When I was working at Cordis, I wrote John a letter telling him about some of what I'd been through at the hands of our parents in 1980/1981. A short time later, my former psychiatrist, Dr. Sanford Jacobson, contacted me at work.
He told me that my mother, Donna Jean (Volkmer) Landsberg, had been pestering him to have me committed. She would not leave him alone, he told me.
I knew right away she must have been reacting to the letter I'd sent to my brother. He never sent me a reply. Dr. Jacobson, a true honor to his profession, protected me. Regardless of the pressures my mother and her associates put on him, he protected me.
Years later, I was visiting my mother's apartment at Waterside. I believe it was my last visit before moving to Virginia, and, as I recall, that was also the day I asked to be able to go through the box of family photos she kept in her bedroom closet.
The photos and report cards I was given permission to take away that day have allowed me to substantiate my perception of the resemblance between the Mystery Man and my father.
I believe that was the same day she confronted me, as explained elsewhere (see http://home.earthlink.net/~sammark4/).
I emailed her son John recently. I'd gotten his email address off the internet. He did not remark about the above. I thought perhaps his wife had intercepted my letter to him, or that there some other way to excuse him from ratting me out to our mother after having told him only the truth in my letter.
My mother, that day, exclaimed, "But look what you wrote to your brother!"
I replied, "All I did was tell him the truth."She said, "I know."Date: 5/27/04 2:09:55 PM Central Daylight Time

Dear John,
Since I have been labeled as mentally ill for the last 24 years, I decided to learn more about the parents who started this whole thing that has completely destroyed my life.
I learned about Todd's kidney transplant from an internet search, and contacted the reporter, James A. Fussell of the Kansas City Star, who wrote the article, "After transplant from father, son runs for the health of it." I asked him how your family would have known so early in his life that Todd's kidney would have to be replaced. I had no way of knowing if you knew we had a family history of kidney problems.
Did you know that Mark died from acute nephritis, and that he was missing his right kidney from birth? I spoke with Herk the other day -- he said he knew about it. I learned about it a few years ago because I sent away for Mark's death certificate. I strongly resent Donna and Harry for not telling me this because this is a family medical history issue that should not been kept from anyone.
In '84 when I worked at Cordis Corporation, as you will recall, I mailed you a letter detailing some of the weirdness Donna and Harry had put me through as they were attempting to have me discredited as being mentally ill in 1981 -- when I was a senior in college at the U of Miami. I strongly resent the fact that instead of responding to me, you contacted mom and revealed the contents of my confidential letter.
I had been trying to get justice in this matter of my alleged mental illness and would have appreciated your help. When you contacted mom, she contacted my psychiatrist, Dr. Jacobson, and pestered him to have me committed.
He called me at Cordis and alerted me about what she was trying to do. He asked me to get her off his back. I knew immediately that she was reacting to my letter to you. Mom confirmed that a few years later.
I am not mentally ill, John, and never have been. The times when I have been diagnosed as schizophrenic were when mom and dad set up the situations in my life. Dr. Sanford Jacobson, whom I saw for two years between the set-up "mental illness" times, diagnosed me with chronic dysthymic disorder, which is a mild form of depression.
In the years since leaving Miami, I have been uniformly diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder -- not schizophrenia.
I have been collecting information on the parental units that I believe is significant. I have shared this information various researchers over the years.
As for the JFK assassination info, one prominent professor/author has given me strong positive feedback on dad's resemblance to a man taking bogus measurements with now-Senator Arlen Specter in their attempt to prove the ridiculous "single bullet theory."
This author believes I have blown the cover of a man whose cover was never meant to be blown by "any knowing person." But since I am a daughter and not a person with access to classified information, I am free to disclose what I wish -- about Harry, as a possible perpetrator in the cover-up -- and about anything else having to do with the family that was so careless about the harsh reality of my life.
I would like to know what you know about the death of Donna and Harry's firstborn in DC. In 1991 or '92 Mary visited me in VA and said she'd asked mom where the child was buried so that she could visit the grave. She said mom told her she didn't recall where HER OWN FIRSTBORN SON WAS BURIED. Herk said he went with mom and dad to Annapolis, MD, when he was in high school, and that mom and dad visited the infant's grave in DC while Herk was asleep in the car. Herk's understanding was that the firstborn died from pneumonia at 3 months of age. I was told that the firstborn died from dehydration due to diarrhea at 6 weeks of age. Mom told me she got tired of BOTHERING the neighbors to phone the doctor on this infant's behalf. Also that some neighbors looked askance at her, she said, because the baby cried so much they acted as if she must have been harming him.
I would also like to know what you know about Mark's death, what you know about Donna and Harry employment in DC in the 1940's, what you know about dad's post DC employment history, and what you know about Gar Garland and his business activities.
For example, I was told by mom that she was the secretary to the 2nd in command in the Department of the Navy (which would have been the Undersecretary of the Navy.) According to the timeframe given, if it's true, she would probably have worked for James Forrestal. He died under very suspicious circumstances at Bethesda Naval Hospital in 1949.
I recall her boasting, once, that a famous movie star sat on the edge of her desk while he was waiting to speak with her boss. Do you recall who she was referring to? Could it have been Tyrone Power?
Uncle Charlie recently stated that he didn't know who she worked for in the Navy. I asked Herk how she could have been good enough to get on with the Undersecretary of the Navy, and he said he didn't know -- that he'd never asked her.
I was told dad worked for the John B. Rodgers film/theater company while they lived in DC. Herky was told dad was an ironworker at that time.
I asked Herk what dad was doing in '64 when the Warren Commission re-enactment was taking place. It is his understanding that dad was self-employed at CleLand Partition at that time. But Ohio Corporation records indicate that CleLand Partition was dissolved in December of 1961.
Dad listed it as his place of employment on my Feb '59 birth certificate, though he had not created that company until six weeks after my birth, in April of '59.
Give my best to Todd and Jenny. Hopefully you will have the nerve to share these family mysteries with them -- they have every right to know about these things. This research has been my life's work, as I have been unable to have a life outside the home (except for institutionalizations, of course) because of the way slander and set-ups follow me wherever I go.
I guess time will tell whether or not my research has legs. Your bullshit PR skills may get a workout in the near future if it does. I plan to do EVERYTHING in my power to see that those who care about the subjects I've researched (and the things that I've lived through) get a chance to help me correct these grave injustices.
I believe in God, and believe that I am being guided and protected.Laura-----------------

I took an interest in the JFK assassination after reading Harrison
E. Livingstone's book "High Treason: The Assassination of JFK & the
Case for Conspiracy" in 1990 or '91. In August, 1992, when I received
my copy of "U.S. News and World Report" magazine, I was immediately
interested in the cover story "JFK: The Untold Story of the Warren
Commission."
I flipped through the article and when I came to pages 38 and 39 I
was in for quite a shock. One of the men in the "single bullet
theory" photo with Arlen Specter looked just like my father, Harry E.
Landsberg, Jr.
Click on the link below and scroll down to the second photo. The
image on the right is from pages 38-39 of that U.S. News and World
Report issue. The man who resembles my father is wearing a straw hat.
http://www.geocities.com/justicewell/specter.htm
I had realized by that time in my life that there were many things I
didn't actually know about my family, but I'd never suspected my
father might have played a role in the JFK assassination
investigation.
I have routinely been discredited as being mentally ill by my family
-- from the time I was a senior in college (1981) at the University of
Miami in Coral Gables, FL. My reputation for being mentally ill
persists to this day.

Back to the stuff about my father...
Here is an enlarged image of the man in the magazine photo:
https://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/per68/dad_usnsolo.jpg
Here is a collage of photos of my dad at various ages, with a photo
of the man in the magazine in the mix:
https://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/per68/collage_mag.jpg
It may be relevant that the man in the straw hat is dressed
differently than the other men in the photo. Harry was rather
notorious for his loud clothing, though I don't recall that he wore
loud print shirts as much as pink, purple and polka-dotted outfits.
https://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/per68/dad_polka3.jpg
Earlier this year, as I was reading the book "Assassination
Science", I found another photo of the man in the straw hat. (Edited
by James H. Fetzer, Ph.D., Catfeet Press, Chicago, 1998, page 36).
It's the second of two photos in Warren Commission Exhibit 900 (CE
900). I was able to find this photo on-line in the "History Matters
Warren Commission Archive." The exhibit is in "Warren Commission:
Hearings and Exhibits" Volume XVIII.
http://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/contents.htm
CE 900 photo #2:
https://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/per68/dad_wcsbt2_vol18.jpg
The photo reveals the right profile of this man. I was able to find
a photo of my father in a similar pose. My photo is hand-dated
October 1962, so it would have been taken two years before the Warren
Commission photo. The enlargement of CE 900 is very unclear, but the
man appears quite cleary to have white hair, as did Harry, and the
sizes of the noses seem reasonably similar. I can only conclude that
Harry cannot yet be ruled out.
Comparison:
https://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/per68/dad_wc.jpg
Original (front & back)
https://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/per68/dad_golf_orig.jpg
I put some of this information up on a web page, drawing from posts
I'd made to the Yahoo CIA-drugs_Darkside group. The day after I'd
found that photo in "Assassination Science" and had read about Leon
Jaworski and his connection to the alleged CIA front "MD Anderson
Cancer Clinic," I tracked a hit from someone at the MD Anderson Cancer
Clinic on my very low-traffic website. I saved this "extreme
tracking" info on my hard-drive and on data CD's but the files are
corrupt.
----
The name Harry Earl Landsberg, Jr. does not appear in the Warren
Commission index, nor have I been able to find this name associated
with any aspect of the assassination. The only possible connection
seems to be the resemblance between my father and this man.
There are other oddities, though. I knew my father as a traveling
salesman and then later as an apartment manager, but it is possible
that he may have been an engineer and kept this hidden. There are a
few things which would seem to contradict that conclusion, however.
When I was in high school and college I helped my parents in their
apartment management offices on Sundays. One Sunday, in dad's office,
I noticed his resume in an in-box. I looked it over and saw that he
had gone to a Polytechnic Institute. He told me he'd never gone to
college, but that he had studied art after high school. I assumed
then that a Polytechnic Institute was some kind of an art school.
Years later my husband corrected me. He told me that M.I.T., for
example, was a Polytechnic Institute.
According to records obtained from John Marshall High School in
Lakewood, OH, my father graduated 55th in a class of 58 students.
This would seem to contradict an admission to a Polytechnic Institute.
In addition, when he was 21 years old, his Social Security
application listed his employer as a Cleveland grocer, which is
consistent with photo "Top Right" above.
Social Security application:
https://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/per68/ss_app.jpg
However, during the years I worked in their offices I noticed that
dad frequently received mail addressed as "Harry E. Landsberg, Jr. OR
The Engineering Research Institute of Florida." I asked him about
this once and he was hesitant to explain. When I persisted he said
he'd created a corporation having to do with pre-fab houses he was
building in Homestead, Florida. I do not know if he actually did
build homes, but he and mother are on record as having bought and sold
various homes in Dade County, Florida.
In my senior year of college I became motivated to do whatever I
could to learn more about my family. Among other things, I called the
Secretary of State's Office in Florida to ask about this corporation.
I was told there was nothing listed under that name. To date I have
found nothing in the archives at the Secretary of State's Office with
a similar name. It is possible that this "Institute" was registered
in another state.
Part of my snooping at that time revealed that my parents paid a
regular monthly payment to something with "Virginia" in the pay-to.
The amount was over $700 per month, but I cannot recall if it was $750
or $780. I did not know what this could be. It might have been a
mortgage payment. There was another regular monthly payment of $400
-- one I did understand. These and other considerable expenses were
somehow supported on a modest apartment manager's salary. As
explained below, there might have been military disability pay, and,
in the late 70's, there were Social Security payments to supplement
this income.
In the late 1960's, when we lived in Ohio before moving to Miami,
Florida, my father was a "sales engineer" for a large corporation.
(See photo "Bottom Left" above. His occupation is listed as "sales
engineer." I deleted the name of the corporation.) Last year I
emailed this firm to ask if their sales engineers are indeed
engineers. I was told that many, but not all, of their sales
engineers are engineers.
In 1970 we sold our roomy suburban home and most of our possessions
and moved to Miami Beach, FL, where my parents became an apartment
management team for a small complex. We had apparently fallen on hard
times. My father painted hallways and made repairs for tenants for
six months and then we moved to Greater Miami to a larger apartment
complex. From that time on, until 1981 when I moved out, I observed
that my father was rarely on the premises in his role as apartment
manager. He would usually say that he'd been out golfing. He was, in
fact, an avid golfer.
