I had an Agent a while back who had me sign some Rights Transfer papers. In exchange, I was supposed to recieve 45% of the stock in a Florida company called "World Peace Productions" (See DOS info image below)
After I signed the Life Story Rights papers in 1992, some weird stuff happened while I was living in New York City, and I forgot all about the papers. By the time I moved back to South Florida and remembered the papers I signed, my Agent, Robert Fenton, couldn't be found. And the entertainment attorney whose office held the papers throughout those years, Cara Ebert Cameron (aka: Betsy Cameron) is also difficult to talk to. In fact, she didnn't even ACKNOWLEDGE the papers as being what I KNOW they are, when she wrote me a letter in 1997. Then I went to talk to her in her office a few months later, and for some reason, I can't remember a damn thing we talked about. Today, 2004, she no longer works out of the office @ the 2929 address in the image below, although her law firm is still huge.
Anyway, here's my question. Is there any way of being able to tell from the image below, whether or not the company dissolved in 1995 due to it having a "zero" net worth? Or could it just as easily have dissolved because the Robert Fenton WANTED it to?
If it DID possibly have worth, how would I find my stocks? Where did they go?
I don't have the money to track down SEC filings and such, or travel to Talahassee, FL to get answers.
Also, I never actually recieved any papers in the mail, showing that the stocks were issued to me. But, as I briefly mentioned above, some weird stuff happened while I was in New York City, and my mail could have been tampered with.
Thank you in advance,
Chip
Moderator,
All residential addresses above and below are outdated. Cara Ebert Cameron's address is of a well known media company and law firm.
And for what it's worth, I've got bigger problems in my life than someone stealing my identity. That's why I'm here asking questions that real life people should be answering for me. (As opposed to internet people)

contact the Fla Corp Commission
and
ask them if the assets of world peace productions were assigned to anybody.....
if not, then there is no ownership of the general assignment of rights....?????
if they did assign the assets to someone, ask them who, and start over...
this doesn't have anything to do with those ufo's that showed up on the mars rovers pix does it??LOL
pentagrams in the eyes of hurricanes? pretty interesting stuff.....
i would be a little worried about not remembering conversations with lawyers tho....

glass, thats not cool, thats BOB!
he publishes romance novels under the nom de plum of Julia Fenton and they are available at Barnes and Nobull
and for all of you aspiring writers out there, he will "read" your book and give you an opinion for only $350... maybe even be your agent, that's why i thought he might be your guy signedmylifeaway...er chipimeaned...

Thanks for the info glassman. That's more than I've gotten so far.
Another thing I'm concerned about is if those Rights could have been "transferred or set over" to another company or person after I sgned the papers and while World Peace Productions still existed... which might mean I don't have my Rights if they can be signed away as "a piece of property" like a car's pink slip. He could have even transferred them to another company of his own, if they have that "property" aspect.
What would REALLY help is those company reports from 1992, 93, 94... and 95 if there IS one. Where do I get this? How much?
Thanks,
Chip
I can't find a DAMN thing on Florida Corporation Commision online. I even tried Florida State Corporation Commision. It's like such an agency doesn't exist. Got a link?
Chip
I'll give the two most important date events, which helps to understand what I'm looking for...
9/92 I signed the papers and supposedly got 45% of the company's stock. Company got my Life Story Rights, "to use for any and all artistic purposes what so ever"
8/95 The company "Dissolved," although I still don't know if it was because of zero worth, or something that Bob Fenton did to MAKE it dissolve. That's one of the things I'm trying to figure out.
I guess it's like a scavinger (sp?) hunt of sorts. I was hoping that by posting the image of that corporate info (first pic in this thread) someone would know the answer to the bold question.
Other than that, I was hoping that the company reports for 92, 93, 94 and/or 95 (if there WAS one for 95), might show either a transfer of my Rights to someone else or another media company, PAYMENT to use my Rights, or simply nothing out of the ordinary... so I might be able to forget about this and complete my Trilogy of books @ theholygrailrevealed.com
For what it's worth, I DO have reason to believe that a particular well known company WAS given my exclusive rights... through transfer from World Peace Productions, to use the Likeness of my Life Story for material. (Movie, music video, etc., etc.) But I'll hold off on discussing that until I figure out what happened with this company and its assets... assets that included my Life Story Rights "to use for any and all artistic purposes what so ever"
For the curious; The Holy Grail Revealed originally started as an online book I wrote in 1998 called "The Illusion : Building The Perfect Beast"
It was a story about John Lennon being assassinated in 1980, David Geffen finding out how it was done, and then Geffen using certain artists to tell a story. The first album of that theoretical David Geffen project was Don Henley's 1984 album "Building The Perfect Beast." Others were the late 80's and early 90's Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses albums.
Some of the people who had read my online book saw a striking similarity with the "Kilroy Was Here" Styx story, which I didn't think about as I wrote my book... and was pretty young when those Styx projects were going on. My book, "The Illusion," ends with the theory that Guns N' Roses was working on a top secret documentary during the "Use Your Illusion" years (true), which never worked out quite the way it was planned (theory), or didn't get FINISHED as early as planned. (also theory)
You might be able to find my old book "The Illusion" cached on the internet somewhere. But I can't even START my Holy Grail Revealed project until I see every word of those company reports from 1992-1995. Based on research I've done locally here in South Florida, it looks like I'll have to go to Tallahassee to get the answers. I think that's where this all ends.

the guy that shot the ex-pantera guitarist this week? didn't he do it on John Lennon's death "anniversary"? things are just wrong ....
[This message has been edited by glassman (edited December 11, 2004).]
I knew the Pantera guitarist. In the beginning of my journey when I went to New Orleans to hook up with my brother's band in 1989, we played with them and also criss-crossed cities once and a while on tours. But I haven't seen him since my brother's band (and me) moved from New Orleans to New York City in 1990.
The people who shot Lennon never got credit. So now, if there's any doubt in any intelligent minds who might think Mark David Chapman could have been "tricked" into killing John Lennon, there's no doubt.

according to this site,

But can anyone answer the question I keep asking? I've basically told a story in the process of trying to get that Q answered... but maybe no one knows the answer.
Is there any way of being able to tell from the image below, whether or not the company dissolved in 1995 due to it having a "zero" net worth? Or could it just as easily have dissolved because Robert Fenton WANTED it to?
I think the first couple of lines have that info, but I don't know what it means.

Um I found your holy grail site too. Strange stuff. I stumbled across your CD page.
Can I get hold of a copy or some MP3's?
I'm in the UK, do odd bits with the music business.

That's funny. I was gonna post this hidden link with the full songs last night, but thought no one cared or that it would be off-topic.
SHUT UP AND DANCE!

I had to take down the sample-mp3's because that Hurricane Isabel news story at my site got picked up at other places on the net... and it gets crazy traffic. For what it's worth, another pent shape showed up this year in the eye of Hurricane Ivan right before he slammed into Alabama.

Not bad ideas. The Jam Master tribute was pretty damn good. You outta do bootleg mixes. Sling a couple hundred copies out on vynyl.
Anyway, hope you get this thing sorted out.
JM-Jay Tribute; Isn't it funny how Steven Tyler ends up EVERYwhere?... when you least expect it?
I actually started that song idea with the first two Run DMC songs, and not intending to finish it with the Run DMC/Aerosmith "Walk This Way" re-make. It's like Stven Tyler is a virus or something, but a harmless one
