Prince Jackson Rosamond Wood
Why didn’t Prince have a Will? Surely his attorneys would make him author a Will – for many reasons! Long term contracts were being made. Prince went on tour – in his own jet. I believe my sister had two Wills. Her divorce attorney filed a claim in the Bankruptcy, and gave Vicki permission to…

Wide Awakes and the Turners
On May 1st. I attended ‘An African American Music Heritage Showcase’ at the Hult Center. http://registerguard.com/rg/entertainment/arts/34293383-60/gospel-taken-back-to-its-roots.html.csp “Eric Richardson, chairman of the Eugene-Springfield chapter of the NAACP, will be the master of ceremonies, with appearances by Habib Iddrisu and Friends of the UO School of Music and Dance, praise dancer Shakela Fortson, Stone Cold Jazz, and…

Emperor Norton
With my revelations about Victor Emanuel and the Belmont Colony, Emperor Norton, and myself, appear less – MAD! Ken Kesey was doing Norton, but didn’t become the tourist attraction the Emperor was. This article explores his relationship with Mark Twain and Bret Harte, who took part in Jessie Benton’s Salon at Black Point. Her husband,…

My Odd Fellow Kindred Evicted From Graves
Originally posted on Rosamond Press: At great expense to himself, my great-grandfather, William Suttmeister, moved the bodies of his wife and kindred from the Laurel Hill cemetery in San Francisco to a tomb in Colma where I brought my daughter and grandson so they can own their heritage. These bodies were evicted from their graves.…

Dimond Oaktoberfest
Originally posted on Rosamond Press: I just discovered the Dimond District of Oakland is celebrating Oktoberfest a traditional German celebration. The Presco Children spent much time playing in Dimond Park and shopped in Dimond where our great grandfather, William Broderick, and his wife, Alice Stuttmiester-Broderick, lived. Above is a post card addressed to Willie using the…

Oakland Tommy
Originally posted on Rosamond Press: ? I just found out my ex-wife lived on College Avenue – IN OAKLAND – with Thomas Pynchon. They lived in a big apartment building located next to ‘Ye Olde Hut’ where I did a lot of drinking with my friends, including Paul Drake who Mary Ann encouraged to take up acting. Paul claims he…

Geronimo, Lagunitas, and Woodacre
William Oltman Stuttmeister went to the University of California and practiced dentistry in San Francisco. He bought two vacation properties in San Geronimo where he retired and died. The Maillard, Count Cipriani, Napoleon, and Prince Victor Napoleon connection is interesting. Is this the continuation of the Belmont Colony? Was this land purchased with a recovered…

Post-Fab Tanforan History
There was/is no reason to name a racetrack after Toribio Tanforan. This is bullshit invented to hide the Turners – THE TURNVEREIN GERMANS – who went to Belmont Park on the train, and to the horse races. Germans love horses and race tracks. TURNVEREIN TANFORAN Torbria may have been A Prussian from Chile – who was…

Queen and Princess Charlott
It is alleged Princess Charlotte was named after Queen Charlotte that some suggest was of negroid descent. How curious is it that a black slave is kneeling before Charlotte offering her a basket of roses, from which she chooses one. There is no doubt that Queen Elizabeth is PICKING the names of her grandchildren and…

Turn Verein Cottages
Originally posted on Rosamond Press: I suspect the Tanforan Cottages are two of the six portable houses that Carl Jake brought about the cape on a Clipper Ship and set of up south of San Francisco. I assumed they were erected in Belmont, but, I just read there was a theme park called ‘The Willows’…