------
My parents said they moved to Washington D.C. shortly after they
were married. They were married in '41 or '42 and, as the story goes,
mom was the secretary to the Undersecretary of the Navy -- to the 2nd
in command, was my understanding -- and dad was a salesman for a
film/theater company based out of Fostoria, Ohio (John B. Rodgers & Co
-- also spelled Rogers). Later, they said, they moved to Hamburg, NY,
and then back to Ohio where they settled in the Cleveland area until
moving to Miami.
Dad had various sales jobs in the years between 1950 - 1970,
according to information obtained from various siblings' birth
certificates, and according to my own memory. On my birth certificate
(February 1959) he was listed as self-employed under the name of a
company he is on record for having registered about six weeks later,
in April. That company was dissolved in December 1961.
I asked my father once if he'd ever been in the Army. He told me
that he'd wanted to join but they wouldn't accept him because of
circulation problems in his legs. He added that they offered to do
experimental surgery on him to help correct this problem. He accepted
the offer, he said, but the surgery was not a success. I accepted his
explanation, and he did have circulation problems.
The day he died I accompanied mother to the funeral home and sat
with her while the financial arrangements were made. When she was
asked if my father qualified for VA burial benefits, she said yes. My
husband recalls me coming home that night and expressing confusion
about that. We thought my father had never served in the military.
Last year I looked up what it takes to qualify for VA burial
benefits. My father would have had to complete substantial military
service to qualify for VA burial benefits, unless a single failed
experimental surgery would have sufficed to qualify him.
I am estranged from my family and cannot inquire about this, though
there is no reason to think I would be told the truth. I do not know
which branch of the military he might have served in.
Update November 14, 2002: In the spring of this year I sent in a
request for my father's military records. I decided to try Army
first, and if that didn't produce results, I would try the others. On
October 28, 2002, I received a Certification of Military Service from
the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO. Harry served
in the Army for a brief period in 1943 (45 days).
Certification of Military Service:
https://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/per68/army.html
----
Update May 12, 2003: On April 24, 2003, I wrote a letter to Lyndal
L. Shaneyfelt, to whom the US News & World Report photo was
attributed. I enclosed a copy of that picture and a copy of CE 900,
with the man in question circled, asking if he could help me identify
him.
He responded that he does not know the individual in the photocopies
I sent, but suggested that he may be "the chief surveyor who with his
crew determined the distances and angles from the president to the
various poimts [sic] such as the triple overpass, the window of the
Book Depository, and other locations of interest."
It had been suggested to me by more than one researcher that the man
in question might be Lyndal L. Shaneyfelt himself. (Tom Purvis at
Lancer stated it as a fact that the man was Shaneyfelt. Allan
Eagelsham assumed it was Shaneyfelt because a "sniper's nest photo"
shirt he wore was similar to the shirt worn by the man who resembles
my father. But I found another man in the Specter photo that looked
just like Shaneyfelt -- wearing a white shirt.)
(I would load Shaneyfelt's letter to my home page but have been
unable to edit or upload files in recent days.)

Update 5/27/04
In the past year I caught my husband, Richard Hanning, Jr. in
several lies about his military service. According to various
versions of his story, he also served (though in the Marines) just
through basic training. I met him in 1985 while working a temp job
for a friend of my father's -- at a Marine Covering manufacturing
shop. Richard was earning minimum wage then.
He told me that he scored the highest-ever on the Dade County
entrance exam for the Marines, and that he signed a contract
exclusively for stateside service. He said he did basic training at
Parris island, got the highest rifle rating (which I believe is
"expert") and then learned that his group was going to be sent to
Algiers. According to his first story, his mother contacted Dante
Fascell (D-FL) to get him out. This past year I asked her about that
and she denied having anything to do with helping him get released
from his contract. She said he got himself out.
When I confronted him about this, he said he told that lie because
he had seen so many deaths during basic training (?) When asked
again, he said he was medically discharged for an asthmatic condition.
He told me he turned down a scholarship to Cal Poly Tech in order to
join the Marines. Most recently, he told me that the scholarship to
Cal Poly had not been offered to him until two weeks after he'd
already committed himself to the Marines.
