San Sebastian Avenue
Meet ‘Little Freddy’ as we referred to him. When I was twelve Frederick W. Broderick walked in the front door of our home on San Sebastian Avenue with carboard boxes, and emptied the bookcase that was in the entry – of very rare books!
“What are you doing?” I asked, and got no reply. When I told my mother, she said;
“Why didn’t you stop him?”
I now took in the bad and good idea Freddy owned when I – caught him. Was I big enough to stop him? Could I knock him out – with a right cross. How about swinging a two-by-four at the back of his head?
In 1988, I found out there was a war over family legacies. Freddy’s mom lifted Billy Broderick up on a wall to behold a home that should should have been his. Was Freddy there – waiting his turn to be………
LIFTED UP
When I did that watercolor in seventh grade – I was lifted up! I found a book on Winslow Homer – and fell in love! I did my version of Eight Bells from memory. My mother was very impressed, and posed her three eldest children in front of it. I believe it was chosen to tour the World in the Red Cross show. I got my – heritage, But the battle went on. Robert Brevoort Buck sold my family legacy to outsiders who wrote a book saying Rosemary’s Baby’s were victims of incest. I need an attorney.
I never saw Lil Freddy again. He looks mean! William Broderick is sitting in Twin Pines Park with his wife, Alice Stuttmeister. They bought a twenty-six acre farm in Oakland, that was located below Joaquin Miller’s farm called ‘The Hights;. I own very little information on the Broderick Fruit Farm. I suspect it became more fuel for the Family Field, so best bury all memories of it in….Angst’s Hellish Acres!
There would harldy be any real history of my real family. A big Carmel law firm used my niece as their Human Legal Shield to make the bad business people her surrogate parents. Drew took her life. Like her mother, she didn’t know who she was. Why? Well. the Brodericks wouldn’t let anyone own an identity – but them!
‘Eight Bells’ is my favorite Winslow. I did not copy it. I raised my mainsail. This is called “Barrowing”. If Home saw it, he would have made me his student. I did not become famous. But I put my hat in the ring, and am running for Governor of Oregon again. This is my resume’.
I love Oregon!
Back to that piece of lumber. William Broderick was an officer of the California Barrel Company in Dogpatch. I though he moved to Oakland because of the great earthquake. But, after reading the find a grave, I see Freddy was born in Oakland in 1903. Hmm! Is it possible the the Tri-Family invested in fruit orchards – as well as real estate? Was Freedy lifted atop the wall in the Stuttmeister Estate in…..
BELMONT?
I got the Stuttmeister nose. I look at my painting above the antique book shelf that Lil Freddy didn’t get to – because of me! At Yale Trucking they called me
THE CALIFORNIA KID
I was seventeen. I caught an older relative stealing my heritage, I was a child. Consider the War of the Roses.
I swing my timber as hard as I can.
THE INTRUDER-THIEF…. IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT
