Zeev,
So right.. my reading error. Thanks for pointing that out.
William also blamed that wrong info about his grandma on Mr Norwine,
too..LOL
It was the alleged parasol that starred in the film. ;)
I was curious about Coalinga, CA. As of the 2010 census, it had a
population of a little more than 13,000 people. It is located in
Fresno County.

The funny thing is that this gent claims exactly the opposite:
That his grandmother was NOT in GWTW. Only the parasol was! But I
can see how this point can lost, plodding through this, shall we
say, over-long and “excitable” post.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] FYI -- Heritage & GWTW
And what was the name of this person's grandmother? Why would
William not include this?
Seems very odd to leave that little bit of information out of the
story, as anyone could write such a claim, saying that his/her
unnamed, anonymous grandma or aunt was in GWTW.

Surely, if someone's sending family heirlooms off to auction, what
they can't describe them as is "totally priceless".

Heritage Auction Galleries / Mr. Doug Norwine / Heritage Galleries
And Auctioneers A Life Time of Memories are Gone With The Wind,
Treasured Inheritance vanishes from FedEx box Dallas Texas
Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me and now my inheritance worth $30k to
$40k is missing!
Heritage Auction Galleries, located in Dallas Texas is the subject
of this Rip-off report. The Director of Music and Entertainment
Memorabilia for Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers is Mr. Doug
Norwine. I will present the evidence that will prove, beyond the
shadow of a doubt that Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me. It also appears
that Mr. Norwine was responsible for misrepresentation as it
relates to my deceased grandmother being in the movie “Gone With
The Windâ€.
My grandmother was Miss. California in 1935 and then she became a
Hollywood movie actress. She had a fantastic collection of movie
star photographs. I had fantastic 11 x 16 and 8 x 11 inch
autographed photographs and snap shot pictures. I had snap shots of
my grandmother with the original Three Stooges, Betty Grable and
many others. I had a full two page newspaper article that was all
about my grandmother. This same two page newspaper article had a
picture of Bing Crosby with his arm around my grandmothers’
waist. How cool is that? I sent my only copy to Mr. Norwine, it was
totally priceless.
I had pictures of my grandmother in costume on the movie set for â
€œChina Seas†which stared Humphrey Bogart. I had snap shots of
Carol Lombard on the motion picture back lot. I had 11 x 16 inch
photographs signed of Jayne Wyman (President Ronald Regan’s first
wife), Ann Southern, Florence rice, and many many more!
I had original “Gone With The Wind†movie stills, my
grandmothers’ Motion Picture Employee identification card, and
many original photographs of movie stars from the 1930’s and 1940â
€™s. The vast majority of these photographs had a personalized note
or wishes in addition to the signature of the movie star.
Mr. Doug Norwine claims he personally signed for the FedEx box, but
that is not the truth. I have proof that Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me.
I spoke to Mr. Doug Norwine late in the afternoon on 2\16\2006. He
said the deadline to have my parasol included in their upcoming
auction catalog was the very next day.
Mr. Doug Norwine asked me to send my photograph and newspaper
collection with my parasol. He said that these collections would
support the authenticity of my parasol being used in the movie â
€œGone With The Windâ€.
The box went FedEx overnight from California to Texas. Mr. Doug
Norwine said he signed for the box and opened it himself. He said
the photographs and newspaper articles were not in the box.
Photograph and newspaper collections do not just selectively vanish
from sealed FedEx boxes while in transit.
Thank God I took pictures of my photograph collection right before
I mailed them to Mr. Doug Norwine.
I put the photograph and newspaper article collections in the box.
They had to be there when the box was opened.
The FedEx “Track Shipments Detailed Results†printout that I
have shows a person with the name of “S.MCCLENNY†signed for the
box on Feb. 17, 2006 at 9:03 AM. The tracking number is 841186856634.
I called FedEx to inquire about the possibility of there being a
