In 1987 I became a Nazarite. In 1990 I talked to rabbi at the Hillel Center in Eugene, about converting to Judaism. Here is what a Nazarite is about.

The Great Reversal Has Arrived
Posted on February 16, 2012 by Royal Rosamond Press
When I tried to become a Christian at forty years of age, I was asked to leave the Christian church at McKenzie Bridge by a man who I thought was my friend, who said this;
“As a Christian, I am bid to love you. But, that doesn’t mean I have to like you.”
I had suggested to him a week earlier that the grove of trees next to the church would be a wonderful place for folks up river to hear the Inspiration Gospel Choir that my childhood friend, Marilyn, sang in. What a look I got, that told me the old peckerwoods in the logging industry won’t like black folks singing in their trees.
A few weeks later I Baptize myself in the McKenzie River, after write on a piece of paper “I am a Nazarite’. A week later, I find ‘My People’ in South Africa. I sent them a letter.
A few weeks later I have a psychic reading, and am told this;
“You own your own creation – You died!”
I am coming to understand that Jesus was killed just after his ministry began. Just after he read from Isaiah, the Jews grabbed him and tried to throw him off a cliff. Allegedly, he got away. The introduction of Lazarus to the story of Jesus has confused Biblical scholars. I believe he is included for the reason the original Church was saying their Lord and Rabbi was raised from the dead – and was with them for months! Was he then crucified for saying he was of the dead, and had come to raise the dead into the New Heaven and Earth?
The Shembe Zulu live in the shadow of the Drankeburg mountians where the arks arrive to found a new earth in the movie 2012.
One day, Marilyn dropped in unexpecedty.I was reading the Bible. When I opened the door, she was startled;
“Your face! It’s all white! your glowing!”
The Great Reversal has arrived!
“The last will be first,and the first will be last!”
Jesus himself was gathering the Gentiles that had at one time helped the Jews, and had been considered Jews. What need of Paul? The Shembe Zulu……………..are The Last!
I warned you at Christmas when a great star appear in the heaven. Repent!
The prophet Shembe got it right, that Jesus was the Liberator Redeemer of the Jews. His Nazarites contacted the Hasidic Jews in order to be recognized as Children of God. They were ignored. But, I hear you my brothers and sisters. Come, let us prepare THE WAY for our Lord. Bring out the Ark of the Covenant! Let us see our Lord before we die!

Black Turnverein
Posted on July 17, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
Yesterday, I admitted I have gotten out of shape due to COVID-19. Today I founded the Black Turnverein Channel that hopefully will be broadcast across America. Many black athletes will not be taking the field in our Nation’s colleges. I moved to Springfield fourteen years ago and bonded with some of the black Oregon Ducks. For awhile there was a group of blacks who met near the playground to do exercise. I joined them. I was seventy years – young!
With the coming of Black Live’s Matter, the whole world is looking at major issues that can, and will change the course of world history. It was traditional for Turnverein Clubs to hold debates of all kinds. These German immigrants go involved in our Democracy and served in the Union Army and helped defeat the Confederate Conspiracy – which is still alive! With my discovery my kin, John Fremont, formed the Radical Democracy Party in order to get Abraham Lincoln to drop out of the rice, opens up a huge field of topics in regards to how thoroughly black slaves were oppressed in the United States.
I would like to see the Black Panthers found a Black Turnverein in Oakland California. There is talk about armed Black Militias. My kin, Carl Janke, founded a Turnverein in Belmont and San Francisco where a armed Vigilante Committee may have been preparing to fight the Confederacy – as well as maintaining Law and Order. These issue are up! This history has returned.

Om November 1, at 3:20 P/M. I went to the managers of McKenzie Meadows that is owned by Umbrella Properties, in hope they had the answer to this question…
HOW DOES ONE GET UN-INVITED TO HALLOWEEN BY OUTSIDERS THAT DON’T LIVE HERE?
I was armed with this truth….
EVERYONE EVERYWHERE IS INVITED TO HALLOWEED – EVEN THE DEAD!
So, how did at least one person come to own the power to un-invite me to Halloween while walking on my promises – AND THEY DON’T LIVE HERE? They do rent a garage, however! I think they rent for $90 a month. You cant’ live in your garage. They are rented to – STORE YOUR STUF IN! As I was grilled by two women managers. One manager wanted proof Jill and Kevin set up a canopy outide of their garage. She wanted me to e-mail her pics of it. I gues my work isnt any good after living her for thwetny one years. I showed them this video.
– one who lives here – what my beef was, and why I was wasting there time, omne suggested you could do some activities in your garage.
These Garage Hogs were conducting an acti.niuty – OUTSIDE THEIR GARAGE -m a common area, where traditionally I take my walk. I used to take the neighborhood cats with me on my famous walks,
Above is a photo of Alberta. We had a garage nex to one another. I took her to Cowboy Chursh in Junction City. She drove me in he Jaguar to a cemetery where she wanted me to buy tge plot next to hers, so we will reast side by side – for an eternity! Berte passed at 99. We played poker in the rec room with other seniors, who are gong. I have been here for 21 years. I own many memories. I have been authring books. I am a Otrgan Historian. and I am authoring a very long autobiography.
Above is a photograph of Will who I blieve is kin to Junior, who was my enighbor, and rented the garage The Usurpers have rented for two months. I has a garden space with this couple. There were big prbo;e, and much trouble. One day the woman suggests we do art in the graden, and I can teach her. I agree, and am shocked to see her husband has set up a canopy with tables full of art supplies.Five minutes later she is showing me a car blown up with dynamite that appeared in the newspaper. She said her relaitive was bombed because he was a child molestor. She starts crying as she names other child molesotrs in her family. I tell her I am in therapy for incest in my family that OUTSISDERS WROTE TWO BOOKS ABOUT FOR MONEY! I suggested she get into therapy and she did not like that idea.
When we were leaving the garden, her mother drives up!
“Oh. Here’s my mother. Come and meet her. Mom, this is John….ROSAMOND’S BROTHER!”
Alarm bells went off. How did this mother know about my world famous sister, Christine Rosamond? Was I…..BEING USED! This woman told me she is writing a autobiography, and show me AI Art she like. Was she attaching her un-fampus history to….MY FAMOUS HISTORY! I gane he strong himts I did not want this to happen because Rosamond’s Art Legacy blongs to her daughters, who have battled each other in court fofr many years. Three mopnths ago Drew Benton had a brutal death. Her friends and co-workers do not buy suicide. One friend told me my niece took leave from Walmart because her stalker got out of priosn where he was sent for putting Drew on the top of his “kill list”
I told the woman who held her private Hallowen for her family in the road of where I live, that Drew boyfirens and friends, did not know her parents were famous. They were suprised. The police had trouble locating next of kin. Tbhis is because Drew saw that people treated her diffemrntly when thwy knew she was the duaghter of TWO FAMOUS ARTISTS!

