Dear Father Hurley,

My name is Scott David Kenan and I live in Wilmington. My 96-year-old mother, Ruth Anne (Meyer) Kenan, is in your congregation, and my father, William Scott Kenan, is in your columbarium. I previously wrote you a letter on February 26, 2017, which neither you nor an assistant replied to. I must have been confused in copying Bishop Burbidge in Virginia – I can’t remember why I chose him. Today, I have made much progress in untangling the lifetime of unusual adventures, primarily because of the accident of my birth – and having my parents – and reached a greater understanding from which to ask your help – if it becomes necessary.

You have now lived in Raleigh long enough to know something of the history of my Kenan Family centered there, that co-founded UNC Chapel Hill, and later inherited control of Standard Oil from Henry Flagler (now Exxon-Mobil), and control Bank of America, Kenan Advantage Group (the largest trucking company in the USA, Canada, and Mexico), the Ku Klux Klan, Republican Party and “Clinton Democrats”.

My first Letter to you was excellent at spelling out our and my history, and it is published on my Political Blog where you can read it (my blog has now had well over 1.5 million registered hits) – maybe for the first time, if you were previously prevented from receiving it. My mailed letters and emailed letters did NOT always get to their destinations back then, but that is LESS often a problem today: http://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2017/02/my-letter-emailed-and-snail-mailed-to.html.

I am writing to ask you to do something – only if necessary – as my mother, although extraordinarily resilient (at nearly 97 she still drives to Mass and bridge club every week, and complains that the 40-year-olds can’t keep up with her game – LOL!!!).and DESPITE our sometimes EXTREME problems (she first worked with my employer 1990 – 2010, a major Drug Trafficker in Georgia and beyond trying to commit me to Mental Hospitals and could not after five tries in one month, but my close friend Col. Dorothy Newman (retired Chief Protocol Officer to Secretary of State Colin Powell), had to get me to Political Exile in Mexico in spring 2010, I returned to Wilmington to EXPOSE my family’s Drug Trafficking crimes about 1/1/2011, but was forced to homelessness here and the local D.A. Ben David (an Elder at First Presbyterian, married and I knew his BOYFRIEND as well as his Drug Trafficking), falsely convicted me of crimes and stole copyright to my memoir of working for Tennessee Williams that Scott Rudin and the producers of all the Harry Potter films were looking to buy movie rights to.

I also tied first place in my high school in PA for college boards – Math and Science – and with a partial scholarship to Denison University in Ohio, I changed major to Art halfway into sophomore year, and won a US State Department contest and my prints are now hung is 30 US Embassies and Consulates around the world. I also co-founded http://WhalesTaleCapeMay.com with partners whom I sold out to after five years, and been successful in restaurant management for 12 years and commission-ONLY sales of advertising in the yearbooks of the US Service Academies, War Colleges, and Maritime Academies for twenty years, so no slouch – but my mother thinks I have to be DRUGGED INTO NOT TALKING about her beating the CRAP out of us and loving Swastikas while we grew up – and she and Dad conspired with Republicans.

All of that is too complicated to get into without writing nearly a book. In my last Letter, I sent Lt. Gen. Russel Honore’s contact info (he knows all about the Kenan Family corrupting Atlanta Politics), and while I am no longer a practicing Catholic, I honor what Jesus taught, and have donated to a Catholic Charity in Atlanta that Gen. Honore’ sits on the Board of – as well as Tileson Charities (run at St. Mary’s Catholic here in Wilmington by now retired Sister Mary Isaac Koenig (a true friend of mine), and I was tithing from sales of my memoir of working for Tennessee Williams (now free to read here – with both professional and Amazon customer reviews: http://laterdaysoftennesseewilliams.blogspot.com/), but at that time I was actually HOMELESS (I’m not now, but BARELY scraping by) and was so good at panhandling without a sign, that I tithed 10% of that TOO to Sister Isaac (the charity is now called the Sister Isaac Center).

Please Father, my mother has repeatedly stepped in to destroy my life since she found out in the mid-1970s that I am Gay. Mom has three times apologized for “messing up my life and causing me so much pain”, but she is NEVER specific, and makes no actual amends. I know how the Catholic Church feels about Gay people (OK – if you stay celibate), but that is NO REASON for Mom to – even in the last half year – try to make certain I did NOT have money to buy my heart meds, and tell me she HOPED I had to go homeless again last winter.

