Capturing Beauty
I am thirty-eight years clean and sober. Not once did a family member honor this amazing achievement. To see Trump nominate Drunks and Party Boys for office, is an insult that will result in a great loss of life .I suspect there is a coup going on. Why? Half of America is going to hate the Grand Unveiling?
On December 2, I put this question to Peter Shapiro in regards to ending my long relationship with Christine Wandel because she told me she supports Trump because the Democrats are at the epicenter of a dark and destructive CONSPIRACY – that I am not aware of!
“Please. Enlighten me. Tell me the name of of the Conspiracy Redio show you listen to.”
When she took the Moral Politcal High Ground on me (with Jesus lurking in the wings) I told her our sixty year friendship – is over! Wandel’s response was to leave eight evil messages on my phone accusing me of having The TDS malfunction. She negated my large blog, she hasn’t read, because she never own a computer or smart phone. Christine lives in the Village, in a small studio. In many ways, she is – real literature – expecially after watching O’Donnel

Right away I……FELT VINDICATED! As a member of AA, I know this is a dangerous thing to feel. Many have celebrated this feeling at their local tavern where ones old buddies wondering where you have been. Right away I thought of the false accusations by my muses, Rena Easton and Belle Burch. Then came the other women who ganged up on me – and abused me! I discussed with Peter, that Wandel and her ilk are accusing every Democrat of helping Biden steal the election. Will Wandel ever admit this is not true – for the sake of our friendship!
FLASH! I just had breakfast and watched CNN. Trump is talking about pardoning the Jan. 6 Insurrectionists because the President pardoned his son. What I can’t help wonder, will President Biden try to steal the election again – by not peacefully turning over the reins of power! Is Putin laughing hos ass off at KGB headquarters?
Wasn’t Peter Hesgeth obligated to TURN DOWN Trump’s offer, and confess his own mother is not on his side? Wasn’t Trump and his handlers obligated to screen this bad actor? This terrible act of Bad Intuition has wasted the trillions dollars’ we spent on the Cold War. Yes Commadore Ian Easton came to mind. Members of the British Defense Staff Washington – ard tearing their hair out. Trump gave an ultimatum to the purveyor’s of the war in the Mideast. Why should they take him seriously. We are in EXTREME DANGER. Our allies feel – betrayed!
At the end of my visut with the nurse yesterday, she said;
“You did a good thing taking care of your nieces death.”
“Thanks! I needed to hear that!”
I included the crisis with the death tof Drew Taylor Benton, being, our relatives hid, and abandoned her dead body. No family helped to pay for funeral costs. And, they feel they have done nothing wrong. And, would do it again – if need be! What became of….doing the right thing? How about – family duty?
Above is a pic of my kin with Dwight D. Eisenhower. They played poker in that back room – along with the Captains of Industry. I’m hoping there is a record of their wartime bond. These two men – destroyed Hitlers Grand Buriel plans. Did he think he was a immortal? Was Hiter so stupid he missed the old rule..
EVEN EVIL MEN AND WOMEN HONOR THEIR DEAD! Why?
I lie in bed this morning inventing a grade that best suits my families dealings with death.
EF MINUS EX
Filling out my neices Death Ciritiufcate at Fed-Ex, I noticed Drew’s Middle Name is – TAYLOR. I them saw the name ROSMOND. I talked with the mortuary, the name of Drew’s liscence is
DREW TAYLOR ROSAMOMD BENTON
Howard Young married Mable “Mollle” Rosemond. I took a photograph of the Mailman delivering Drew’s ashes. This is America’s Art Shroud.No one knew who was in that box – but me!
I need several million dollars to make Art Movies. I want to enter a short in the Canine’s Film Festival, where I employ the opening of Patton, but, we hear the words of Pete’s mother scolding her son – for the good of the others! What happened to that goodness? She wanted to do – the right thing. Did Howard and the other All American Poker Players suggest Ike run for President?
Then there is the four million senior female Christians who voted for Trump because they believed Donald would put Jesus – at the helm. Hold on to this thought. Mark your place in the chaos, because it is going to get worse, much worse! Belle Burch did not give Alley her permission to put her anonymous post on a fake Eugene abuser site. She was trying to silence my newspaper voice. This was her No. 1 Target. She began a Destroy List on her Facebook,
“If you need a concrete example of his behavior and why I am posting this, his delusional writings can be found at https://rosamondpress.wordpress.com
If you see him in your neighborhood, on the street, or anywhere, call him out. Expose him. Make it known that you will not accept and tolerate someone who harasses and obsesses over young women in our community. This man is a very sick individual. Anyone who deliberately makes women feel unsafe should not be tolerated in this or any community.”
Alley Valkyrie
Alley lives in France, that is going to go ape-shit if Kushner. I hold Alley partially responsible foe Drew Benton’s horrible death. She believed she was being stalked and was on her stalker’s “kill list”. Drew reached out to me a month before she died. She wanted to get away.
Valkyrie is a self-professed Witch. I made two reports to the FBI that Trump is promising to weaponize and go after The Press.
EXTRA! I was going to wait to gloat in my next post. Ian Easton is rolling over in his grave. How can Rena Easton bond with anyone who voted for Trump. Howard Young is kin to Ian Fleming. The Royal Janitor is more that prophetic. Someone suggested the Trumpites read this blog.
Donald Trump appeared to troll Justin Trudeau with a picture of himself posing with the Canadian flag after reportedly suggesting Canada could become a US state.
The picture, which Mr Trump posted on social media, seemingly shows the president-elect gazing out at the Rockies with the Canadian flag planted next to him, with the caption: “Oh Canada!”
It comes after he reportedly told Mr Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, that his country could become the 51st US state if it could not stomach new tariffs.
On Friday, Mr Trudeau flew to Mar-a-Lago at short notice to discuss the president-elect’s plans to slap a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian and Mexican imports if both countries failed to halt the flow of drugs and migrants across the US’ borders.
NYT: Pete Hegseth’s mom accused him of ‘abusive behavior’ against women in 2018
Hegseth’s mother condemned his treatment of women in an email sent when he was going through an acrimonious divorce. She told the Times that she sent the email “in anger” and has disavowed her accusations.
Nov. 30, 2024, 11:29 AM PST
Pete Hegseth, the former Fox News host who has been named as President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for defense secretary, is facing fresh controversy this week after The New York Times published a 2018 email in which his mother accused him of being “an abuser of women.”