Dear Governor Dobbs
I wrote you on and asked for your help, Hence I received the autopsy report on and have been in shock. I suffer from PTSD, and barely got through what appears to be a case of TORTURE, that my niece survived, only to die in the hospital of cardiac arrest two hours later. I am not an expert, but it looks like none of her injuries were life threatening. The idea of people dying from sheer terror has been around since the dawn of time. I have sent you the autopsy. No way could these injuries be self-inflected. What does injuries to Drew’s nipples tell you? Did Detective Holstrom question anyone who had a bond with Drew, as is the norm? I don’t know. I requested a Police Report on August 18th. and have not got it. I own a registered newspaper in Lane County Oregon, named after Joseph Lane, who is in the Benton Family Tree. On the phone Holstrom asked me this, after I requested a report;
“What do you want a report for?”
“I’m writing a biography.”
Much of my biography contains the History of John Fremont and Jessie Benton. Holstrom could not find any of Drew’s family, and did not know who mother is the famous artist, Christine Rosamond Benton, and her father is the famous muralist, Garth Benton, whose art graces the Getty Villa. No way would any Benton Artist want to be found dead in their underwear – covered in bruises and blood! If Drew meant to kill herself, she would not have chosen TORTURING HERSELF TO DEATH! Prove me wrong? Put together a panel of experts who have looked at the horrible deaths of hundreds of women. Perhaps you can get a copy of the police report and compare it to Drew’s autopsy?
A friend told me Drew was on leave from her job at Walmart because a man who made a “Kill List” – with Drew’s name at the top – had got out of prison, and was seen at Walmart. Drew was terrified of HER STALKER. Cameron Bosley said she was “hearing voices” and is the reason he wanted Drew to move out of her “dark” studio, and move in with his brother, Damien Bosley., who refused to talk to me on the phone and tell me what happened. It was suggested that if Drew had made this move, she would be alive, and would not have taken her life – to make the voices go away? Why not get hold of Her Stalker and have him make the voices go away? Would he have done a more merciful job?
I ran for Governor of Oregon and will send a copy of this letter to Governor Kotek. Thomas Hart Benton was the Proprietor of the Oregon Territory. His daughter, Jessie Benton, married John Fremont, who blazed the Oregon Trail.

“ She specialized in domestic violence and worked for one of the nation’s largest domestic violence centers”
NOTE TO MY READERS”
I have avoided re-reading the autopsy due to my PTSD that puts me in a state where I have gotten in my bed and tried to go to sleep. It takes me days to recover, and function properly, because I have been put in the dark. I fell my credibility is under attack. I have felt like the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf. I am always working on my shredded credibility and low self-esteem.
I am trying to get the Autopsy Report to my reader, and the Governor. I took photos of it with my camera, but do not know how to send them somewhere, get them, and post them here.
Please get my message to the Governor! Feel free to copy and send. Here is my e-mail. Send me a simple e-mail for the Governor. Show me a easy way to make Drew’s Autopsy viewable to everyone.

