Questions


1. A Figurative Forest Fire
 

During 1999 Johns Hopkins had likened my then medical condition to a forest ravaged by fire, a stark contrast to my past as a multi-tasking achiever who now felt entirely finished. However, through resilience and determination, I not only recovered but emerged even physically stronger than I was in my 20s, leaving many astonished and some confused, grappling with the surreal nature of my transformation. A prominent figure remarked on my comeback, noting most men would have lost everything, further highlighting the remarkable journey I had undertaken against all odds.

2. Should Of Could Of

Some observers might feel there were missed opportunities for earlier intervention or more thorough investigations; however, the reality is that navigating a landscape where various entities operated with impunity presents significant challenges. When professionals and authorities act merely as rubber stamps, and regulatory agencies are perceived as managed nuisances, the potential for thorough oversight diminishes, thereby complicating the Due Diligence process.
 
3. Managing Attorneys

The term "Managing Attorneys" serves to distinguish a subset of legal professionals whose focus is aligned with operational Governmental and Private interests within specific entities, rather than the broader field of general legal practice. A troubling pattern is where inquiries and concerns about regulatory and safety matters were continuously funneled back to attorneys in various capacities, highlighting a siloed approach to problem-solving. Push aside City Planners and different levels of oversight raised red flags, particularly in light of the hesitance expressed by the Petroleum Development Corporation regarding Platinum Properties. This situation underscores the complexities involved when Managing Attorneys are primarily tasked that often leads to intentionally fragmented communications and a lack of accountability across various entities, thereby impeding effective resolution of pressing issues.

4. Admirations

A 2005 European's profound admiration for America, stemming from cherished childhood encounters with American military personnel, showcases a heartwarming narrative of cross-cultural appreciation. His wonder at 1950s American automotive innovations highlights his often stated remarkable achievements of a nation that has evolved in just 500 years. The family's stellar engineering lineage, epitomized by the Mercedes Gull Wing and Audi Quattro, emphasizes a legacy of excellence, while our close friend, Catholic Father Manfred's role as a Vatican historian and philanthropist reinforces values of tolerance and diplomacy. A two-week stay in Italy with such distinguished figures offered enriching insights into cultural connections and a shared commitment to human ideals where WV was mentioned with awe, culminating with Father Manfred's image placed on a postage stamp

5. Real Forest Fires

During the same May 2005 Italian trip, we found ourselves grappling with disbelief as we called home to our youngest son, who was terrified by the chaos—forests being torn down and bonfires raging where the Partners were at work. Despite my calming words, I was oblivious to the gravity of the situation unfolding back home.

 Six years later, in 2011, the truth arrived in the form of a professional who visited our West Virginia home, zeroing in on the very area my son had previously described as "ripped out by the roots." The professional's astonished reactions, coupled with his examinations and the report he submitted in April 2012 revealed the existence of a Fourth Partner, shedding light on the bewildering events that had transpired.
 
6. Harvey

On February 6, 2014, a Commissioner / Attorney made light of my cane with my wife and another present, unaware I had reached a point of feinting against store shelves and such. Whereas, months later I underwent life-threatening surgery in Germany due to my years long neglected condition. Following the procedure, we were taken to a recuperative hotel where excited locals shared that Moscow Channel One had recently aired a story about my neurosurgeon. Our planned three-week stay quickly turned into just one day as I, with the assistance of a friend, relocated ourselves to Bavaria where a kindly law enforcement officer, who had visited our home the previous year, hosted a barbecue in our honor.

Shortly thereafter, a close friend remarked that those responsible for my ordeal owed me a great deal. However, by July 2014, we learned that my unexpected successful surgery had shifted our circumstances dangerously, yet we pressed on, preparing for visitors scheduled in October. When our acquaintances arrived, one had a chance encounter with a notable stranger in West Virginia, who inadvertently shared insights into past events, leading to is subsequent inquiry about whether anyone had been prosecuted for the troubling incidents released upon us in 2007 which he had witnessed; the answer was a disheartening no.
 
7. Denominator Breeched Agreements\

 
The repercussions of Developer, City and State actions took a toll on our community, where the behaviors of certain entities in the hopes of controlled publicity and suppressed human rights violations failed to maintain a façade of societal stability despite the underlying turmoil. By 2011, international disapproval began to surface, leading to undeniable interventions in 2012 that illuminated the broader issues at play. In response to the growing crisis, management sought to Reset The Timeline in attempts to redirect the narrative of the damages inflicted on the people of West Virginia.

WV Assistance

Frank Lacaria: My father's central part in locating said Lost Cortright Mining Map is already mentioned.

DOH Supervisor: He'd pull me into his office and would not let me leave without providing me detailed information that the "Lost" Cortright Corning Mine Map did exist in Charleston WV along with a years earlier video of parts of the Deep Mine.  

Richard Marsh: My father in law, Richard, was the right hand of the late Coal Magnet Jim Compton whereas others had long stated Richard fixed what others screwed up.

A February of 2007 Situation threatened all we had where I acquired various Contractors and Engineering Firms, some of which had no idea what to do. My father in law Richard possessed a broad knowledge of the area where I drove him above to 113 Platinum Drive where he stopped me at Building 109 Platinum Drive and said 109 had been placed over a coal seam and that they, (Platinum Properties), destabilized the area. (My father also stating the same late on).

Richard provided corrective plans to address Platinum Properties drainage damages to our property, which threatened both our family's ancestral red barn, (which emotionally tore my father up), and our new massive antique car garage. Horner Brothers Engineering understood my father in law's design and provided us plans where we then hired a high-end Commercial Contractor, who Platinum's future Slope and Retention Pond Contractor Laurita could not believe I had obtained. Whereas, our Commercial Contractor would periodically call Richard while he was fixing our area to make sure all was done correctly, as he naturally would, for Richard had also trained said young Compton years ago.

Ray M. Henderson: We hired WV Consulting Engineer Ray M. Henderson in 2007, who was the Retired Head of Engineering for Consul Engineering where an area of his Oversight was the Cortright Corning Deep Mine that Eastpointe and more was built on and around.

Expert Adam: Four years after our Tenured Higher End WV Engineer Ray M. Henderson, a Multi-Degreed International Engineering and Legal Expert arrived. A $5,000 a day individual, who also worked as an Arbitrator for Countries. He'd extensively examine and document the Partnered areas surrounding us and forward his 50 Page Report to our Federal six months later.

Summary

We had the best of the best. Richard Marsh's insights and connections were instrumental in developing corrective plans to save our family's ancestral barn, new car garage, our financials, along with Legacy areas of our City. The continuing devastating outcomes from the Partner's Breeched 2005 Agreement. The Continual Drainage Devastations upon us and our City which were the stated Inevitables warned of by our City's Previous City Manager.

Richard Marsh's collaborations with experienced professionals like Engineer Ray M. Henderson, said DOH Supervisor, Frank Lacaria, along with his long partnership with a high-end contractors, underscored the importance of our having knowledgeable allies in resolving such intricate issues. Nonetheless, another year of our lives lost whereas as then, as it is of today, none have answered for anything. In the end, all the above listed were instrumental in stopping a far greater threat to our Bridgeport WV, as it would've been the same threats for our Rutherfordton, Forest City or Shelby NC. Threats, which are far beyond this website to cover.
