One of my favorite actresses, Judi Dench, was cast in the Made-For-Television Movie adaptation of Catherine Heath’s novel “Behaving Badly” from 1987. The Film was broadcast on Channel 4 in Great Britain during the months of February and March in 1989. Dench had her hair in a longer, bobbed style while she was playing this role. Judi Dench bore a passing resemblance to Warren Consolidated Schools Teacher Carolyn Armbruster while she was playing her role in the Made-For-Television Movie “Behaving Badly.” On the other hand, I would have preferred for Judi Dench to have worn her normal shorter hairstyle while she was playing this role.

The Rear Cover of this Brochure also lists Land Rover as a Division of the Rover Company in Rover and Land Rover’s ancestral home of Solihull, Warwickshire, England, United Kingdom; as this was prior to British Leyland splitting off Land Rover from the Rover Passenger Car firm in 1978.
Also on the Rear Cover of this Brochure is the Seal of the Royal Warrant that had been issued for both Rover and Land Rover on behalf of the ruling House of Windsor of Great Britain, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the British Overseas Territories.
Not only do I not like Rupert Murdoch founding the FOX Television Network and Television Cable News Channel, and always being politically Conservative; I also don’t Rupert Murdoch having always been a champion for Australia breaking away from the Commonwealth of Nations and becoming an independent Republic.
Not only should Australia never, ever become an independent Republic; but the FOX Television Network should have never been founded in the first place, Rupert Murdoch should have never acquired the NFL AFC Television Rights from CBS in 1993, but Rupert Murdoch should have also never founded the FOX News and FOX Sports Cable Channels; and American Conservatism should be the same as it was during the Presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George H.W Bush.
Such as shame that in sharp contrast to his mother, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch AC DBE; who was a staunch Monarchist, Rupert is a staunch Republican (not in the context of one the the Political Parties of the United States, but in the context of any citizen of a nation that is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations to become an independent Republic, such as, for instance; Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa).
I am upset over AM/Mediumwave Radio potentially disappearing in Japan over the course of the next several months.
The history of the Nippon Hoso Kyokai (NHK) (in the English language: Japan Broadcasting Corporation), and its historically important AM/Mediumwave Radio Stations; such as JOAK-AM and JOIB-AM, to name a couple, are very important to me emotionally.
In this Book that I wrote under my Pen Name “Wilbur Hay” that you may purchase a copy of from Barnes & Noble, titled “The Day-To-Day Lives Of A Well-Off Couple And Their Autistic Son”, besides the main characters in this narrative, the well-off couple and their Autistic son being passionate about Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television, and Amateur/Ham Radio; and them also being friends with a local firm that owns historically important AM/Mediumwave, FM, and Shortwave Radio Stations; and a historically important Television Station in their area, the couple and their Autistic son also own Vacation Homes in one of their ancestral lands, Great Britain; another one of their ancestral lands, Australia (specifically, Tasmania); and Japan (albeit Japan not being one of their ancestral lands), they are friends with the BBC, NHK, and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC, not to be confused with the American Broadcasting Company; also abbreviated as ABC); and several AM/Mediumwave and Shortwave Radio Stations in Great Britain, Australia, and in Japan are very important to them emotionally.
The link to this Book in question on Barnes & Noble’s website is below:
First and foremost, my communication with the Sprits of Walter Elias “Walt” Disney and Roy Oliver Disney involves how they do not like the directions that their descendants who have ascended to the roles as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the very company that bears Walter Elias’s name, the Walt Disney Company; and later sets of management who have since come into power (for lack of a better way to state it) have taken the company ever since Walt’s passing in 1966, and Roy’s passing in 1971; but also, in spite of Leonard Goldenson’s American Broadcasting Company (ABC) having broadcast the Disney Anthology Television Series from 1954-1961, again from 1986-1988, and again from 1997 to the present day; Walt and Roy are not happy about their company having purchased ABC from Capital Cities Communications in 1996.
As a Broadcasting enthusiast, I also regularly communicate with the Spirits of Leonard Goldenson, and other ABC Executives Elton Rule, Richard “Dick” O’ Leary, John Severino, Harold “Hal” Neal Jr., and Roone Arledge. Leonard Goldenson not only is not happy about the direction the Walt Disney Company under the successive management following Walt and Roy Disney has taken ABC, but Leonard Goldenson also is not comfortable over Disney having acquired ABC and Capital Cities Communications in 1996.