RE: Death of Drew Benton Case# 24-24263
DATE: September 20, 2024
Dear Sir: I a the uncle of Drew Taylor Rosamond Benton. While checking in on my relatives on Facebook, I found a post by Damien Bosley saying Drew had taken her life, and he is looking for members of her family. There are five members of our family in the area. I wonder why they are not responding, and in looking at family members on Facebook, I find out another young member of hour family took his life. In twenty minutes I am in total grief and shock. I post a message on Damien’s FB, giving him my phone number. He never called me – to this day! We have texted.
It took four or five days or officer Holstrom to call me back. I called K and talked to Noah who said he would call Holstrom – because I was very stressed. I suffer from PTSD. Finally Holstom calls, and she acts like she is very busy. She tells me I am the only relative she has talked to. She says she was trying to get hold of a half-sister who is in Paris. My niece Shannon Rosamond Benton came to mind. I then asked for a POLICE REPORT.
“Why do you want a report?” Holstrom asked.
“Because I am writing a biography!”
“Contact Records.”
I did, and asked for the record. I called several times, and was told I was on a list. I asked records for Drew’s Autopsy, and read it three days ago. I am I total shock. Drew dies of cardiac arrest – two hours after she jumped from a balcony – after stabbing herself in the thighs twenty times. She stabbed herself in the ankle, and that really made me wonder. Was that a defensive wound? Did someone stab my niece, in what looks like torture? What would that person be after? Damien was in awful hurry to get me to pay for the cremation so I can give him a Death Certificate, because he and Drew co-signed on something and he had to show proof she was dead – to get out of the contract.
In making arrangement with the mortuary, Ivanna tells me Cameron Bosley wants to talk to me.
“Is it O.K. if I give him your number?”
“Yes.”
Cameron called me ten minute later. I am desperate for information. He tells me Drew was dismissed from her job at Walmart due to an altercation involving a fellow worker. She is on mental leave. She is hearing voices. He and Damien want her to move from the small dark, depressing place she is living in, and move in with Damien. I wonder why no one is getting my niece professional help. I have thrifty-six years of sobriety. I keep my mouth shut – because I NEED MORE INFORMATION! I have talked to four citizens of Arizona – and know no details! Where is that police report. Ivanna helps me fill out a Death Certificate. Damien says he did not know Drew’s parents were famous artists, and, there are two books and a movie script about OUR FAMILY! How can that be?
All of a sudden – he disappears the box of Drew’s paper he WAS going to send me. I call Ivanna and tell her Damien is not going to get a copy of the DC, nor is he to receive any ashes. She asks me to send her documentation of my wishes. I replay in our e-mails. NO! Damien is trying to get me to put his name on a Mortuary List. I tell him that is not going to happen.
Two days ago I try to get a hold of Ivanna. She is not available. I ask to talk to a manger. The woman on the phone says she is a manger – and she can NOT find my or Drew’s name. Now she can not find her cremated remains! I am put on hold, A guy named Ron tells me he’s on his way to put Drews ashes in the mail, and I should get them on Saturday. I get an image of Ron – and he is right out of central casting! They called him Captain Ron in Iraq? If we kill all the golfers, they’ll put us in prison!
Here is what I discussed with Michael Dundon, the grandfather of Rafe, and uncle of Shamus Dundon, whose two sons live close to where Drew allegedly jumped from a balcony. One of these sons lived at the same address as Drew, and my late sister, Vicki Presco. And no Dundon – responds! WTF!
“Was Drew right-handed? She stabs herself ten times in the right thigh, then, stabs herself ten times in the left thigh. The wounds on the left thigh will be further up the leg. The wounds on the right leg, will be near the knee! Unless she changed hands!”
The autopsy says Drew was obese at the waist. She has been talking for two hours before she dies of A HEART ATTACK at midnight. How can this be ruled a SUICIDE? I have sent people the psychological report on people who try to stab themselves to death – and survive theses wounds! These attempts are uncommon, and, the stabs are made to the stom……..
I JUST GOT THE REMAINS OF MY NIECE DELIVERED TO MY DOOR!
AN HOUR LATER:
Everything we agreed upon -is here! Thank God! Unless…….Damien got another bag of remains? There’s two Death Certificates. I made a video of the opening of the USPO “CREMATED REMAINS” box. There is a Suspicious Person of Interest not mentioned in this letter. Make that two people! I think I have a solid alibi. Let me check.
What is very shocking are these words
29 A IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF DEATH
MULITIPLE BLUNT AND SHARP FORCE INJURIES
I know what “immediate” means. There is no mention of cardiac arrest – TWO HOURS – later. I spend a half hour reading the autopsy and wondered about the contusions. I saw a sharp end of a woman’s comb causing the stab wounds. Am I to believe Drew tried to kill herself by beating herself to death with a lead pipe, and, then going to a comb to finish the job. But, when that didn’t work she climbed over a high railing – but did not die! I wondered if she was treated like a nut on drugs at the hospital, and did not receive proper treatment. Was she restrained and given a shot of thorizein? ENOUGH!
I’m done with SPECULATING! If I had read the cause of death – before Drew was cremated – I would have demanded TOP Forensic Scientist examine Drew who had been in the icebox for over a month. Did anyone dust her body for fingerprints? Was her appartment treated like a crimes scene? Was there bloody hand prints on the railing? Is there enough forensics to call for – A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION?
I know what you are THINKING. You want evidence I am insane and deluded. You will Google my name. You might find the fake abuser site made by Alley Valkyrie, the Eugene Anarchist. Let me help you: Google ‘Royal Rosamond Press’ where I will publish this message – ten minutes after I hit “send”.
As God is my witness!……I will never be kept in the dark again!”

