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 received 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. Am currently active in real estate 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.

In 1935 Dad sailed 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 before 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!