Turns out I know very little about my husband of 18 years. He has
some weird things in common with my dad -- "the Polytechnic
Institute" stuff, and the discharge-after-basic-training only. When
we were dating he told me that he had been a cocaine dealer in Miami a
few years before we met. He bragged about having had up to 15K in his
pocket at any given time. He claimed to know some of the biggest
Columbian drug dealers, but I don't recall their names. Perhaps
Richard and my dad knew each other in Miami before 1985. Richard
denies this.
According to Hanning Family lore, Richard's mom was a photographer for
the Navy with a Top Secret clearance. His father was in the Navy, and
that's where they met. Her second husband was also a Navy man.
I believed Richard was my protector all these years, and I was very
devoted to him. He appeared to struggle from one job to another,
moving my son and me all over the country, putting us under extreme
stress. I thought he had made himself a target on my behalf, because
I had been a target -- and I deeply regretted introducing this baggage
into his life. Since I was sufferring from severe post-traumatic
stress when I met him, the constant subsequent stress eventually broke
me. He forced us to move frequently, to live above our means, to
accrue an enormous amount of debt. He strongly disapproved of me
getting therapy or support for the substantial trauma I experienced as
a child and a young woman. I now believe he deliberately created
extreme stress in our lives, that he had never been a target, but that
I have been the target all along.
I just recently realized that the stress increased a thousandfold in
the months after I discovered this photo of my father in "US News &
World Report."
I am in the process of divorcing Richard because I no longer trust
his intentions toward me or our son. He is attempting to cut off the
funds my son and I need for our basic living expenses.
Our son had the potential for a brilliant academic career but all
the moving-related stress and recent family stress have weakened him
to the point that now, as a senior in high school, and president of
his class, he may not even be able to graduate.
----
I broke a ten year silence and contacted two family members for more
information on my parents.
A maternal uncle, Charles Volkmer, said he didn't know who my
mother, Donna Jean Volkmer Landsberg, did secretarial work for in the
Navy in the 1940's. He claimed not to recall where they were married
or even if he and his wife Ruth had attended the wedding. He seemed
unsurprised by my phone call, and asked for proof for my suspicion
that my father was a deep cover spook.
I contacted my brother, Harry III (Herky), and asked him about
various things having to do with our mom and dad. I learned that we
have different versions of family lore in a few significant areas.
Herky said when the parents were in DC in the early-mid 1940's, he
understood that our dad was an ironworker ("built multi-story
buildings… [unintelligible] out on the iron") and that dad had worked
in Sandusky, OH, "at Plumbrook which was a big military thing that
they were building, and then I think they went to Washington DC and he
still did that."
I was told dad worked for a film/theater company (John B. Rodgers &
Co) when he and mom lived in DC. In fact, some of my parents' friends
created a scrapbook (in the mid-1970's) of our parents' significant
moments together and they included a reference to dad's work with John
B. Rodgers & Co.
I asked, "How do you suppose mom got on with the Undersecretary of the
Navy? Was she that good?"
He replied, "I don't know… no, I don't … I've never asked her. I
don't think it was a really a very long thing in their life."
It was Herky's understanding that our dad had been in the military and
had been medically discharged. "He was called … I think it was
'44/'45 … he had been called several times and varicose veins always
prevented him from going. But they got so desperate for troops they
did draft him and he did pass the physical but then he was discharged
to basic training… he entered and was in basic training, but I'd say
just a couple of months."
Herky seemed surprised to learn that our dad was "honorably
discharged." (I, personally, don't know the difference between a
medical discharge and an honorable discharge– 'Certification of
Military Service' link from my home page -- link above.)
I was told that our dad had never been in the military, but that
he'd agreed to experimental surgery for circulation problems in his
legs.
My brother, Herky, sincerely believes that I am mentally ill -- it
is an unearned reputation I have apparently been unable to shake. I
recently mailed him a packet containing some of the information I've
accrued over the years.
----
…."Herky, dad was a salesman all those years – different places –
stuff like that?"
"Hm-hmm."
"Do you know what he did with Gar Garland? Like ... they shared
office space – I thought it was in Lakewood (OH)."
"Yeah, but they didn't have any business dealings together."
"Right. They shared office space. Do you have any idea what Gar
did?"
"Okay, I … Gar married money."
"Lois had money?"
"Yes, well, owned a couple of shares … [unintelligible] … freighter
… sand and gravel. That's all I knew… [unintelligible] .. ships."
