inherited his male lover's fortune, previously inherited from lover's dad, the President of the New York Stock Exchange), me, Black-Eyed Susan (of Ridiculous Theater fame), Jane Smith (lifelong Williams friend and widow of sculptor Tony Smith, who had as a dancer PREMIERED OKLAHOMA! on the stage and later performed mostly in Europe. Jane was my TOP supporter of the NYC crowd), unknown, Tennessee Williams, and more people unknown to me now.
 
 
 
 
>>> ADDED LATER: Mark Beard has contacted me to remind me that the "unknowns" in the photo above were all associated with the Ridiculous Theater (or Theatrical), Company -- which both Georg Osterman and Mark Beard were very much involved in.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Does the "Ridiculous Theater" survive in NYC, today??? For the answer, see here: http://dramaqueennyc.com/category/theatre/off-off-broadway/ .