According to the Times, Hegseth’s mother, Penelope Hegseth, sent the email in April 2018, three months before his divorce decree was issued. In the email, she expressed dismay at her son’s treatment of his then-wife, Samantha Hegseth, calling his behavior “despicable and abusive” and telling him to “get some help and take an honest look at yourself.”
She wrote:
You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.
I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.
…
It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women.
The Times said it obtained a copy of the email from someone “with ties to the Hegseth family.” Penelope Hegseth told the news outlet that she sent the email “in anger” during her son’s divorce and that she immediately followed up with another email to apologize. She also disavowed her first email, saying her accusations are not true and that her son “is a good father, husband.”
Hegseth did not immediately provide the Times with a copy of the follow-up email. (Neither MSNBC nor NBC News has obtained a copy of either email.) Pete Hegseth’s lawyer declined to comment, but Trump’s transition team provided a statement, saying it was “shameful but not surprising that the NYT is publishing a story about one out of context snippet from an illegally obtained private conversation between a mother and her son.”
The report about his mother’s scathing rebuke adds another layer of controversy to Pete Hegseth’s expected nomination for secretary of defense. His lack of experience in a prominent leadership role — among other reasons — has raised alarm among Democrats. Since Trump announced Hegseth as his pick, the former Fox News host’s history of controversial comments has resurfaced, and a 2017 sexual assault investigation against him has come to light. (No charges were filed against Hegseth in the investigation, and he has maintained that the encounter was consensual.)
Hegseth’s confirmation will likely come down to Senate Republicans, who have a slim majority in the next Congress. Although several of them have expressed somewhat half-hearted support for Hegseth, his confirmation appears far from certain.
US President-elect Donald Trump has named Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host, author and military veteran, as his pick for defence secretary.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday he intends to nominate real estate developer Charles Kushner, father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as ambassador to France.

The moral high ground, in ethical or political parlance, refers to the status of being respected for remaining moral, and adhering to and upholding a universally recognized standard of justice or goodness. In derogatory context, the term is often used to metaphorically describe a position of self-righteousness.”Parties seeking the moral high ground simply refuse to act in ways which are not viewed as legitimate and morally defensible.”[1]
Warhol never did satisfy the Trumps. After this failed commission, Warhol expressed seeming resentment of the Trumps in his diaries for the next few years. The next Trump-related diary entry is from another birthday party for Roy Cohn on February 26, 1983:
“[…] And Ivana Trump was there and she came over and when she saw me she was embarrassed and she said, “Oh, whatever happened to those pictures?” and I had this speech in my mind of telling her off, and I was undecided whether to let her have it or not, and she was trying to get away and she did….” (The Andy Warhol Diaries, 487–488)
Donald Trump has no respect for art, either. To him it is not a Pure Money Maker. He owns a fake Renoir ‘La Foge’ that speaks volumes to me. I believe it represents the prenuptial agreement Donald and Melania signed, that grants him the right to look at other beautiful women, and have intercourse with them. Melania admits her husband looks at other women, but, only pretends to lust after them. I believe Melania bought this painting because she saw herself in it. They have gone to the opera where Donald shows off his beautiful wife, but in La Loge, he searches the opera house for other beautiful women. He is like a kid in a candy store. He is a Sexa-holic. However, he could be looking for his daughter who brings many suitors to the opera, to make her father jealous. She is not making her mother jealous, because, that outsider is her step-mother.
Confirmation fights now loom after Trump picks his cabinet
The hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe sounded the alarm on Monday over President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to install MAGA loyalist Kash Patel as the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, focusing much of their attention on Patel’s promise to “come after” the media.
In fact, Joe Scarborough repeatedly aired a 2023 clip of Patel touting Trump’s plan to seek retribution against his opponents if elected, noting that Trump “apologists” on Capitol Hill should be “deeply disturbed by this” and vow to block Patel’s nomination.
Trump sparked widespread backlash over the weekend when he announced Patel, who served in numerous positions in the president-elect’s first administration, as his choice for the nation’s FBI chief. Critics cited his clear lack of qualifications for the position and also cautioned that this was a warning to journalists across the country that Trump was serious about his threats against the free press.
President Eisenhower – Artist
Posted on July 11, 2020 by Royal Rosamond Press
At 7:33 on July 11, 2020, I sent the following e-mail to the President of the United States.
“Dear Mr. President: May I suggest a statue of President Eisenhower be included in your proposed garden. Ike was an artist who rendered a hundred or more paintings while living in your home. He helped defeat the Nazis. He bid the Monument Men to return stolen art to rightful owners. He was a good friend of art dealer, Howard Young, who is the uncle of my kin, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor.”
Trump Refused To Pay Warhol For Paintings of Trump Tower
Posted on October 3, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
Today, Donald Trump appeared before a Judge who found him guilty of massive fraud – without a trial. I’m going to launch a massive investigation into what happened to Warhol’s paintings of Trump Tower – that Trump may have commissioned but, refused to pay for/ Did Trump, and Cohen, reason that Andy would just give Trump the paintings, because – who else would want them?
Here’s a painting of Trump consulting the Giant Eight Ball especially made for him. (the answer is always “No”
“Should I pay Andy for those fake paintings?”
“No!”
John Presco
EXTRA! This is why the live scene of Trump’s rage in court was cut short. He was told a criditor was going to take Rosebud back for non-payment.
Trump’s Business Empire Awaits Its Fate As New York Trial Opens While He Dubs It As ‘Scam’
Does the Internet need another blog post about Donald Trump? Probably not. But Andy Warhol always followed the headlines and depicted the trending topics of the time in his artwork. Warhol would take a famous face from newspapers and magazine covers that you were about to get sick of, and reproduce it dozens—if not hundreds—of times on his silkscreened canvases. So at The Warhol it seems fitting to offer insight on The Donald, a man who has been rich and famous since Warhol’s time.
