It was Jules Stein, head and founder of MCA, who plucked Richard Shepherd out of Stanford and made him into a real New York agent of the fifties, a gentleman agent, the kind we look back on today with nostalgic reverence.
You’d know without knowing that Shepherd, with his handkerchief and tie always in sync, was Ivy League all the way; he was a well-groomed journalism major, genteel in taste and manner, and according to his professors, the best art forger the faculty had ever seen.
Shepherd could do Chagall like Jonathan Winters did Burt Lancaster—and it got him a little work, until someone told him he had to make a living.

I actually had planned to write today -- giving much background on Kenan-controlled Coca-Cola -- to Bishop Reginald Jackson of AME Sixth Episcopal District of Georgia, who is SPEARHEADING the pressure on Coca-Cola over their SILENCE about Voters Rights in Georgia -- but I have to CLEAR THE DECKS of all the HUMOROUS reports that have come in from ALL OVER, overnight!!! I'll get to this in my NEXT posting:

My mother called about 1:00 this afternoon to find out how my AAA scan of yesterday had gone -- see nearly halfway down, here: https://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2021/03/to-celebrate-his-110th-birthday.html
Mom was THRILLED the result came out so well -- and got a KICK out of how I intend to see if I might meet up with the "Tech" -- who is actually something higher than that, but lower than a Medical Doctor -- and I might even get a DATE out of it or a friendship. The guy had a loose collar with chest hair showing in a copious way, and I said, "WATCH OUT!!! I have a THING for guys with a hairy chest!!!" And he said, "Chest Hair, I have TONS OF!!!"
Also, Mom told me that my Aunt Jean Meyer has very recently died. I thought Aunt Jean had died six or more years ago -- while I was in Political Exile in Puerto Vallarta -- but she's been basically in her own world with Alzheimer's or similar in a nursing home south of Chicago, and now at 92, has passed.
I should write her two children, Marybeth (Meyer) Lernihan and Douglas Meyer to give my Condolences. Aunt Jean was KNOWN for not being smart at all -- but she had a HEART OF GOLD!!!
>>> AND THINGS HAVE NOT BEEN WILD HERE ON SPOFFORD CIRCLE -- LATELY -- BUT THEY SURE HAVE BEEN CRAZY!!!
I WISH I had more photos to illustrate the first part of the following -- descriptions will just have to do.
Kat who with her boyfriend Jack have the lease on apartment two, upstairs -- and Kat's brother John showed up first in early November to live with them -- worked seasonally delivering for UPS for Christmas, then drove off elsewhere to work a month and came BACK -- supposedly to help a friend build his house in Hampstead, about 17 miles north of here.
But the guy apparently is TOO HIGH to get building, and several days ago John sold his motorcycle and got his truck ready to ROLL!!! I spent at least an hour total the last week getting to know him, and he's one of the COOLEST young guys I've ever met -- and he always lets his sweatpants pull down so one to two thirds of his BUTT CRACK points toward me -- when he is AWARE I am watching -- but he claims to be straight.
Anyway, he didn't tell me he was disgusted with his roommates' Hard-Drug Trafficking, but that since nothing is happening HERE, he got a construction job in Moab, Utah -- and moved out last night at dusk to begin his drive.
TODAY, after speaking with Mom, I went out to get my mail as I saw the mail-carrier approaching. Jack, who had been playing on his skateboard on the River-to-Sea walking trail -- but never more than 100 feet from where he could watch our street, "Rob" McKinney, Jr., and another white guy who had been sitting in his car for some time -- one I have often seen in front of Rob's apartment -- all converged on Rob and entered his apartment together -- as soon as Rob got his package from the cool Black mailman.
I got my SPECTRUM bill (back up to $118.00/month for INFERIOR SERVICE -- PLUS they tried to KILL ME with a SPECTRUM TRUCK on orders of Mayor Saffo and Councilman Charlie Rivenbark on February 13, 2017), and then we spoke at LENGTH about the TOTAL CORRUPTION of ALL Christian Churches in Wilmington -- and he said EVERYONE he knows has known that for YEARS!!!
A few minutes later, they all drove off separately in their cars to SELL THE DRUGS they had received -- LOL!!!
And then on Facebook this morning, THIS is the first thing I saw posted. GOOD THING I SAVED IT -- because Christian/CIA Facebook has REMOVED IT AS OFFENSIVE since then -- LOL!!!
Readers all know that Gold Walker has been my landlady since fall 2015 -- first in her 205 S. 4th Street apartments -- and since December 1, 2017, I have lived in her Spofford Circle property. And in spring of 2011 when I worked six weeks for Rusty Hooks, Jr., doing landscape work -- Rusty SHOWED ME how nearly all of the drugs come in on small boats from a Mother Ship in International Waters to the small docks of wealthy people all up and down the Lower Cape Fear.
It was a few Wilmington COPS who told me Gold Walker's son Allen Walker's http://www.walkerworldnc.com/ is where LOTS OF DRUGS of ALL KINDS come in.
Of course Readers all know that Allen Walker's girlfriend, Layne McNeill Smith -- whom I met in Gold Walker's parlor several years ago -- is a Lawyer HIGH in the Republican Party who has not worked as an attorney for YEARS -- they make too much money TRAFFICKING DRUGS.
And Gold's Property Manager Thomas Purdy, lives on that property. Gold told me once that EVERYONE who is not CHRISTIAN should be put PERMANENTLY INTO PRISON!!!
And Jonathan Deputy who works with them distributing those drugs with Dem. NC Representative Deb Butler told me NO ONE at Walker World is CHRISTIAN AT ALL!!!
Well, PREVIOUSLY I had not had anything linking HYPER-HOMO twice-disgraced former Republican NC State Senator (now on the UNC SYSTEM BOARD), Thom Goolsby to ANY OF THESE PEOPLE -- but just LOOK!!!
Rachael Crawford Goolsby: https://www.facebook.com/rachael.goolsby
Of course READERS all know that I have had TONS of encounters with Thom Goolsby over the years. Here are three of my FAVORITES!!!
https://theweathercontinues.blogspot.com/2018/12/bad-news-for-steven-rose-madison-maddy.html
But the FUNNIEST encounter I ever had with Thom Goolsby was the time I was rounding the corner of 2nd Street and Walnut when Goolsby -- dressed in her lime-green tennis togs, including a sporty visor -- was SO BUSY listening to whatever was coming over his ear-buds connected to his phone as he too rounded it in the opposite direction and ALMOST accidently HEAD-BUTTED ME!!!