----
Gar and dad were close. They shared office space in the Cleveland
area for a few years. I never knew what Gar did. Dad was working for
EFCO at that time, as I recall (Economy Forms Corporation). Dad
supposedly had a secretary, but my sister and I never met her. We
were permitted to play at her desk on days when dad would bring us to
the office.
A search at Military.com showed that Gar & Lois' son is a veteran of
the 441st Military Intelligence Detachment (CIC) -- Vietnam, 1967-71.
I was searching on the Garland name for personal reasons and took note
of the 441st entry because it was mentioned in Dick Russell's, "The
Man Who Knew Too Much" (page 109).
From http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/nagell2.htm
"Truth or Dare: The Lives and Lies of Richard Case Nagell" by David
Reitzes
"In the fall of 1957, Richard Case Nagell was reportedly working for
the US Army Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC), 441st Counter
Intelligence Corps Group, at Field Operations Intelligence's Far East
headquarters in Tokyo.(1) According to Nagell, he was supervising a
review of classified Military Intelligence files,(2) but also "a
non-paid, confidential informant" of the CIA.(3)"
Herky and my other brother, John, were both in the Army during the
Nam years, though, according to family lore, neither served a tour of
duty there. John was a journalist in Seattle, Washington and Herk was
a paratrooper in Guam.
I asked Herky what he understood that our dad was doing in 1964. He
replied that, as he understood it, our dad owned Cle-Land Partition
then (in Bay Village, OH), and that he had done work with him. "We
made wooden partition for offices…"
I was born in February, 1959, and my birth certificate listed
CleLand Partition as my father's place of employment.
According to Cuyahoga County /Ohio Corporate records, CleLand
partition was created six weeks after my birth -- in April 1959, and
dissolved in December 1961.

It was great hearing from you again after all these years. I
have read all the information you provided and found it very interesting.
I can try to address a few issues. As far as the kidney
transplant goes Todd was diagnosed very early with what's called Alport's
Syndrome. It's a disease that causes hearing and kidney (I know it sounds
odd) problems. As his kidneys failed his hearing got worse. With the
transplant he is doing great and his hearing loss has leveled off.
I can't really discuss many of the issues in dad's life very
intelligently. I can say that I find many of the things you mentioned
highly improbable. Dad could sell ice to Eskimos. He was a great
salesman because he was a bullshitter (yes, like me). But to think he
might be involved in some high-level nefarious things is a stretch. He was
totally undisciplined and would go golfing anytime for any reason.
In those days lots of folks were called "sales engineers" and
very few had actual engineering degrees. I worked for an engineering firm
and most of those geeks couldn't sell anything. Our sales engineers were
sales guys who knew a little bit about construction. Dad started and got
bored with all kinds of companies. He had the attention span of a gnat.
In Florida it was my understanding he was collecting social
security and mom was doing the work. He basically was retired for much of
the time there. He worked as a "starter" at a country club so he could play
golf for free.
I'm sorry to hear that this stuff has consumed your
life all this time. If you send me your address I will be glad to send
Rich a graduation gift.
I love you kid. --John

My Guide says John loved me but he could not stand up to his mother or his wife.
He picked some of us up at the airport once while he and Donna (wife) were living in their first house in Bay Village. Donna had not yet taken her bar exam by that time. (They lived just behind St. Raphael's when she was remarking about how nervous she was about the exam. She was sick until she got the results, and she had done very well.)
We stopped at a lounge on the way to Bay Village from the airport. John and I danced, and then he whispered in my ear, "Don't tell Donna."
The summer before my parents and all others destroyed my immortal soul for the first time, John and Donna were living in the house behind St. Raphael's. John and I took a walk one evening and sat down to talk on the steps in front of the the building where the priests lived.
He asked me something like how could I love a man (Dino) who hit me? I hadn't known he'd known about that. We talked for a time and then headed back to his house.
His wife, Donna, poked her head out the front door and ordered me to go HOME as we were on the sidewalk before we'd reached the front of the house.
HOME for me that night was Arthur Madden's house, a few blocks away, on Midland. I think he and Dora were married then. She was the "twig lady" according to some neighborhood kids, 'cause she spent a lot of time picking up twigs in Jenalee's front yard (Arthur's first wife, friend to Father McCaffrey).