Victim of Modern Day Witch-hunt
Posted on August 16, 2021 by Royal Rosamond Press
“The Cogswells were also involved in an attempt to prevent the execution of Goodwife Proctor in the Salem witch trials.”
I will make the case in one of my books, that I am the victim of two witch-hunts, one by the Alley Gang Wiccans, and the Hefty Haffner Evangelical Haters. These two conflicting religious groups formed a bond in order to drive me out of my home, and Springfield.
When Alley Valkyrie sent me her threats, I responded to this one, saying Belle Burch had never told me to not contact her, or write about her. Five minutes later, Ms. Burch called me and asked me not to publish anything about her in my newspaper, Royal Rosamond Press. But, her compatriot had already launched an attack on me on her Facebook, which goes against their policy. Their attorney, Mary Broadhurst, objects, but she does not tell Alley to resort to legal action if she believes I am abusive. Almost everyone who read this HUNT knew Valkyrie wanted to USE HER DARK POWERS – have sport with me! She was looking foreward to doing a Victory Dance, when I slunk away – like the others! Alley and Belle had invaded the City Managers office when he practiced his right – not to meet with A WALK-IN MOB! Belle calls Riuz a “coward”. We are seeing a Wiccan Police Force that Kim Hafner applauds – with glee – after she gathered a Christine Posse to harass me and the cats that visited me.
There are authors and groups that are very keen on Witch-hunts. Descendants of the Cogswell family founded Eugene Oregon’s major newspapers, and are kin to George and Joaquin Miller – as well as Jack London. Two of the men were journalists, like myself. I am the alleged kin of John Wilson who I have shown descends the Schwarzenberg family, and may be the reasons he was born at Windsor Castle. I got a very Gothic book that I will lay on the steps of Eugene’s government. Inside I will ask why the Mayor and City Council did not back me up like John Cogswell and his family backed Goodwife Proctor.
Watch this video of a real live witch-hunt that will resemble the news we are going to see for many years to come as the Taliban raid homes and drag out people they believe are not going along with their religious program – and thus are a threat! If only I had obeyed Alley Valkyrie ad removed all mention of Belle Burch – who wanted to alter the course of our City Government through CIVIL DISOBEDIANCE, and thus…..she is newsworthy!
I have proven – beyond a shadow of a doubt – that Alley Valkyrie has no extra-special powers in regards to spell-casting, and, in regards to living in a Democracy!
ADMM: I stopped in Safeway this morning and a woman clerk who knew my homeless friend, recognized me, and said hello! If Hollis Williams were alive, her would be livid at the way the Alley Gang treated me. I showed pics of Hollis at our two hour meeting – and pics of myself t a OCCUPY meeting dressed as Santa. Belle Burch did not identify herself as a advocate for the homeless – and a member of OCCUPY – at that meeting! Only when I I.D.ed her hands, and being a member of the group she got attested with, did SHE CONFESS!
There was much controversy about the lack of leadership with OCCUPY. And then there is the group Anonymous. Alternative Eugene Lifestyle, already had recognizable leaders, some who joined OCCUPY. THEY recognized each other and formed Whoville and Themville. Owning stealth, they began to own power. No add Wiccan Power. I began to RECOGNIZE what, and who, is invisible. I suspected Belle might run for office to get Kitty out of there, because she let John Riuz close down Whoville. Belle went to – THE ENFORCER – Alley Valkyrie. Both women had attorneys available. They could have sued me, do what normal people do. These are no normal people. These are very SPECIAL PEOPLE like QAnon. They get to overthrow -all governments that don’t do their will. Mary Broadhurst – will be my star witness, because she calls THE WITCH-HUNT that is being conducted in front of homeless friends of Alley.
The Cogswell family, have risen from their graves, and have come to my defense. They were at the trial of Elizabeth Proctor. They took a great risk by doing the right thing. Did they worry – they were next – after Elizabeth was murdered? This morning the Cogsworth family, came down on the RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. There is panic at the Afghanistan airport as thousand try to flee the coming Witch-hunt. Will there be trials before the executions?
I am on the right side of history! As I was being attacked, an article appeared in the Register Guard about a anonymous donor wanting to give a large sum to a homeless group. This would be motive for getting me to remove all negative reports from my newspaper. Who ended up with the $400,000

Alley Valkyrie; Local creeper. Delusional narcissist. Not Feri, but reminds me of a few of them. I sent him a PM firmly telling him to leave a friend of mine alone, and my “threat” will be the subject of his blog tomorrow. He has no idea who he is fucking with.
Storm Faerywolf Give him hell, Alley!
“I’m going to make this very simple for you. I don’t know if you know who I am, but I sure as hell know who you are, and when you fuck with my friends, you fuck with me. Stop writing about Belle or I am going to make your life very difficult. I mean it. If I see one more word about her on your blog, your FB, or anywhere else, I will make sure that you experience all the fear and discomfort that she is experiencing right now.
Mary Broadhurst; and this is what I mean. now someone who writes disturbing thoughts and publishes them on the internet is now thrown into the same box as a child molester.”

Anonymous Donor Gives $400,000 for Homeless Camp in Eugene
By RACHAEL MCDONALD• APR 17, 2014
An anonymous donor from Eugene has stepped forward with $400,000 to purchase property for a homeless camp in the city.
The $400,000 will be used to buy a piece of private property to create a place for homeless people to sleep. The donor has also asked that a health clinic be on site for residents and others in need.
Attorney Mary Broadhurst is a homeless advocate who’s worked with SLEEPS and residents of the recently shuttered illegal Whoville camp. She says she’s grateful.