mistake about who signed for my box. FedEx said there was no
mistake. The FedEx customer service person that I spoke to said
that a person with the name “S.MCCLENNY†signed for the box, not
Mr. Doug Norwine.
Someone is lying. Either I lied about putting the photograph and
newspaper collections in the box with my parasol and continue to do
so by virtue off writing this rip off report or Mr. Doug Norwine is
lying.
I am telling the truth. I am not lying. I will go take a lie
detector test today and be happy to have anyone that is interested
witness it.
I personally put my parasol, the photograph and newspaper
collections into a plain brown box that I found around the duplex
my wife and I were renting. I taped the box closed and took the box
to the closest FedEx office. I personally witnessed the FedEx
employee weigh the box, fill out the FedEx USA Airbill, attach it
to the box, and then put my box with all the other boxes waiting
for the next and last pickup for that day.
Why did he lie to me? What did or does he have to hide from me? Not
only did he lie to me but, he adding insult to injury, told me,
half laughing as he spoke his words, to look around my house. He
said I might find my photograph and newspaper collection in a drawer.
I could not believe the audacity, the cold hearted tone of voice,
and unprofessional behavior. I was being ripped off, lied to, and
insulted by a man who I had previously thought must be trustworthy.
How wrong I was. I should have listened to my wife! She told me not
to send my photographs and newspaper articles to Mr. Doug Norwine.
Are all the essential elements of a Bad Faith law suit present?
Grand Theft?
I am 47 years old. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 7
years ago. I was an Immigration Information Officer for the Federal
Department of Justice for 4 ½ to 5 of the last 6 years. My hands
and head started to shake more and more. I had to take a medical
leave from I.N.S. I.N.S. is now called C.I.S.
There are some memory issues as Parkinson’s disease progresses. I
might go upstairs and then once there, forget why I went upstairs
or forget the name of a meal that my wife has cooked 100 times but
I did not forget what I did with my treasured inheritance. I know
exactly what I did with it, when and where it was the last time I
saw it.
The last time I saw it was when it was in the box that had a FedEx
USA Airbill with Doug Norwine listed as the recipient, Heritage
Galleries & Auctioneers as the company, and 3500 Maple Avenue, 17th
floor, Dallas Texas 75219. I am listed as the sender, William ; I
now live in Coalinga, California.
How can anyone trust anything Doug Norwine says anymore? Once it is
established that he lied to me, doesn’t he earn the loss of any
and all creditability?
If I was Mr. Steve Ivy, the CEO or Mr. Greg Rohan, the President of
Heritage Auction Galleries, I would ask or tell Doug Norwine to go
take a lie detector test TODAY. If he has not lied and if he has no
knowledge of my missing collections, he should have no problem
taking a lie detector test TODAY!
I can not prove that he took my collection, but I can prove that he
lied to me about who signed for the box. Why did Doug Norwine lie
to me about signing for my box? What was Doug Norwine trying to
hide from me, his customer; from me, Heritage Auction Galleries’
customer?
How can anyone trust anything he says anymore?
One thing for sure is that Mr. Doug Norwine lied to me several
times. Another thing for sure is that my inheritance did not just
vanish from the FedEx box. Captain Kirk or Spock did not beam them
up out of the box and leave the parasol?
Now my inheritance, that I estimate the value to me to be over
$30,000 is missing.
Since things like that don’t just vanish, they have to be
physically in someone’s possession, and the question is in whose
possession. Perhaps they are in S.MCCLENNY’s possession.
I am ready to go take a lie detector test today
I believe that I would have gotten 10 to 100 times more than the
$650.00 that it finally sold for in their auction. Mr. Doug Norwine
cost me big time.
The auction catalog stated that the owner of the parasol was in the
movie “Gone With The Windâ€. I never told Doug Norwine that my
grandmother was in the movie, so who gave the advertising copy to
go with the picture in the catalog?
Where is my photograph collection and articles collection?
I want them returned, no questions asked