Andy Warhol met Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana, on multiple occasions. The first mention of Trump in The Andy Warhol Diaries is from February 22, 1981, when they attended the birthday party of infamous McCarthy-era attorney Roy Cohn. Two months later, on April 24, 1981, Trump visited Warhol’s Factory. They had a business meeting arranged by Marc Balet, the art director of Interview magazine for eleven years. Thus, the saga begins:
“Had to meet Donald Trump at the office. Marc Balet had set up this meeting. I keep forgetting that Marc gave up architecture to become an art director, but he still builds models at home, he told me. He’s designing a catalogue for all the stores in the atrium at the Trump Tower and he told Donald Trump that I should do a portrait of the building that would hang over the entrance to the residential part. […] It was so strange, these people are so rich. They talked about buying a building yesterday for $500 million or something. […] He’s a butch guy. Nothing was settled, but I’m going to do some paintings anyway, and show them to them.” (The Andy Warhol Diaries, 375–376)
A few weeks after that, Warhol and his assistant Christopher Makos met with Balet at Trump Tower, which was still under construction. Makos photographed the architectural models of the building; his photos were used as the source images for Warhol’s portrait of the tower. Warhol also created line drawings from tracing the photographs and burned them onto separate silkscreens. The result was a beautiful series of multilayered paintings in black, silver, and gold; some with a sprinkling of Warhol’s glittering diamond dust. Although the commission had not been officially settled, as the Trumps had not paid for any work, Warhol felt confident:
“Monday, June 1st, 1981
Marc’s arranged it so that the catalogue cover he’s designing will be my painting and then the Trumps would wind up with this painting of their building. It’s a great idea, isn’t it?” (The Andy Warhol Diaries, 386)
When the Trumps returned to the Factory on August 5, the deal didn’t go as expected:
“The Trumps came down. […] I showed them the paintings of the Trump Tower that I’d done. I don’t know why I did so many, I did eight. In black and grey and silver which I thought would be so chic for the lobby. But it was a mistake to do so many, I think it confused them. Mr. Trump was very upset that it wasn’t color-coordinated. They have Angelo Donghia doing the decorating so they’re going to come down with swatches of material so I can do the paintings to match the pinks and oranges. I think Trump’s sort of cheap, though, I get that feeling. And Marc Balet who set up the whole thing was sort of shocked. But maybe Mrs. Trump will think about a portrait because I let them see the portraits of Lynn Wyatt behind the building paintings, so maybe they’ll get the idea….” (The Andy Warhol Diaries, 398)
Warhol never did satisfy the Trumps. After this failed commission, Warhol expressed seeming resentment of the Trumps in his diaries for the next few years. The next Trump-related diary entry is from another birthday party for Roy Cohn on February 26, 1983:
“[…] And Ivana Trump was there and she came over and when she saw me she was embarrassed and she said, “Oh, whatever happened to those pictures?” and I had this speech in my mind of telling her off, and I was undecided whether to let her have it or not, and she was trying to get away and she did….” (The Andy Warhol Diaries, 487–488)
On November 30, 1983, Trump Tower opened to the public. The mixed-use skyscraper—comprised of apartments, offices, an atrium, and stores on the ground levels—has hosted an eclectic variety of events over the years. When Warhol was invited to judge cheerleading tryouts at Trump Tower on January 15, 1984, he complied:
“It was the first tryout, and I was supposed to be there at 12:00 but I took my time and went to church and finally moseyed over there around 2:00. This is because I still hate the Trumps because they never bought the paintings I did of the Trump Tower.” (The Andy Warhol Diaries, 549)
To make room for Trump Tower, a location of great significance in Warhol’s Pop art exhibition history—and also his pre-Pop work—had to be torn down: the Bonwit Teller Department Store. Warhol did many of the store’s huge window displays from the 1950s up to 1968. The most significant of these was that of April 1961, which included his earliest Pop paintings, reproducing popular culture images such as comics, a crossword, and advertisements.
On one occasion, driving by another Trump-owned skyscraper aroused this diary entry from May 2, 1984:
“And I just hate the Trumps because they never bought my Trump Tower portraits. And I also hate them because the cabs on the upper level of their ugly Hyatt Hotel just back up traffic so badly around Grand Central now and it takes me so long to get home.” (The Andy Warhol Diaries, 571)
Interestingly, Donald Trump has not publicly expressed any ill will toward Warhol. In fact he has quoted Warhol in two of his books. It’s actually the same quote; the line “Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” from Warhol’s 1975 book, THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol, appears in the introduction to Trump’s Think Like a Billionaire and is referenced three separate times in his Think Like a Champion:
“There’s a certain amount of bravado in what I do these days, and part of that bravado is to make it look easy. That’s why I’ve often referred to business as being an art. I’ve always liked Andy Warhol’s statement that, ‘making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.’ I agree.” (Think Like a Champion, 57)
“We are all businessmen and women, whether you see it that way yet or not. If you like art and can’t make money at it, you eventually realize that everything is business, even your art. That’s why I like Warhol’s statement about good business being the best art. It’s a fact. That’s also another reason I see my business as an art and so I work at it passionately.” (Think Like a Champion, 86)
Perhaps Warhol would have written differently about Trump if the painting commission had worked out. Two of the Trump Tower portraits are now in The Warhol’s permanent collection. The rest of the paintings and drawings are scattered in galleries across the globe. Will Trump’s presidential campaign result in a new level of importance for these paintings?
Art Dynasty vs. Art Nonsence
Posted on October 15, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
How’s this for timing!?
It’s like shooting ducks in a barrel! How much more proof will the Trumps provide that they are the most uncultured couple that ever lived in the White House – and New York City? My God, D&M are a National Disgrace! Will the codswollop they dish out every day – ever end? Mr. Flapdoodle presented the gobblledygook of Kanye the other day, and now we are exposed to the twaddle of an artist who puts Lincoln at a table with Donald Tommyrot, who stiffed Andy Warhol, and passed off a Renoir print as the Real McCoy!
But, what is truly sickening, is Eisenhower enjoying the company of President Funny Business. Ike would have hated Trump, as would the men he payed cards with. One of those men married Mable Rosemond, the sister of Elizabeth Rosemond, who Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor is named after. Alas I found two photographs of my kindred, Howard Young, who founded an Art Dynasty with genetic ties to the Getty family. The Melon family is in Liz’s family tree.
Howard Young played poker with American Oil Barons – and Eisenhower. It is alleged Howard bid Ike to run for President. Liz was aware of this Oil Cartel. Did she inform Michael Jackson as to who owns The Big Game at the Big Table? Trump brags about sitting at the table with the Saudi family and other Oil Sheiks. Howard and The Boys in the backroom – made America Great! Trump and his Den of Thieves, go after the press for not painting rosy portraits of these Evil Wizards who do not have our National Interests at heart. The Rosemond-Taylor family – were Patriots! I am their Historian.
John Presco
“Young had one and he was immediately off to Oklahoma. While there he played poker with Harry Sinclair, Frank Phillips and Bill Skelly, and a new chapter in his career opened–investments. It opened with investments in oil.”

President Donald Trump liked a painting of him having drinks with Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon and Teddy Roosevelt so much that he called the artist on the phone and then put a print of it in the White House.