KIMBO
Detective Sargent Kimbo O’Connorstien, looked young for her age. If you have to know, she is thirty-eight. When she was sixteen she used a fake Israeli passport she purchased from Hamas, to enter the Miss America Beauty Pageant, held in New York in 1996. While changing in the dressing room, she was accosted by a man whom she wants to remain anonymous. He abused her. He shamed her. He made her believe she was not worthy. She came to believe being beautiful put her on the wrong path, the path to meet The Big Bad Wolf’.
The Cogswells were also involved in an attempt to prevent the execution of Goodwife Proctor in the Salem witch trials. According to Ipswich In The Massachusetts Bay Colony, 290-291, by Thomas Franklin Waters, The Ipswich Historical Society, 1905: “Five members of the Cogswell family were among the twenty prominent people who signed the petition drawn up by the Rev. John Wise on behalf of Goodwife Proctor, who stood accused of witchcraft. Mary Warren alleged that she had been threatened and abused by Goodwife proctor, and that she had seen apparitions of people who had long since been murdered by the wife of John Proctor. This evidence prevailed and the good woman was sentenced to death.”
Yesterday, Sue Hafner, returned my call. I had just discovered that Garth Benton (Paul Garfield Benton) went to Reseda High School, and graduated in 1959. Two months ago I was at Sue and Jack’s home looking at family photos, and the 1958 yearbook, because Sue had graduated in 1958 from Reseda High. I was going to help her with a story about her grandfather, Maynard, a renowned pole vaulter. Jack Webb was at his wedding.
As it turns out, the actress, Merry Anders, played police woman, Dorothy Miller, in the series Dragnet, and, co-starred in the movie with Garth Benton, who played Buddy ‘Raiders From Beneath The Sea. Merry starred in ‘The Hypnotic Eye’ and ‘The Beauty and the Beast’. This makes Garth the most famous graduate of Reseda High.

The Sol Warriors
Posted on August 13, 2013 by Royal Rosamond Press
Sol Yurick passed away. I and my ex-wife, along with my step-daughter, stayed at Sol’s house when we went back east to pick up the Thunderbird. We talked for hours about his books, and, the real Cultural Warfare that was going down. I really liked this man.
Conventional armies are powerless against highly loyal and specialized gangs. America’s Rebel Army was this. The British did not stand a chance.
Jon
The American novelist Sol Yurick, who has died aged 87, was too radical, too extreme and too violent for the respectable literary establishment of New York, yet no writer more fully embodied the city’s anguished spirit in the 1960s. His novels The Warriors (1965), Fertig (1966) and The Bag (1968) constitute a trilogy of vibrant energy, biting satire and high, though irreverent, artistic seriousness.
The Warriors, a tale of gangs and street violence, was rejected by 27 publishers before it finally appeared. With its carefully crafted parallels with Xenophon’s Anabasis, it was more literary than Hubert Selby Jr’s Last Exit to Brooklyn (1964), but shared its gritty feel for the city’s underclass. In 1979 it was made into a stylish film by Walter Hill. Vincent Canby in the New York Times considered the film “a mish-mash of romantic cliches, moods and visual effects”.
Marilyn Reed at the Jazz Club
Posted on December 2, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
A review by John Presco
Last night I got to see the most soulful and tired woman on the planet. I saw a bereft and powerful woman put her late husband, Kenny Reed, to rest. Marilyn Reed is the most generous human being I will ever meet. When Mary Anne and I got married, no one made any plans. Mary Anne did not think about a wedding dress, so Marilyn leant her train dress she designed and sew. My wife was stunning. However, she did not tell me she hated staying in hotels and motels, the residue of living with Thomas Pynchon in Mexico. So, we had nowhere to spend our wedding night. Marilyn offered us her bed, and that’s where we spent the night. However, I had reservations of consummating our marriage with my first flame in the other room – on the couch! This was enough. Love filled the air. My friend, Bryan McClean sang at our wedding, which caused Marilyn to break out crying. She was -giving me away! She had visions of us getting married, one day.
When I got on the stage at the Jazz Station, I gave Marilyn away to her husband. I acknowledged and bless their union. I told the audience that I was present when they first fell in love. Then I talked about them holding hands, till Kenny let go. I said I know how Kenny felt, because I let Marilyn go back in 1963, never thinking I would see her again. These loving hello’s and these loving goodbyes. What more could a man ask for? What more could Marilyn provide? I acknowledged her and her husband’s walk, and talk, and holding hands with Jesus – in front of the Inspirational Gospel Sounds Choir – that M is the President of.
I thanked Marilyn for her devotion to our community. I acknowledged she had done everything possible to save her husband’s life. For six days she was with him at the hospital.
After the Reed Farewell, I walked around downtown Eugene, after dark, in my great coat. I was filled with peace. I felt love and amnesty for all.
Thank you Marilyn for walking by my side all these blessed years. You’re the greatest!
I will post videos when I make them.

