Since I can remember, I was told by my mother, Rosemary, that she descends from Commodore Isaac Hull the Captain of the Enterprise and U.S.S. Constitution. Six years ago my aunt Lillian confirmed this, she telling me she owned a book her father, Royal Rosamond, gave her with a handwritten inscription inside. Isaac married Ann…

I am now holding a Where Is Shamus? Detective Contest, and a Perilous Sea Art Contest. The winners will be included in my Art Show, and my book. After many years of looking at how my late sister, the world famous artist known as ‘Rosamond’, ended up in what she feared most – the sea…

Vicki Presco disappeared the house in Drew’s drawing – and the people that owned that house! I called my sister up and asked her for the names of the people who owned the house at Rocky Point. “Why do you want to know?” spat my little perturbed sister. Because I am thinking of going out…

The day before Christine’s funeral, Vicki and I are sitting at the dining room table in our late sister’s house talking about the accident. We make a diagram, or map of the place Christine was swept off the rocks. It is a top view and I we have placed four people in that bowl; Christine…

When all is said is done, I am probably over-qualified to be a father and a grandfather. Funny, critics of The Da Vinci Code say the same thing about Jesus. Small world. Before my daughter came into my life I started collecting children’s books. I owned a old copy of Alice in Wonderland. I had…

Three months ago my niece sent me a message on Facebook. She said she needed to talk to family. She asked me to have Drew Benton call her. I felt for her isolation, her exclusion, for this is what Vick and Mark Presco did to me when I asked too many good questions. When Vicki…

Five days ago I went to the University of Oregon Library. I had on my great overcoat with the faux fur collar. I wore my barrett with a round golden wreath. The young students were amazed, for I looked like Santa Claus Goes to College. How about Woden. Everyone wanted to know who I was,…

What are your fighting for? What is it you want? The truth? Or A name? Why have you awoken me? Who is my Judgement for? Did I not tell you I will not leave you as orphans in the world and in THE WORD? Behold the bite of the dragon that has awoken You So…

I have been looking trough old e-mail and court papers. I found an obituary for Garth Benton, whose full name is Paul Garfield Benton, the same as his father. There is a DNA test for the Benton family. I just found a Francis Marion Benton who lived in South Carolina, and appears to have been…
