September 25, 2018, my book, "Successful Leaders Aren't Bullies," is released and distributed worldwide by publishing giant, Simon & Schuster. 

On December 12, 2018, Toray Plastics America (TPA) of North Kingstown, RI sued me and, ironically, put themselves and this case in the public domain. 

They falsely claimed a common reader could identify TPA in my book. I looked forward to having the truth prove TPA wrong in front of a jury of my peers.

Denied my US Constitutional Rights to Free Speech and to a Fair Jury Trial, I plead with you, my social media audience, to publicize this story.

I also encourage you and those you know to seek the truth about my book. 

Can TPA, as they claimed, be identified by a common reader (someone who has no knowledge of Toray's inner workings) in my book, "Successful Leaders Aren't Bullies?"

In US Federal Court, it is pretty routine to have a case set for trial within twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months of filing.

51 months, or more than 4 YEARS AFTER Toray filed their case against me, TPA, on March 17, 2023, agreed, under influence from RI Federal Judge William E. Smith, to dismiss the case, with prejudice, and to pay all my legal fees. I signed or agreed to nothing, so I am exercising my constitutional rights to share the truth about this case. 

William E. Smith, paradoxically, had agreed to hear the case in August of 2022 despite Toray not being mentioned anywhere in the book.  He then delayed the hearing until March 2023 when he demanded the case not be heard in court.  

Coincidentally, Judge Smith and the Magistrate assigned to my case, Patricia A. Sullivan, had practiced law together at a RI firm before being appointed to RI's Federal Bench.

There is likelihood their former firm, one of RI's largest law firms, served TPA, one of RI's largest employers, as a client. 

Also coincidentally, TPA's counsel in their case against me clerked for Magistrate Sullivan. Smith, Sullivan, and Toray's counsel did not  recuse themselves. This information about their prior relationships was never disclosed.

So, why do you think my 1st Amendment Right to Free Speech (to sell my book) and my 6th Amendment right to a fair trial (to have my trial heard by a jury of my peers within a reasonable time frame) were violated?

Thank you for your thoughts and your publicizing this story. It shows how the US Federal Legal System can be used by wealthy organizations to bully individuals.

Author's Note: Joe Paterno was fired as Penn State's football coach on Wednesday November 9, 2011. Joe Paterno died Sunday January 22, 2012. He was eighty five years old and lived, for most of his life, like a king. My mother received her early death sentence, melanoma in her lymph system, when she was 35. She died when she was 44. I was seventeen. Since then, I've respected the dead and their families, and focus on their contributions and accomplishments when they pass. Thus, I off lined this blog when I learned Joe Paterno died. It's critical of him and his avoidance response when knowing his former prized assistant, Jerry Sandusky, was seen sodomizing a young boy in the Penn State Football Complex showers. I worked with Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky as a graduate assistant football coach. I am also a survivor of early childhood assault outside of my home. Multitudes of great football players like Franco Harris, Lydell Mitchell, Jack Ham, Curt Wa

"The Character is Higher than the Intellect." - Vince Lombardi The Vince Lombardi Trophy will be awarded to tomorrow's Superbowl victor. He is the sport's greatest coach. In his early life, he contemplated being a priest and then an attorney. His football writings, actions, and talks are sprinkled with indirect references to Christianity as when he tells his team they "will pursue, with every ounce of effort in their bodies, pure perfection, knowing full well perfection is not achievable in this life, but in the afterlife. But, we will pursued it with dogged determination." Players responded to his goodness. On the field he was beyond driven, but did nothing out of malice or deceit. His passion was to improve his players, and to build or expose their character. They trusted him and responded. Fourteen Green Bay players he inherited from his predecessor became either All Pro or Hall of Fame caliber. The year before Vince arrived, the Packers recorded

Was it a Sign?!

20 years ago this week Linda and I were married. A dubious omen followed. I lost my wedding ring on our honeymoon. We walked to a secluded beach, spread our blanket, and enjoyed each others' company. It was sunny and hot. The ocean was crystal clear, cool, and inviting. The ring fit loose on my finger. I was afraid it might slip off during a swim. It went into my shorts' pocket. It was wrapped and placed safely on the blanket. Not accustomed to wearing my wedding ring, I forgot about it until we reached the parking lot, about a half mile from where we spent these relaxing few hours. We walked back along the low tide line. Soon after, the ocean covered our trail. My heart dropped. My fingers felt no ring in my pocket. My hands rifled through my other pockets. Nothing. Linda looked at me with concern. I was flustered and irate with myself. She was an angel, and is still. She said: "Don't worry, our jeweler can make a duplicate". I was depleted, but a voice