Someone who has my best interests at heart, wants me to give references about my friends here at McKenzie Meadows in particular. What kind of person am I? I made an inventory of four residents I interacted with, that have died here. I have a couple of pics of us playing poker in the rec room that I will have to find.
Then Brembe-Colt came to mind and the video of us taking our walk that was almost a daily happening. Many tenants marveled at how a cat would follow a human. I tried to rescue Colt from his abusive owners. He was becoming my Service Animal. I was struggling using a decapheter until Colt insisted on being a part of the procedure. He was doing a healing. I spent $200 dollars getting him repaired. My vet said he would always bee a outdoor cat. Then began the attack of the No-Neck Gutgobblins.
The No-Necks are a mother and daughter team of Meanness. They moved in four years ago and do not like to say hello. They pride themselves on giving you hard looks. That’s the daughter with Kim Hafner, my tormenter. This Gutgobblin brings her cat outside and is trying to get it used to Colt. She tells me my service cat, and her cat, fought when she brought Colt inside. She tells me she wants to make Colt – her cat! She has seen us walking together ad this is what she deserves – not me!
I tell her I just got Colt fixed and neutered, and do not want him to get in a fight with your cat. This No-Neck tells me her mother told her she can take my cat because I do not keep it inside. I told her no one could keep that cat inside. A couple of months later, Kim Hafner is threatening to get rid of Colt. He disappears.
Jonathan Gall might have been my best friend – after his father, Mark Gall. Mark and I used to go fishing on the McKenzie quite a lot. We used to play golf. The Galls all have degrees in psychology. They and the Corbin family have been friends for forty years. Ed Corbin was my good friend. I got Ed into Serenity Lane. He is a Harvard graduate. Jonny graduated summa cum ladi.
I drove my dear friend to many doctor appointments in my yellow Toyota. I took Ed shopping, and to his appointments. I took Sandy and three others to dinner at the C Street Church, or, The Kitchen. I took Hollis and others to do volunteer work at the Youth Farm. I took Virginia to her doctor appointments in the Mustard Mobil.
One day after I had dinner with Jon and his mother, they dropped me off. Jon wanted to come up and see my appartment. Joy asked me to get a towel to put before John as he scooted himself up the stairs. He could no longer walk. Jon never lived anywhere but his parents home. He sat down in a big chair and looked out on my balcony. He was trying my space on for size. It was very moving, because it looked Jon was going into a home. I saw him in a home. He could not speak, and made grunting sounds. He pulled the tube out of his stomach, twice, when I was there. They wanted me to go in the ambulance.
My neighbor Sande gave me a call and was in much pain. She wanted me to take her to emergency. She scooted down the stairs on her butt. When I picked her up, I was working on a luggage carrier to see if I could carry Sande upstairs. Then my neighbor, Terrell Turner drove up and took our neighbor upstairs. See news article below.
Jon’s grandmother was brought from back East and put in a home. It was love at first sight. For three years I attended dinner at Fox Hollow. I was asked to come do a painting to music in the rec room. Grand Canyon Suite was my choice. I dated the director for awhile. I took Ray Gall to synagogue.
I took Alberta to Cowboy Church. We played poker in the rec room with Cliff, Owen, Ray, and Sande. Alberta had a crush on me, and when she took me to see her burial plot, she wanted me to purchase the plot next to her.
Above is a pic of me and my childhood sweetheart at show at the Emerald Art Association where I volunteered. I married Thomas Pynchon’s lover, and adopted Hollis Williams when he died because we could not find any family. There is a Christian group here at McKenzie Meadow. Joy is close with Genie, who was close with Sande. There was a woman who rented a gargae here that lived with the Galls. Bill died. He rented a garage and was a good friend of the Galls. Mark knew Cheryl Walton when she lived next to Ed. She had to move when she angered a woman neighbor.
I proposed to Virginia Hambley, after she got down on one knee. Virg has memory loss due to a horrific accident. I was there for her, to so all those little things she could not do. I went to Head Injury groups with her.
That is my childhood friend, Nancy Hamren, of yogurt fame. She was at my graduation from Serenity Lane in 1987. She got me on the bus with her friend Ken Kesey who I believe wanted to help him own what I got….33 years of sobriety.
Then there is my good neighbor, Dorene. I fell in love with her and her very old dog that was blind, but sensed I was coming to check my mail.
Ashley Hicks and I have been facebook friends for six years. She was threatened by anarchists and has allowed me to post the threats of Alley Valkyrie who is in France being on her best behavior so she can get citizenship, according to Don Kahle who writes for the Register Guard.
Last night a great cloud rolled in from the sea, and like Baal was full of thunder and rain. I washed down my deck with buckets of water then cleansed and blessed my plants in the name of John the Baptist who was a Nazarite like myself. My ex-neighbor Will invited me to the Convict Christian meetings he held in the rec room. I introduced him to my dear friend Kenny Reed who passed away recently.
Below is my group where you can find a video of me bringing the wrath of God down upon my enemies, because, I am the minister of the New Radio Church of God, founded by Herbert Armstrong. Religious folks are taking themselves way too seriously. Marilyn has come over to find my face all aglow. The beloved McKenzie Meadow Mascots saw this.

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – John Presco raised the flag Monday to remember his friend, Hollis Williams.
Presco hopes in the next few months he can raise enough money that Williams’ death will not have been in vain.
“He doesn’t have a home right now. He’s homeless in a morgue and I’m entering my anger stage on that,” said a downcast Presco.
It’s anger that he’s working out with a hammer. Presco mounted a new U.S. flag this Monday, raising Old Glory for the friend he lost Friday morning.
Presco said he found the 58-year-old Williams dead in his apartment Friday – an apartment Williams had moved into only 2 months ago.
According to other vets, Williams was well known in the homeless community who was often at a nearby Safeway store, collecting cans.
Now, a makeshift altar is set up in a vacant Laura Street building that Presco says was briefly used to hand out clothes to the homeless.
Presco wants the memory of his best friend to live on. His dream is for a veterans “stand-down” center that bears the name of Hollis Williams.
Presco said he wants to copy “stand-downs” held in Lane, Douglas and surrounding counties, to connect vets with mental health services, haircuts, job training and more.
“We got to let our veterans know that they haven’t fought in vain and that we care for them,” Presco said.
He said he doesn’t know where he’ll find the support or how long it will take – but to remember his longtime friend, he won’t give up easily.
“I suffered some homelessness and abandonment and stuff like that,” Presco said, “so I’m not going to abandon my friend.”
The property and house on Laura Street is being sold, so locating a center there is unlikely. Presco said that’s the kind of layout he’s looking for.
Services for Hollis Williams will be next Sunday 1:30 p.m. at Campbell Senior Center in Eugene.

