Adamson has just completed a month long course
given by Anthony Robbin's Personal Power II. Adamson feels that
Mr. Robbin's may put a little bit too much on monetary wealth.
Yet, that Robbin's had many good ideas on how to correct bad
habits and that we are brain washed into using negative ideas
that keep us from over coming these habits. Very enthusastic
Robbins is and I highly recommend his course to find Passion
over Pain. If you are having problems in relationships, drinking
too much coffee which leads to alcohol, Robbins is your man.
Very positive. My only point on wealth is that if a person like
movie stars, whom can drive around in a Rolls Royce, are they
really that important that their car could feed 40,000 people
for six months ? I am not that important are YOU?

At the age of 15 Bruce was the senior reporter,
editor and printer of the school newspaper at Boys Town of the
Desert. 35 years later on May 28, 2005 Bruce C. Adamson turned
51 years old! As a historian, genealogist I am a name dropper.
Bruce Campbell Adamson, born May 28, 1955
(JFK's May 29th) and baptized at Saint Timothy's Church Beverly
Glen and Pico in West Los Angeles. Adamson is a genealogist and
historian who has traveled throughout the country gathering photographs
and material for these books. Adamson graduated in 1985 from
Santa Monica City College. Following in his father's footsteps
(Douglas M. Adamson) Bruce majored in real estate receiving his
real estate license in 1981. One might assume that because Adamson
is descended from so many influential people that he is very
wealthy. Not so! Adamson has worked very hard on putting his
books together and this is the source of his income. I did not
inherit money from George Ely, Abner Bartlett, James or Harold
Adamson nor George Calvert. This is what builds character, developing
one's own skills and earning their own way. As a young man, I
remember two incidents of note. This is only brought out as a
historian and what would I be today if things had been different.
Once, while at the Santa Monica Court House I was on probation,
Elvis Presley was crusing around the parking lot at the Santa
Monica court house. Did not get to see him, he was too busy getting
ready for his defense in a divorce from Priscilla. An emailer
pointed out to me via email that they walked out afterwards arm
and arm. That is class. Turning 50 last year it dawned upon me
that Elvis passing at age 42 was very young. That was Oct, 9,
1973 about the same time the photo at the bottom of this page
where Bruce has sword and is ready for Sushi. My probation officer
then was Mr. Bronson, another piece of history was that I was
offered a chance to move into Paul Newman's house in Brentwood.
Nothing ever came of this, I have no regrets, for if I had I
most likely would not have found out about the interesting family
background. Yet, I respect Paul Newman and everything he stands
for as a human being.
Adamson, motherless, had a rough childhood.
At the age of 4 Bruce Adamson's mom in 1959 committed suicide.
After she had receiv ed
shock treatments and after loosing custody of her kids. Instead
of dwelling on this terrible tragedy of my mother's suicide,
I began focusing on her relatives and writing positive biographies
on her ancestors, which she never knew of. I rememeber my mother
taking me as a young boy to Saint Timothy's church. I only wish
I could go back in time and share with her all of these positive
stories on our family history: such as Rufus Easton, George W.
Ely, George Calvert, to the six Catholic and two Russian Saints.
Her death may in itself explain why Adamson became so interested
in CIA agent George de Mohrenschildt, who also was given nine
shock treatments which led to his suiicide. Adamson believes
de Mohrenschidlt's motives may have been honorable, as hard as
it may seem to believe. Adamson believes his suicide was a dying
declaration. Photo of Jim Hutton signed to Bruce from Hell Fighters.
Bruce followed in his father's footsteps,
sort of. Since 1982 he has been license by the California Department
of Real Estate. Bruce C. Adamson was taught by the best at Santa
Monica College; Professors Larry Gentry, (former neighbor to
Nicole Brown-Simpson; William Snyder, Esq. (Attorney-Broker);
William Reid, (Comedian); Silas. Ely (author of Basic Real Estate Appraisal 6th Edition.
Basic Real Estate Appraisal 6th Edition Richard M. Betts MAI
Silas J. Ely RECI) and others. For five
years I visited my father at the Beverly Mannor Convalencent
hospital and before he died I wanted him to know that I too would
be successful in real estate just as his father was when he developed
Larchmont Shores in the mid 1920s. I went onto other paths. Currently
have real estate license and am available for work with any broker
of your choice. In Carmel, Malibu, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Santa
Cruz, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills areas.
As a real estate agent in California Adamson
closed one real estate deal to actor Timothy Hutton. One of Hutton's
roles was to play the part of CIA agent Alridge Aimes. In 1982
Hutton took Adamson and Sean Penn to see The Alien, II. At that
time 1981-82 I knew nothing
about Hutton or Penn. I talked them into sneaking into the Westwood
theater through the backdoor. We got caught and thrown out. Yet,
the usher's recognized Penn and Hutton and we still were able
to watch the film. I had a trick where I would ask the people
coming out of the theater for their stubs. We were busted royally,
yet that is one for the books. Today both are top notch actors
both whom have received Oscars. Hutton is the youngest male to
ever receive an Oscar.
DAD's REAL ESTATE CAREER - MAKING HISTORY
In 1935 Dad sai led around the world
on the Joseph Conrad which is Mystic CT, Seaport Museum
Bruce's father Douglas Adamson on the other
hand had one of the largest real estate commissions in 1953 when
he took Ronald Reagan's good friend Earl Jorgensen out to show
him homes in Bel Air. Earl pointed to a house "I like that
one." It was owned by the heiress of Scott Tissue. The property
was not listed and a couple of hours later Douglas went back
and knocked on the door to get the exclusive listing for a 5
1/2 acre estate at 760 Bel Air Road. Which sold to Earl Jorgensen
for $240,000 with Douglas receiving both sides of the commission
a whopping $10,000. Last I heard Earl was still living in the
home. CLICK HERE FOR contract
between Elizabeth Scott and Earle Jorgensen.This
is the same home that Ronald Reagan watched on television his
victory as President having the largest electoral college count
ever. More than any other President. "Uncle" Bill Bakewell
used to call Dad "Million Dollar Adamson," for at Adamson
and Hupp this is what their sales total were per week. Bakewell
was a founding member of SAG the Screen Actor's Guild and was
an actor in Gone With the Wind, 1939 and All is Quiet
on the Western Front, 1930. Bill
Bakewell's career as an actor befor e he went to work at Adamson & Jack
Hupp. Photo to left is Douglas Adamson in October of 1954 at
the time I was conceived at the Yoga Shrine on Sunset Blvd with
Tat and Frank.