I didn't know why Donna was so upset. John was my brother. I had a right to talk to MY brother. But she shooed me away very rudely and harshly. I believe it was that night that I went away wondering if she thought I'd fuck my own brother.
Donna had been a professor of Political Science at Baldwin Wallace when she and John met. He was one of her students.
John told me she was a virgin, and that he'd broken off his engagement with Donna Harper, a woman he loved, because she had confided to him that she'd lost her virginity in college.
(I was around age twelve when John and I had this discussion. I was visiting Ohio from Florida and we were walking from Grandma’s to somewhere. [He had lived with Grandma for a few years between his time in the Army and the time of his marriage.] It was kind of an unusual thing for him to bring up with me. I asked John if he was a virgin, because it wouldn’t be fair of him to expect that from a woman if he wasn’t a virgin himself. He said he was, but he wasn’t very convincing.)
I believed, during one visit to John and Donnamarie's house behind St. Raphael's, that John was having sexual thoughts about me. But I had good boundaries, believe it or not, and would not have gone to bed with my own brother.
I have been pummelled and beaten into nothingness because I was sweet and beautiful and men liked me and loved me. That is and was my greatest crime.
Small women will torture a woman like me to keep their turf. And pussy-whipped men cow-tow to them. And the greatest evil in the world is a result of this.
I believe that George Herbert Walker Bush was appointed to his first political position (though evidence indicates he was already C.I.A. by the time John Kennedy was assassinated.) After that I think GHW Bush may have won a TX election. He was never a popular man. Just a touch more capable of below-the-belt evil than most evil men.

Me, around 1979:

My Guide, whom I believe to be God, as I did when I was alone in my apartment in 1985 and suicidal (please see "Round Two: http://home.earthlink.net/~sammark4/id5.html), says:
Laura is from the Divine and she was sent here to help and to love and to teach. We are the "Sensual Beings" written about in suppressed texts, and the enemies of God know this. They engineered religion and society to be about sexual repression.
People bought into it and that is why My enemies have been able to convince religious leaders and even politicians around the world that they are better of continuing this war on God and God's people.
Please understand that Laura was raped and tortured and and gang-banged during rituals as a child. When she found her own sexuality, her brain was stimulated by wires previously implanted to urge her to be insatiable for sex.
The evil United States has done such an effective job at slandering this lovely woman that even the Muslim countries want nothing to do with her.
Therefore, as it is written in the Bible... interruption...
It is not for you to consider...
Laura doesn't think you can give up your positions of power over women.
Therefore, as it is written in the Bible that Laura loves and honors, you will all be destroyed.
The End.
Continued....
Laura was most appalled by the news story out of Saudi Arabia where 15 schoolgirls were left to BURN TO DEATH because the religious police would not permit them to exit because they were not properly attired, according to their repressive rules and regulations.

Saudi police 'stopped' fire rescue

Saudi police 'stopped' fire rescue
Saudi Arabia's religious police stopped schoolgirls from leaving a blazing building because they were not wearing correct Islamic dress, according to Saudi newspapers.
In a rare criticism of the kingdom's powerful "mutaween" police, the Saudi media has accused them of hindering attempts to save 15 girls who died in the fire on Monday.
About 800 pupils were inside the school in the holy city of Mecca when the tragedy occurred.
According to the al-Eqtisadiah daily, firemen confronted police after they tried to keep the girls inside because they were not wearing the headscarves and abayas (black robes) required by the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam.
One witness said he saw three policemen "beating young girls to prevent them from leaving the school because they were not wearing the abaya".
The Saudi Gazette quoted witnesses as saying that the police - known as the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice - had stopped men who tried to help the girls and warned "it is a sinful to approach them".
The father of one of the dead girls said that the school watchman even refused to open the gates to let the girls out.
"Lives could have been saved had they not been stopped by members of the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice," the newspaper concluded.
Relatives' anger
Families of the victims have been incensed over the deaths.
Most of the victims were crushed in a stampede as they tried to flee the blaze.
The school was locked at the time of the fire - a usual practice to ensure full segregation of the sexes.
The religious police are widely feared in Saudi Arabia. They roam the streets enforcing dress codes and sex segregation, and ensuring prayers are performed on time.
Those who refuse to obey their orders are often beaten and sometimes put in jail.