Terrell and Sarah
Posted onJune 23, 2016by Royal Rosamond Press
Terrell and Sarah are getting married in three days. His old friends at McKenzie Meadows wish the Turners the very best! Thanks for being part of our family.
After visiting the University of Oregon, the decision had become clear. Turner would become an Oregon Duck.
“I don’t understand how anyone could turn down Oregon,” Turner told me. “It’s such a family atmosphere. Oregon is a great place to get away from a big town.”

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — On Saturday morning, John Presco could hear the fear in his neighbor’s voice as she left a message on his answering machine.
“Hello John,” said Sandy Maricle. “This is Sandy. Are you home?”
Maricle needed someone to drive her to the hospital.
“I’m in really severe pain in my leg and back,” said Maricle.
With her sciatic nerve throbbing, Maricle barely made it to the car.
“She scooted down on her butt, all the time her face is in agony,” Presco said.
A few hours later, she was released from the hospital — but had no way to get from the car to her second-story apartment.
That all changed when her neighbor, University of Oregon defensive end Terrell Turner showed up, picked Maricle up and carried her up the stairs.
“It was a God-send,” Presco said.
“I was relieved,” Maricle said. “It was like an angel.”
“He was so kind and gentle and just the perfect good Samaritan,” Maricle said.
It’s not the first time this Duck has done a good deed. A few weeks ago, another neighbor needed help carrying a TV up three flights of stairs.
“We got it all the way up so thank God,” Turner said.
Turner said the acts of kindness are inspired by his passion for his family in California.
“I’m just making sure I can help out as if my mom was around to help,” Turner said.
Now, he’s helping his extended family here in Oregon.
“I think a lot of him,” Maricle said.
Judy Gall’s Accidental Masterpiece
Posted onOctober 27, 2012by Royal Rosamond Press
In 2002, Mark Gall sent me photographs of the Rosamond Gallery taken by his sister, Judy Gall, when she was down in the Monterey area. I saw the hidden beauty in this montage, this many layered vision into the Rose of the World gallery that shows Rosamond as Sleeping Beauty, the silenced Story Teller surrounded by her court.
Share this:
Ed Corbin was my neighbor, who lived next door to Hollis Williams who died two years ago. I adopted our mutual friend and paid for his funeral from the $30,000 dollars left to my by my uncle in a Trust. I paid for half of the memorial held at the Campbell Senior Center, across the street from Ed. Above is a photo of me spreading Hollis’s ashes. I worked with Hud-Vash to get H into a apartment.
For years I would bicycle to Ed’s house after blogging for ten hours. We plaid video games. After he had several strokes, I took him to Serenity Lane were he stayed a month. After three months sober, he went back to drinking, and had more strokes. His three sons wanted me to spend more time with Ed, who saw these video games as therapy. It worked. Ed’s recovery from the strokes is a miracle. I got him to cut his drinking way down. For the next two years I never saw him go on a binge, that rendered him insane. He had become a out of control wild man. Thanks to me, Ed is now enjoying two beautiful grandchildren.
Above is my famous Toyota ‘The Mustardmobile’. For years I took Ed shopping in it. I took Hollis and his autistic friends to the Food Kitchen, and a church for a free meal. Here is the Mustardmobile parked in front of OCCUPY Eugene where many homeless people camped. We were against the Millionaire Club who collapsed our economy. The Mustardmobile was used to drive Jonny Gall to many of his doctor meetings. I had no problem waiting for a couple hours, because I had spent thousands of hours babysitting Ed – for free! Jonny died of a rare disease.
After my daughter and her Tea Party lover called me a “parasite” because I get SSI, I dismissed her as the Trustee of the Vincent Rice Trust. My friend, Mark Gall, refused to serve as the second named Trustee, he citing his caring for his dying son took up much of his time.
Ed has me give his good friend a call so we could meet. Ed and Mark went to Harvard together. Ed’s ex found Mark was also in Eugene, and got them to meet.
Two months ago my neighbor Sandra died. For two years I was there for her. I took her to doctor appointments. I watched her waste away due to Lukenia. She took her life.
I watched my good friend, Jon Gall waste away and become a vegetable. I helped so many people, and I get $700 dollars a month to live on. I bought my kin, Michael Dundon new teeth costing $2,000. Yesterday was my birthday. I only heard from Marilyn Reed who took me out to dinner. I revealed more information on why I own a Christ-complex., that bid me to try to save the world and as many people as I can. The Fadeley’s were not invited to Jon’s funeral, either.
Here I am volunteering my time at the rest home Mark’s mother stayed in. She was evicted for demanding she be the center of attention. I took Ray to synagogue. She was convinced her son was going to take her out into the woods to be eaten by a bear. Ray bit one of her handlers on the hand who was trying to feed her.
Then there are the thousands of hours I spent babysitting head-injured Virginia Hambley who kin to much royalty. Here is a pic of Joy and I marching against the war. Did the Galls and the Corbins help me rescue my grandson? You’ll have to read my book.
In the top photo you see my reflection in the window right next to Ed, us two good old buddies side by side. In the last four years we have seen each other twice. What went wrong? The Corbins came into some money. You figure it out. Virginia and Ed are now being for by professionals who get a salary. Jon, Sandra, and Hollis were also cared for by folks who got a wage. I cared – for free!
On April 9, 2012, I received an e-mail from Kendall W. Corbin, the brother of my long term friend, Edward Malcom Corbin. Their father was the head of the Mayo Clinic and has two citations in Who’s Who. Kendall Brooks Corbin, married Eryl Portia Wallace, the daughter of Emilie Susan Cavenagh, who married Robert Bruce Wallace. Portia descends from the infamous William Wallace, and it looks like, Robert Bruce. But what I am interested in is Portia’s kinship to Francis Cavanagh, a member of the Plymouth Brethren.
At Ed Corbin’s house I read about twenty pages on the Cavanagh family containing letters which mentioned the Plymouth Brethren throughout. Those papers Ed owned, got misplaced. When I spoke to Kendall on the phone, he said he would look for them. but, having just moved, this might take awhile.
“Francis Cavenagh (1810‐1875) and his wife Susan Prince (1812‐1885) were
parents of: (1) William Cavenagh (b. 1840), who became a banker; (2) Frank (most
likely Francis?) Cavenagh (b. 1842), who became a Plymouth Brethren missionary
on the Shetland Islands;”