Called “The Republican Club,” the print of 10 Republican presidents sitting around a table could be seen briefly in the background of Trump’s interview with “60 Minutes” Sunday, and an image of that moment went viral on social media.
As all this was playing out, Andy Thomas was at his home in Carthage, Mo., watching the Kansas City Chiefs play the New England Patriots on TV while working on a painting of a train robbery in the Old West. (It’s a favorite subject of his: “Lots of horses, lots of action.”)
Thomas’ phone began to ring, as friends reached out to tell him, but he assumed they were just pollsters asking about the Missouri Senate race. Finally, his wife came down to show him on the computer.
“I was ecstatic,” he told TIME afterward. “A lot of times gifts aren’t really hung up, they’re just pushed in a closet somewhere. To find out it’s actually hanging is really a treat.”
It’s unclear how the print made its way into the White House, but Thomas said Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California had told him recently that he’d be showing it to Trump.
Thomas is not a very political person, but he’d done a portrait of Issa a few years ago and the two have kept in touch. But he was surprised two weeks ago when he came in from mowing the lawn and his wife and business partner, Dina, told him that Trump would be calling shortly.
“He basically said, ‘most portraits of me I really don’t like,’” Thomas said. “And he’s right. He’s hard to paint. There’s some bad ones out there.”
As he often does, Trump then asked Thomas how he was doing as president and what his friends and neighbors think about him, as well as how he thinks the heated Senate race between Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill and pro-Trump Republican Josh Hawley will end.
Thomas said he was a bit surprised at that turn in the conversation.
“I’m thinking, ‘I’m a damn artist, what is he asking me about this for?’” he recalled.
As a cowboy painter who dabbles in presidential portraits, Thomas said it was nice to hear back from one of his subjects directly. He’d once met a cousin of Bill Clinton’s who told him, secondhand, that he liked the portrait, and Richard Nixon’s niece once praised his painting.
But Thomas was proud that Trump had recognized the work he put into one of the toughest parts of the painting: the president’s smile.
He said he’s found that some presidents have a natural smile: Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama. But others, like Trump, have more of a forced campaign smile that doesn’t look right in a painting. He found it particularly hard to get Nixon right the first time he painted him.
To get Trump’s smile, Thomas said he looked at thousands of photos.
“Trump has that one thing where he sticks his chin up and smiles really big, and it’s great for a caricature but not necessarily flattering to him,” he said. “I had to find a photo where it looked like he’s actually heard something funny, so it looks like a genuine smile.”
The president’s comments Monday morning came after he spoke to Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, who, Trump said, “denies any knowledge” about Khashoggi’s disappearance.
“The king firmly denied any knowledge of it,” Trump said to the press after his phone call with the Saudi king. “He didn’t really know, maybe, I don’t want to get into his mind but it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers, who knows?”
Pressed on whether he believed King Salman’s denials, the president wouldn’t say.
“All I can do is report what he told me. He told me in a very firm way that they had no knowledge of it. He said it very strongly,” Trump said. “His denial to me could not have been stronger, that he had no knowledge. It sounded like he and also the crown prince [Mohanmmed bin Salman] had no knowledge.”
In reality, Trump had touched the globe as part of an inauguration ceremony for the Global Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology in Ridyah, Saudi Arabia on Sunday. Together, the three leaders placed their hands on the globe to start a film about the center.
The newly-opened center has a large TV wall displaying ongoing extremist activity and aims to come together to stop the spread of violent extremism, the Saudi Gazette reports. It will be used to monitor potential threats of terrorism and, through the help of experts, reveal and confront extremist speech.
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said his country wants the US to know that they are “not an enemy” and are committed in the fights against extremist groups like Daesh, also known as the Islamic State.

The Rosemond Art Dynasty
Posted on October 22, 2017by Royal Rosamond Press
Augustus John, Welsh painter, draughtsman, and etcher, c1920. Portrait of John (1878-1961). Illustration from “Story of the British Nation”, Volume IV, by Walter Hutchinson, (London, c1920s).
“Howard Young was as wise in his art dealings as he was investing. His greatest achievement was his discovery of the “Lost El Greco”–“Christ Healing The Blind.” This painting now hangs in the Metropolitan Art Museum.”
Howard Young and Mabel Rosemond had no children. Therefore, I splice and attache all the creative history to this Rose Line. Howard promoted the artist Augustus John, and was the best friend of Victor Cazalet, who also had no children. He was Liz’s godfather. I delare myself the Caretaker of their artistic history – and then some. Because Bryan Mclean had no children, I consider myself the caretaker of his family history. George Mclean was the godfather of Liz’s son.
“Young’s good friend was President Dwight D. Eisenhower and he, too, spent time in the area. “There are several pictures, him and Howard Young would fish here and also President Eisenhower’s brothers would come up here,” said Solberg.”
S. Howard Young, one of the world’s wealthiest art dealers, died yesterday in his galleries in the Pierre Hotel after a brief illness. He was 94 years old on May 22.
Mr. Young was a close friend of the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower and was a great uncle of the actress Elizabeth Taylor. Her father, Francis Taylor, had been Mr. Young’s only partner in a 75‐year career. Mr. Taylor, who died in 1968, was Mr. Young’s nephew.
The art dealer was a resident of Miami Beach and had summer homes in Ridgefield, Conn., and Minocqua, Wis.
It was during a weekend visit with Mr. Young at Ridgefield in 1952 that General Eisenhower, then president of Columbia University, decided to enter the Presidential race. Also present were Bob Considine and Frank Farrell, the newspaper colum nists.
Mr. Considine advised the General that the Hearst news papers would support the Republican nomination of Gen. Douglas MacArthur against Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio. Mr. Farrell told the general that he thought the Scripps Howard newspapers’ editors might be willing to support him.
Soon afterward, Mr. Young arranged a reception here in the St. Regis Hotel for 200 guests. There the General ex changed views with the late Roy W. Howard, head of Scripps‐Howard. The organiza tion, in an unusual move, agreed to support the General before the convention.
Offered an Embassy
Mr. Young was with the general on Election Night in No vember of 1952. When the voting trend became apparent, the general remarked, “Looks as though I’m going to be the next President.” Mr. Young re plied, “Yes, and it looks as though I have lost my best fishing and shooting partner.”
The general smiled and asked, “Where do you want to be an ambassador, Howard?”
Mr. Young shook his head and replied, “How about me being your ambassador to Boulder Junction [Colorado] or Minocqua or Woodruff in Wisconsin?”