January 2019, a Gastroenterologist committed me to the local mental hospital on LIES – because I upset his staff talking about how Christian Churches run much of the drug trafficking here – and I got out in record time after the two top shrinks saw that was all LIES – the same ones my mother has aggressively called and insisted were true to Law Officials and Judges in Georgia years ago, and in North Carolina now.

Mom and I are BOTH super-smart. Mom ran Procter and Gamble’s Chemistry Labs when they got Dr. Mengele’s research on Concentration Camp victims, and I believe worked with the CIA in what then was called Project Paperclip, MK Ultra (furtherance of NAZI Mind Control). We had Swastikas (small and pastel) rimming our everyday dinner china in the late 1950’s until about 1985, and moved to Columbus, Ohio in 1968 to live cross the street from Coach Lou Holtz – and my parents with Lou and Beth Holtz did much planning for the NAZI take-over of the USA. Holtz went on to be John Boehner’s top co-strategist.

My father claimed HE put Sen. Jesse Helms into power, and in 2010, ALSO worked with Newt Gingrich and Sean Hannity – and Dad had worked intimately and in person with my boss for twenty years when I sold ad space in Military Yearbooks, who also distributed the Hard Drugs flown into Maxwell AFB from Maine to Florida, but especially in Wilmington and Atlanta.

What I REALLY want you to do – only if Mom gets on her HIGH HORSE FOR JESUS and the CATHOLIC CHURCH”, again, and tries to force me penniless and homeless again, that YOU have a talk with her and GENTLY try to get her to see this as NOT supporting my SINFUL, HOMO, LIBERAL ways, but as “humanitarian aid” like Catholic Charities help those in need without condemning them for their God-given sexuality – or being drug addicted (which I am not -- I even quit cigs after 49 years -- but I feel like RODNEY DANGERFIELD -- I get NO RESPECT!!!).

I had actually thought I should write Bishop Zarama, about this too, but he’s from Latin culture and not long in Raleigh, so I thought HIS boss, the Archbishop of Atlanta, Wilton Gregory, but I see he has been called to Washington, DC, and he – and maybe Zarama who’d been in Atlanta for a good time – KNOW about my Kenan Family’s Roman Catholic WEALTHY branch that lives there, James Graham Kenan’s Catholic wife gave MUCH to the Catholic Cathedral there (they lived near “Jesus Junction” -- where Andrews Drive empties onto Peachtree Road, and both Catholic and Episcopal Cathedrals are right there. I lived in Atlanta 1983 - 2010.

I have GOT to get some kind of response from Catholic Clergy. Mom insists her actions to falsely commit me beginning in 1978 when I would not shut up about her Swastikas and daily beatings – and later meetings with all kinds of mostly Catholic ultra-conservative Republicans (and she had three private audiences with Popes in Rome, two of them with John Paul II), she claimes are IN LINE with Jesus’s and the Catholic Church’s teachings, and I find that is untrue.

If she HATES Homosexuality, then she should just have no sex with women. LOTS of Gays have sex and take Catholic Communion, so WHY can’t I be allowed to live unmolested?

I love Mom dearly – and typically we keep our conversation to things we agree on – but she no longer has many real friends, and her relatives that she knew have died. My sister Jane lives near her and over-looks things. What I REALLY need is understanding from a CATHOLIC. From my reading about Archbishop Wilton Gregory, he sounded actually PERFECT with his approach of gentleness and inclusion, but from what I saw about new investigations into the Atlanta Diocese – and he’s being COUNTED ON to clean-up Bishop McCarrick’s (and Cardinal Wuerl’s) mess in Washington, I doubt that I will write him.

Sadly, this crime of sex with children is now being found to be a problem among Fundamentalists as much as with Catholics – and THEY can marry spouses, so THAT is not it!

I wish you all the best, and would appreciate the favor of a reply. If you can’t handle me, I’ll be happy to go higher up (or maybe a “Parochial Vicar” -- y’all’s titles are so DIFFERENT than when I grew up in the 50s and 60s). I am completely serious.

I will email this to you, my siblings so they know just what I sent, and my second email address – then tomorrow make any corrections or additions, then print and mail it to you.

Thank you,


Scott D. Kenan

Cell: (910) 200-XXXX

I check into the hospital for three days to add a heart medication that must be monitored at first on Tuesday 9/24/2019. I am copying my three siblings and my other email address, and I’m sure anyone in my family would be happy to give you their perspective. We all grew up Catholic, and most of us had eight years in Catholic schools, Julie (duffyjr3@ha-ha.com) is the only one of us still practicing Catholicism – besides Mom.