Other actors and VIP's Douglas Adamson sold
or showed homes to were Roy Calhoun, Henry Ginsberg (producer),
Michael and Fay Kanin, (Vice President at the Academy of Motion
Pictures and Sciences) Harry (Pop) Sherman (producer), Leo McCarey,
Seaman Jacobs (T.V. and movie writer), Robert Rossen (producer-director),
John Rogers, (producer), Dean Martin, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert
Mitchum, Louis Calhern, Don Wilson (radio announcer), Marion
Davies, William S. Paley (CBS founder), Welton Beckett and Buddy
Ebsen. Onoe of the stories that my dad told me is that he took
Elizabeth Taylor out to show her homes and cooked her breakfast
in one of the homes. Elizabeth was 16 years old when she sang
"It's A Most Unusual Day," written by Douglas Adamson's
brother, Harold Adamson. Before Dad went into the real estate
business he was a disc-jockey with Steve Allen at K-Koy and at
KLAC and in 1948 was voted one of Billboard's Top 10 Disc-jockey's
in the U.S.A. I remember my dad telling me that in the 1930s
he lived in the same apartment building as Ozzie Nelson. Westcheser,
N.Y. Doug was then a small time big band promoter. See
Douglas Adamson and JFK in same spot.
In 1967 I hit home run for dad's good friend
Bob Masson, Director of Goodyear Public Relations who was in
charge of Goodyear Blimp. Read the story
of the May 28th Birthday Home run in 1967.

ADAMSON HAS BEEN A DEDICATED MEMBER OF TWO OF THE
LARGEST UNIONS IN THE U.S.A. AMERICAN POSTAL WORKER'S AND MAIL
HANDLERS UNIONS. An interesting note is that in 1985 as a U.S.
mail carrier the last person I delivered mail to was LYLE
ALZADO linebacker for the Oakland Raiders. He invited me into
his home and was able to get autographs for my nephews. He was
truly one of the largest men in thickness I had ever seen. About
six inches larger than my Samoan friend who was the Olympic Weight
Lifter for the State of Hawaii and whom could bench press pver
500 pounds. Afterwards the first person I delivered mail to as
a clerk was my cousin Meg Foster in Topanga Canyon all this was
in 1985. U.S. Male, as Elvis would say.
Don't forget your mailman or women at Christmas.
Donuts, food or small gifts are always appreciated by your local
Postal Employees. In the long run it will assure better service
to you for they are working very hard!