The art dealer’s house in Wisconsin is on a ridge over looking a lake. The General liked to swim there, but after his heart attack he was unable to handle the steep 140 ‐foot climb back to the house.
As a surprise for his friend, Mr. Young built a four‐passenger funicular between the house and the diving board. Five years ago Mr. Young got into the funicular to descend to the lake. Partway down, the cable slipped and the car crashed, rocketing Mr. Young 24 feet into a tree. His only injury was a cut scalp.
Over the years the General gave three of his paintings to his friend, and last summer Mr. Young gave the paintings and the General’s letters to the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene, Kan.

Your Town: Elizabeth Taylor, Dwight D. Eisenhower’s connections to the Howard Young
For a couple of days now, we’ve been featuring some of the attractions in the Your Town: Greater Minocqua Area. Now, we’re taking you inside the Howard Young Medical Center, a hospital with a rich history.
Walk inside and you can’t help but notice all the photos, telling the rich history of the facility. A history that dates back decades and decades and it all started thanks to a woman by the name, Dr. Kate. “Back then she went out and said we need a little hospital here,” said Trig Solberg, Board Chairman of the Howard Young Foundation.
Building it wasn’t easy to say the least. That’s until an idea from a math class at Arbor Vitae-Woodruff High School. “They started out with the Penny Parade,” said Solberg. They set out to collect one million pennies. After donations from all over the U.S. and other continents, Lakeland Memorial Hospital became a reality, founded in 1954. Fastforward now and we meet Howard Young, an art dealer.
Solberg said, “His niece was Elizabeth Taylor and she spent the summers up here. Many, many summers up here as a young girl.” Young fell in love with the Your Town: Greater Minocqua Area after he developed a nervous ailment. Doctors suggested a summer vacation in Wisconsin’s northwoods. Even though he had homes in other states like Florida and Connecticut, Minocqua was his favorite.
Young’s good friend was President Dwight D. Eisenhower and he, too, spent time in the area. “There are several pictures, him and Howard Young would fish here and also President Eisenhower’s brothers would come up here,” said Solberg.
Young died in 1972 and left his entire estate to build what we know now as the Howard Young Medical Center. It was dedicated on June 18, 1977. The rest of the money was put into a trust. “He realized up here it would take money during the winter, the slow times and it’s going to need extra money. Solberg said, “It still isn’t enough to keep the hospital going but it’s sure a great help.”
Today, the facility serves not just the area’s residents, but the thousands who make their way to the area, especially in the summer. “Without this hospital in the area, we wouldn’t have the area we have. It’s extremely important that we have a strong hospital,” Solberg said.
Howard Young’s Legacy
It wasn’t until the will of S. Howard Young was made public on Aug. 15, 1972, that residents of the Lakeland area began to understand how deeply this man loved the Northwoods of Wisconsin and the people who reside within its boundaries.
On that day in 1972 they learned that Howard Young had bequeathed approximately $20 Million dollars for a health center so that the area would have the finest facilities and continue to attract outstanding doctors of the caliber that had joined the staff of the first hospital–Lakeland Memorial Hospital.
The will further stated that the “net income is to be paid in perpetuity to the hospital to be used for its own general purposes and that $7 Million dollars be used only for the purpose of constructing, equipping, furnishing and opening a new main hospital.”
Indeed, Howard Young had a love affair with the Lakeland area that spanned some 65 years, and the impact of the love was reaffirmed on Saturday, June 18, 1977, with the dedication of the Howard Young Medical Center. It will continue to be reaffirmed, ad infinitum, through its operation.
Stephen Howard Young was born in Belle Center, Ohio, on May 22, 1878, the eldest of five children who would eventually comprise the family of Philip and Mary Funk Young. His father was a highway construction supervisor.
It seemed as if Howard Young was born with great ambition. His mother soon realized that his ambitions far surpassed anything that Belle Center had to offer, and so it was with her blessing that he left his home at age 10 to make his way in the world.
His business career began simply, delivering for both a laundry and a paper route. When he was 15 years of age he turned to chromolithography (the process of lithographing in colors), a relatively new innovation in 1893. His first operation was in Anderson, Ind., and as his business flourished he opened offices in Cincinnati and Lima, Ohio, plus Peoria, Ill.
By 1896, at the age of 18, Howard Young had amassed a fortune of $400,000. This was also the year of the panic and he lost it all.
He began again…
By now he had decided his future lay in oil paintings. He contracted for the services of several prominent portrait artists in the area. Then, following an obituary notice, he would contact the family and sell them oil paintings from the snapshots they provided of the deceased. They sold at $2,000 each.
One of his clients then asked him to select and buy paintings for her home, paying a commission of $300 for each one. This moved Howard Young into a career as an art dealer.
In 1900, Young married Mabel Rosemund of Springfield, Ill., and moved to St. Louis where he established his headquarters. His wife preceded him in death in 1955. There were no children of the marriage.
His business continued to flourish. Then one day he learned of a man in Bartlesville, Okla., who was looking for a Remington to purchase.
Young had one and he was immediately off to Oklahoma. While there he played poker with Harry Sinclair, Frank Phillips and Bill Skelly, and a new chapter in his career opened–investments. It opened with investments in oil.
In St. Louis, Young became friendly with the Busch and Lambert families. He bought shares of Anheuser-Busch stock that he never sold. He was a wise investor and unloaded a great deal of stock just before the crash in 1929. His one regret was that he sold his IBM stock too soon, for although he made a fine profit, it was nothing compared to what it would have been if he had held it.
He was as wise in his art dealings as he was investing. His greatest achievement was his discovery of the “Lost El Greco”–“Christ Healing The Blind.” This painting now hangs in the Metropolitan Art Museum.
In his art dealings, Young had one regret. He bought a Van Gogh for $5,000, sold it for $10,000, and shortly before his death it sold for $850,000.
In 1907, Howard Young developed a nervous ailment. His doctors recommended a summer vacation in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, and thus began his love affair with Lakeland area.
Howard Young was an art dealer for 75 years. His only partner was his nephew, Francis Taylor–Elizabeth Taylor’s father, who died in 1968.
He did have a multitude of friends and he considered Dwight D. Eisenhower one of his closest. He played an instrumental part in Eisenhower’s entering the 1952 presidential race. He arranged a reception for Eisenhowers with Scripps Howard newspaper executives and it was at this reception that Ike obtained their support. Without this, he probably never would have entered politics.