Hi, John –
Visited your website the other day and noticed you have the poem,
“Your Name” posted. I think it’s beautiful.
Lillian had given me a copy some time ago, and I am wondering if you know
where it was published.
Have you met Heather yet?
Best,

In Mr. Sydney Morris’s Report of the Administration he says on page 4 line 10;
“Petitioner hired Stacey Pierrot, who had been assistant manager of the gallery during Decedent’s lifetime, to run the gallery and prepare and execute a marketing plan. The gallery was run by the estate until March 1996 when the gallery was sold to Ms. Pierrot through a contract approved by this Court. During the time that the estate operated the gallery, aggressive marketing efforts were made in an attempt to stir interest in Decedent’s work and increase the potential market for her work. In spite of these efforts, interest in Decedent’s work continued to wane.”
On page six, Mr. Morris explains why there was a delay in the closing of the estate;
“By September 2000, however, plans were underway for a biography of Decedent, which Petitioner hoped might create interest in her work. The book was published in 2002. Although the book did not spur the hoped-for interest in Decedent’s life and work, efforts continued to market the concept of a screenplay based upon Decedent’s life. Petitioner hoping that this might be brought to fruition, elected to keep the estate open. However, it is the Petitioner’s belief the likelihood of an increased interest in Decedents work is negligible, and the time has come to close the estate.”
Jazz and Poetry at Moe’s in Springfield
Posted on October 1, 2016 by Royal Rosamond Press
The owner of Moe’s asked me, and my friends, to do a night of poetry reading, only. I had read my poems at the Granary four years ago, with Kenny Reed backing me up. His wife, Marilyn sang there, as did her daughter, Nisha. Because there was so much going on in the world, I was blogging like crazy. I found no time to write poems, so I turned two of my blogs into poems and read them while Stone Cold Jazz played in the background.
The Baby-faced Rose is about the woman I interviewed at Black Lives Matter rally. Ding Dong is about Krysta Albert defaming Black Miss Oregon. She got me in a world of trouble with the Choir.
The Friggen Eye of God is about a glowing eyeball.
With no hope of ever seeing Belle Burch again, I wrote a poem she inspired. In Ken Kesey Square I told her she reminded me of Botticelli’s ‘Venus in a Half Shell’. I was not a labeled a “stalker” a sexual deviant, a sub-human, at the time. I still owned – human qualities. I sent this poem to Marilyn in a e-mail two days after I beheld Belle.
Here is Nisha, Marilyn’s daughter reading Rena’s poem.
I was confused by the FB message from the Director of the Inspirational Sounds Gospel Choir that forbid me to mention them and their “friends” in the controversy about the director of the Festival of Eugene using racist language. I was so proud of this choir when they stood up for Soromundi, a Lesbian choir, and held their event elsewhere, after the church they practice in, refused to have anything to do with a group of Lesbians, I took this video and had a spiritual experience that bid me to post on Kathy Vrzak’s facebook.

Turn down the sound on the Kesey Square video, and behold her, there, surrounded by the poor and homeless. It is Lucia, who is called Mimi for reasons unknown. If only I were young again! I was young again. Like a thief, she stole my old age away. Is this a crime?
Belle asks me what my blog is about. I tell her;
“I am a poet and artist, and a Bohemian. And I’m writing the history of them; why they should survive; and not be persecuted.”
“We can talk! What is your phone number?”
We did s Opera in the Square. We had music accompanying us. The muses were, and still are, with us!

Marcello is painting while Rodolfo gazes out of the window. They complain of the cold. In order to keep warm, they burn the manuscript of Rodolfo’s drama. Colline, the philosopher, enters shivering and disgruntled at not having been able to pawn some books. Schaunard, the musician of the group, arrives with food, wine and cigars. He explains the source of his riches: a job with an eccentric English gentleman, who ordered him to play his violin to a parrot until it died. The others hardly listen to his tale as they set up the table to eat and drink. Schaunard interrupts, telling them that they must save the food for the days ahead: tonight they will all celebrate his good fortune by dining at Cafe Momus, and he will pay.
