It seems the “go-to” response for
Tracy Ryan Terhune is to just say everyone, except for him, is lying. Why would George
Ullman need to concoct a lie to his children about the Rambova
letters? They only remembered them when I came along late in their
lives and asked them about things his father had. It was not a huge
deal for them but something they remembered seeing in his desk
drawer. They also remembered the incident with the other agent. They
were not people who lied. Must Terhune seize every opportunity to bash Rudolph Valentino's closest friend and trusted business manager, George Ullman? I do not think this is something Valentino would have appreciated... at all.
But here is the breaking news on his
response: If he truly believes these items were sold on the “Black
market”... then where did he get them? How did Self come to own them? Terhune is openly alledging these are
stolen items which he accuses Ullman of having no right to own. In
this accusation he implies these things belonged to the Valentino
family. And Bill Self told me that the Valentino family claimed
ownership of most of his collection but they would let him keep it
until he “kicked the bucket”. (His exact words). He also told me Jean Valentino carried a list of items he was seeking to recuperate for the family.
So how is it okay for Terhune to own
things which he claims were stolen and belonged to the Valentino
family? Makes one really wonder...How is he one bit better than the
person he is accusing of stealing these things to sell on this
“mythical” black market. He makes it seems as if they were sold
in some back alley like a bag of drugs with Ullman twirling his
mustache like the stereotypical villain. Things sold anonymously
through a dealer hardly constitutes an illegal transaction. Terhune's
constant use of the words, “Black market” in connection with
Ullman is only to slur the man further. Cheap shots.
In my opinion, when it comes to the subject of S.
George Ullman, Tracy Ryan Terhune really is the good and faithful
servant of the Valentino family. That vendetta (Alberto v. Ullman)
has been waged since August 23, 1926. Incredible really and now that
the court records have been found and the truth about what happened
to Ullman finally revealed, I think Terhune might cease in his efforts to further impugn
Ullman and me for bringing the truth forward. And maybe return all of
those so-called "black market” items to the family.