Howard Young revealed a little of his true feelings for the Lakeland area when, on election night, after learning of his victory, Eisenhower turned to him and asked him where he would like to be ambassador. Young’s reply–“in Minocqua, Woodruff and Boulder Junction.”
In later years, after Eisenhower had suffered his heart attack. Young built a special track down the hill from his home to the lake. Its car carried Eisenhower for his daily swims that he loved so well. Without it, Ike could not have negotiated the steep hill.
During their years of friendship, Eisenhower presented Howard Young with three of his signed paintings. These, along with their correspondence, were donated to the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene, Kansas.
Young was an avid sportsman. He loved golf and founded the Minocqua Country Club, and he was an excellent skeet shooter; but hunting and fishing were probably his favorite spots. He kept homes in Florida and Connecticut, but Minocqua was his favorite retreat, for here he could indulge in all his favorite sports.
Howard Young died at the age of 94 on June 23, 1972. He died among his favorite art treasures in his galleries in the Hotel Pierre in New York City. His remains lie in Detroit…but his heart and memories are alive in the Lakeland area.
Howard Young:
Art and Ike
One weekend in 1952, four men gathered to discuss a decision that was to affect the history of the nation and even the world.
The four were multimillionaire art dealer Howard Young, Hearst newspaper columnist Bob Considine, former Scripps-Howard columnist Frank Farrell, and the president of Columbia University, Gen. Dwight David Eisenhower.
Eisenhower had been toying with the idea of running for president. At the meeting Farrell told the general that he thought the powerful Scripps-Howard newspaper chain would support him if he were the Republican candidate.
That was enough to make Eisenhower decide to run for president. As Farrell explained later, “without Scripps-Howard support, he would not have ventured into politics.”
The place where the meeting took place was Howard Young’s country estate on lower Branchville Road in Ridgefield.
Young called Eisenhower his closest friend, and over the years the two spent countless hours together, not only in Ridgefield but at Young’s Wisconsin retreat where the two would hunt and fish together.
A number of notable people spent time at the Branchville Road home on the shore of Candee’s Pond, including one of the 20th Century’s most famous actresses. Young’s longtime secretary was his nephew, Frank Taylor, the father of Elizabeth Taylor. As the actress’s great-uncle, Young played host to her on a number of occasions.
Stephen Howard Young was born in Belle Center, Ohio, in 1878, a son of a highway construction supervisor. “His mother told him at the age of nine that Belle Center would never be big enough for his ambitions,” said columnist Farrell, a longtime friend of Young.
He left home at the age of 10, earning a living with a newspaper route and delivering laundry.
By 15, he was working for the sales staff of a printing company that was using a new method of color lithography. Three years later, he had amassed a small fortune, some $400,000, which he promptly lost in the panic of 1896.
Still only a self-educated teenager (he read voraciously), Young started over by establishing his own business of creating custom portraits in oils, hiring artists to do the paintings. He would read obituary notices, obtain a photo of the deceased person, hire an artist to paint a portrait from the picture, and then convince the family to spend $2,000 on the painting.
That soon led him into the world of buying and selling the artworks of established, even famous painters. He opened his first gallery in St. Louis, Mo., when he was in his 20s.
While delivering a Frederic Remington painting to a customer in Oklahoma, Young happened to be invited into a poker game with Harry Sinclair, head of Sinclair Oil, and Frank Phillips, who founded Phillips Petroleum. It was the early days of the automobile, and the two oilmen encouraged him to invest in oil. He did so and eventually gained considerable wealth and with it, the ability to expand and improve his business.
Sinclair also told Young he should move his art business to New York City, even offering financial assistance with the move. Young opened on Fifth Avenue and eventually became what The New York Times called “one of the world’s wealthiest art dealers.”
Over the years Young bought and sold some of the most valuable pieces of art to come on the market, including works worth more than $1 million.
“His proudest single achievement was his discovery of ‘The Lost El Greco,’ titled ‘Christ Healing the Blind,’” Farrell wrote. Young found the picture, then attributed to Tintoretto, on sale at Christie’s in London. He bought it for a customer for £37,000 (about $745,000 in today’s dollars), and had it authenticated in the Prado as the original ‘Lost El Greco.” The painting now hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Young admitted making two major mistakes during his career. One was selling IBM stock that would have been worth millions of dollars had he held onto it. The other occurred in the 1930s when he bought a Van Gogh in Rotterdam for $5,000 and soon sold it for $10,000 ($174,000 in today’s dollars). While he doubled his investment, the same painting sold three decades later at a Parke-Bernet auction for $850,000 ($5.2 million today).
Young enjoyed vacationing at Minocqua, near Woodruff and Lakeland, in the north woods of Wisconsin. There, Eisenhower — and sometimes the president’s brothers — would visit to enjoy the woods and lakes; Eisenhower especially liked to swim in a lake on Young’s property.
After learning of his victory at his headquarters on election night in 1952, Eisenhower turned to Young and asked him where he would like to be ambassador. Young reportedly replied: “In Minocqua, Woodruff and Boulder Junction.”
After Eisenhower had his famous heart attack in 1955, Young built an electric tramway — a small funicular railway — down a steep hill from his home to the lake. “Its car carried Eisenhower for his daily swims that he loved so well,” The Lakeland Times reported. “Without it, Ike could not have negotiated the steep hill.”
Young had been a patient of a local Lakeland physician and once promised the doctor to donate to the Lakeland Memorial Hospital. After Young’s death in 1972 at the age of 94, it was discovered that he had more than kept his promise: He left some $20-million (more than $115 million in 2015 dollars) in a trust to build a new hospital. In 1977, the Howard Young Medical Center opened its doors in Woodruff.
Dame Elizabeth’s Art Collection
Dame Elizabeth’s “love affair with jewelry” has often overshadowed her equally magnificent collection of Impressionist art. Incredibly rare paintings by Picasso, Utrillo, Degas, Rouault, Monet, Pissaro, Renoir, Mary Cassatt, Modigliani, Vlaminck, van Gogh, Frans Hals, Matisse, Cézanne, Cassatt, Rembrandt, Erté and Frans Hals have all hung on the walls of Dame Elizabeth’s grand homes, on land or at sea.
Elizabeth grew up with an understanding and appreciation for fine art. Her father, Francis Taylor, was an art dealer with a gallery located at 35 Old Bond Street in London. He learned the business under the tutelage of his uncle, Howard Young. After relocating with his family to sunny California during the war, Francis opened an art gallery at the Château Elysée, but quickly relocated it to the more impressive Beverly Hills Hotel. It was at that location that such celebrities as Howard Duff, Vincent Price, James Mason, Alan Ladd, Hedda Hopper, and Greta Garbo could be found selecting art for their own collections. Francis Taylor was also a trendsetter; responsible for the popularity of Augustus John in the United States. Francis, who had a keen eye, asked John if he could buy some of the paintings John had discarded. John felt they weren’t good enough to sell, and gave them to Francis free of charge. They were sold back at the art gallery in the States, where Augustus John paintings would be sold exclusively for many years. Francis would soon find an art connoisseur in his daughter, Elizabeth, who would amass one of the great private collections of Impressionist art in America.
One of her first big pieces was one by Frans Hals, given to by Francis on the occasion of her marriage to Nicky Hilton. Elizabeth owns several other Hals, including “Portrait of a Man”.
Elizabeth’s collection of art, like her collection of jewelry, grew during her brief but passionate marriage to the great Mike Todd. During this time, Todd, who was also an art connoisseur, purchased painting by Degas, Utrillo, and Vuillar from the collection of Aly Khan for a reported cost of $71,428. “They’ll think I’m crazy when they hear about this in Hollywood,” Todd joked. “Paying that much for pictures that don’t even move.” Once, while Elizabeth was hospitalized, Todd decorated the walls of her sterile hospital room with paintings by Renoir, Pissarro, and Monet (Todd even unintentionally punctured the Van Gogh with a pencil, but Elizabeth’s uncle, Howard Young, was able to mend it). “He knew how much I loved paintings. He loved paintings, too, but instead of buying himself the paintings, he’d buy them for me,” Elizabeth remembered. The Todds were generous with their collection; even loaning pieces to the Los Angeles County Art Museum.
Elizabeth continued to collect valuable art during her marriage to Richard Burton, and they together acquired many fabulous paintings. Bidding on behalf of his daughter, Francis Taylor purchased Vincent van Gogh’s “Lunatic Asylum, St. Remy” at Sotheby’s (and as a belated birthday present, Francis Taylor purchased for Elizabeth a Utrillo at the same auction). The painting, which was being sold from the collection of Alfred Woolf, was auctioned for £92,000. She would later try (unsuccessfully) to part with the painting for $20 million.
Elizabeth once described her home as “such a cozy, sweet place with bits and pieces around—bits and pieces of Renoir—and, you know, things that make it homey.” All joking aside, like the joy her famous collection of jewelry has brought her, Elizabeth’s paintings serve as memories of incredible times from a bygone era, and the loved ones she shared them with.
The Opera Box
Posted on November 27, 2016by Royal Rosamond Press
Vic Presco said;
“I hate art!”
Our father had invested his mother’s inheritance in a partnership with his two daughters, and, just after Christine died, Vicki refuses to talk to him. Garth’s divorce attorney is helping Vicki with the artistic legacy. Vic calls her up and is told this;
“I’m in shock! I didn’t know you existed, or the partnership prints. I asked Garth and Vicki to inventory everything,”
Donald Trump has no respect for art, either. To him it is not a Pure Money Maker. He owns a fake Renoir ‘La Foge’ that speaks volumes to me. I believe it represents the prenuptial agreement Donald and Melania signed, that grants him the right to look at other beautiful women, and have intercourse with them. Melania admits her husband looks at other women, but, only pretends to lust after them. I believe Melania bought this painting because she saw herself in it. They have gone to the opera where Donald shows off his beautiful wife, but in La Loge, he searches the opera house for other beautiful women. He is like a kid in a candy store. He is a Sexa-holic. However, he could be looking for his daughter who brings many suitors to the opera, to make her father jealous. She is not making her mother jealous, because, that outsider is her step-mother.
This is why Melanie will not move to the White House. Trump’s ex-wives have fought their preneptual. possession is nine-tenths of the law. She knows Donald is guilt as charged. He is a womanizer guilty of physical and sexual abuse. She puts on a front of protection while she maneuvers in the covert background, looking for the best advantage. She is using Barron as a leverage. Ivanka is in full battle gear. She will protect her ABUSER that she has forgiven – many times! She has enjoyed the money and prestige like no woman in Donald’s life can. She is a Blackmailer.
This is why so many white educated women voted for Trump. They too were sexually abused by their fathers, but, they have put that behind them. They just want to have more money.Money is the cure-all. They did not like to see those abused women that lined up behind Hillary. They did like the women Trump lined up to accuse Bill Clinton, a known fall guy…. a guilty guy, that will keep his mouth shut!
I predict, that a month after Donald moves into the White, the Great National Divorce will begin. While we are all glued to our T.Vs. Ryan and Bug Man will dismantle the social safety net. Poor folks and their children will get hurt, badly! These are the naughty ones on food stamps. They will be blamed for the ills of the Nation, while reporters go looking for that new woman Donald is grabbing the pussy of. Our National will enter the Dysfunctional Soap Opera Depression, that will resemble Dallas. Our streets will fill to overflowing with the poor who lost everything. Meanwhile, the man of ‘La Foge’ searches for more victims – right in front of us! We will despair……..to no avail!
I think Melania is a Foreign Blackmailer! She is a national security risk. So is Donald. Putin will come comfort him when it gets real dark, and, President Trump is all alone in the White House asking himself….
“Who can I trust?”
Now is your chance. Declare Trump, and his family – unfit to serve our Nation!
Jon Presco
While he brags about their eight-figure valuations, “friends” of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald J. Trump are whispering about the French Impressionist paintings he sports in his home and on his plane may be fake.
Which is funny, because Trump himself told a friend that he “finds the New York arts crowd phony and elitist,” according to the New York Post, which has blown the whistle on the Donald’s supposedly invaluable collection.
Melania Trump went on the offensive for husband Donald Trump during an interviewwith CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Monday night, defending the GOP nominee against the allegations of sexual misconduct that have been raised by numerous women in the last week, alone.
Speaking from the couple’s shared apartment in Manhattan’s Trump Tower, Melania, 46, said, “I’m very strong. And people, they don’t really know me. People think I talk about me like, ‘Oh Melania. Oh poor Melania.’ Don’t feel sorry for me. I can handle everything.”
The mother of one also had a message for her husband’s critics. “I see in the press a lot almost like celebrities or people who think they’re celebrity. I would suggest to them at look at themselves in the mirror and to look at their actions and to take care of their own families,” she said.
In response, Melania spoke out through a statement, admonishing the vulgar comments, “The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me. This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader.”
She added, “I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world.”
Speaking specifically about Donald’s 2005 conversation with Billy Bush, Melania recalled: “He apologized, and I accepted his apology, I hope the American people will accept it as well. It was many, many years ago.”
Though she called Bush and her husband “two teenage boys,” she also defended Donald’s “locker room” comments by explaining, “I know how some men talk, and that’s how I saw it,” even jokingly sharing: “Sometimes I say I have two boys at home, I have my young son and I have my husband.”
When asked about the recent accusations against her husband, Mrs. Trump explained, “No that isn’t sexual assault. He didn’t say that he did it.” She also revealed that she’s seen many women approach the real estate mogul in the past. “I see many, many women coming to him and giving the phone numbers and, you know, want to work for him,” Melania described. “And they know he’s married. They do it in front of me.”
Among the women who’ve come forward was former PEOPLE writer Natasha Stoynoff, who said that while interviewing Donald and then-pregnant Melania at Mar-a-Lago for a piece about their first wedding anniversary in 2005, the Presidential candidate “pushed” her up against a wall, forcing his tongue down her throat and later insisted that they would “have an affair.”
Donald vehemently denied the allegations last week, saying during a Florida rally that they are “all 100 percent, totally and completely fabricated.”
Melania also vehemently denied Stoynoff’s account. “The story that came out in PEOPLE magazine, the writer she said my husband took her to the room and started kissing her, she wrote in the same story about me that she saw me on 5th avenue, and I said to her ‘Natasha, how come we don’t see you anymore?’ I was never friends with her, I would not recognize her,” she said during her CNN interview. “That never happened, I was never friends with her, I saw her, she interviewed us twice, she came to the wedding, and for that story, that’s it. I would not recognize her on the street or ask her why we don’t see her anymore, so that was another thing like people come out saying lies and not true stuff.”

“There’s nothing really nice about it. But in our world — with the long courts and with the vicious lawyers, and with all of the problems — if you have money or if you think you’re going to have money, you have to have a prenuptial agreement,” Trump told King in 2006, a year after his third marriage to Slovenian model Melania Knauss.
The media has had a field day fact-checking Trump’s wild claims, on subjects ranging from his personal worth to whether over a quarter of Muslims worldwide want to go to war with America. And now the lust for accuracy has come to the real estate developer’s art holdings.
The Post indicates that a version of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s La Loge adorns Melania Trump’s Trump Tower office. But—sad trombone!—someone close to Trump says that while Trump “can appreciate fine art,” he “prefers higher-return investments,” so it may be a copy.
While showing Vanity Fair’s Mark Bowden around his Boeing 727, Trump bragged that a “Renoir” hanging on its wall was “worth $10 million,” pointing to the signature. A Huffington Post blogger also claimed to spot Renoirs, in this case at Trump’s Manhattan home. The current auction record for a Renoir canvas is $78 million, set by Au Moulin de la Galette (1876) at Sotheby’s New York in 1990; the painter’s 1894 oil on canvas Au Théâtre, la loge, sold at Christie’s New York for $6 million in 2008, while that same year,La Loge or L’Avant-Scene sold at Sotheby’s London for £7.4 million (approximately $10 million) to an unidentified buyer.
Other reports, meanwhile, indicate that paintings by jazz singer Tony Bennett hang at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, in Florida. According to the artnet Auction Price Database, the top price paid at auction for a Bennett canvas is $1,000. The princely sum was paid not at a high-profile auction house like Sotheby’s or Christie’s, but rather at Quinn & Farmer in central Virginia.
Hunting Down The Last Bohemian
Posted on November 30, 2019 by Royal Rosamond Press
Here is Deputy Dan Mayland who called me and told me Rena Easton had filed stalking charges against. Dan is like The Terminator. I am the Last of my Bohemian tribe. I must survive!
John ‘The Bohemian’
John Gregory Presco, DOB 10/8/1946
This man’s name is John Gregory Presco, DOB 10/8/1946. He lives in Springfield, Oregon.
He frequents Eugene, especially the Whiteaker neighborhood, and regularly shows up at activist events. He is a stalker, a harasser, and an obsessed delusional sicko. He targeted a friend of mine and has been writing about her obsessively, and when I confronted him about his behavior, he decided to target me as well.
If you need a concrete example of his behavior and why I am posting this, his delusional writings can be found at https://rosamondpress.wordpress.com
If you see him in your neighborhood, on the street, or anywhere, call him out. Expose him. Make it known that you will not accept and tolerate someone who harasses and obsesses over young women in our community. This man is a very sick individual. Anyone who deliberately makes women feel unsafe should not be tolerated in this or any community.
Detective Dan Mayland grew up in north central Wyoming on a ranch that hosted multiple family businesses including a bed and breakfast offering guided fishing trips, 4-wheeler trips, rock hunting, hiking expeditions, winter snowmobile rentals, and guided tours. Not surprisingly, Dan is a passionate outdoorsman and enjoy hunting, camping, boating, fishing and anything outdoors. His hobbies include photography, cooking, archery, mountain biking, reloading ammunition, shooting, and gunsmithing.
After graduating high school Dan attended the University of Wyoming and graduated with a double bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology. He focused on criminal psychopathology, criminology, forensic psychopathology, and forensic psychology. While in college Dan worked at a local ski resort during the winter months and as an equipment operator for a local construction company in the summer months. After graduation, he took a position as the Director of Sales at the ski resort, overseeing ticket sales, retail, ski school, and food services.
In 2005 Dan moved to Gallatin County, sticking close to the mountains and outdoor recreation he loves. He started his law enforcement career in 2009, to make use of his degrees. He chose Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office after extensively researching many departments throughout Montana and discovering that GCSO was a coveted office because they hired and staffed great people with great equipment in a beautiful fast-growing area. He tested for the Detective division in spring 2014 and was successfully promoted to the Property Crimes position. In the fall of 2014, the Crimes against Women and Children position opened and he successfully tested for that position; he took over that position in May of 2015.
Since joining the Sheriff’s Office Dan has been trained in Crisis Intervention Training, FBI Hostage Negotiations, Basic Police Mountain Bike School, Interview and Interrogation Techniques, Death Investigations School, Forensic Experimental Trauma Interview School, Bloodstain Pattern Analysis School, and Missing and Endangered Children Response and Investigation Training, among others. He is currently a certified hostage negotiator for the Gallatin County Sheriff/Bozeman Police Special Response Team, a certified MPAT Proctor and physical fitness coach for the Sheriff’s Office, and bike patrol deputy.
The British Balloon Buddy Is Coming