The only reason as to why Leonard Goldenson had sold ABC to Capital Cities Communications in 1986 is because Leonard had personally known Tom Murphy of Capital Cities Communications for many, many, years; and Leonard had a great deal of respect and admiration for Tom. When it came time for Leonard Goldenson to retire from the company he had purchased from Edward Noble, and for a time; had operated it alongside Paramount Theaters, as Leonard felt that no one already within the company, including seasoned Executives such as Frederick “Fred” S. Pierce, could assume the role as CEO once Leonard had retired. Even after Leonard had sold the company to Capital Cities Communications, Leonard had remained on the merged ABC/Capital Cities’ Board of Directors until Disney had bought the company in 1996. Leonard would ultimately pass away, and transition into the Spiritual World in December, 1999; at the age of 94, just 20 days following his 94th birthday.
Walt and Roy Disney communicate with me about how they were somewhat brutish businessmen who were not afraid to fire someone or lay anyone off at a moment’s notice, going to lengths to having the custodial crew at their Studios during the midnight hours remove an employee’s Desk and Chair; only for the employee to return to work the next day, to not only find their desk and chair being absent, but also that the employee him or herself had been canned. And, Walt and Roy Disney also weren’t afraid to strike with their iron fists when they felt it necessary; such as when their employees wanted to unionize during the late 1930’s and early 1940’s, shortly before the United States of America had entered into WWII.
Walt and Roy Disney communicate with me about their love for animals, and their love for animals being evident in their Short Film with Mickey Mouse, Pluto the Dog, and deities in the form of Dogs (one who represents an Angel in the form of a Dog, and the other who represents Satan in the form of a Dog) from 1941 that is dedicated to the Tailwaggers Foundation titled “Lend A Paw”, reminding the audience that those who are kind to animals are likely to wind up in Heaven, and those who are cruel and cold-blooded towards animals are likely to wind up in Hell; in their 1961 adaptation of British Author Dodie Smith’s 1956 novel “The One Hundred And One Dalmatians” with not only the evident rendering of the Dalmatians, but also the Great Dane, the Border Collie, the Bloodhound, and the Black Labrador Retriever in their 1961 Animated Film; and also, the Bloodhound and the Irish Setter named Seamus that are both in the animated portions of their 1964 adaptation of Australian-British Author Pamela Lyndon “P.L” Travers’ 1934 Book titled “Mary Poppins” starring Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, and also in the 2018 remake of the 1964 Feature Film starring Emily Blunt, Ben Whishaw, Lin Manuel-Miranda, Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Angela Lansbury, and Dick Van Dyke.
In part and parcel, due to their love for animals; Walt and Roy Disney communicate with me about how if they were still in charge of the Walt Disney Company, they would adapt my Book about a family of Bracco Italianos adopting an Autistic human boy, and rescuing this Autistic boy from the bad family and bad surroundings that he came from; and also making fun of the (modern) society of the 21st Century, and generations of people born after 1975:
Indeed, Walt and Roy Disney communicate with me about how they don’t like the (modern) society of the 21st Century; including the Democracy of the United States of America being under threat not only to the chagrin of I, the owner of this very Blog; Walt and Roy Disney themselves, and intelligent and intellectual American citizens, but also to United States Presidents George Washington, John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and Ronald Reagan; but that modern, unintelligent Americans of younger generations have the audacity to vote for candidates such as The Evil Donald Trump for President of the United States.
True, Walt and Roy Disney, as do I; compare Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and the Kim family of North Korea to Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Francisco Franco; and Walt and Roy also compare Vladimir Putin to many of his Soviet predecessors, including Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin.
Walt and Roy Disney communicate with me about the time they had lived on the Farm in Marceline, Missouri with their parents Elias Charles Disney and Flora Call Disney, and their siblings Herbert Arthur Disney, Raymond Arnold Disney, and Ruth Flora Disney from 1906-1911; until the family had relocated to Kansas City, Missouri; due to their father Elias Charles not being successful as a farmer, because their father really didn’t know how to farm.
I communicate to Walt and Roy Disney that I belong in a rural area, but not on a farm; where there are a least a fistful of Stores and Restaurants within a reasonable driving distance from my house within a rural area.
Walt and Roy Disney communicate with me about their Norman French, English, and Irish ancestry; their original surname being D’Isigny (meaning from Isigny in the French language), their family having originated in the Commune of Isigny-sur-Mer, Normandy, France; their family having moved to England during the Norman Conquest in 1066 A.D/C.E, some of the family having moved from England to Ireland in the 12th Century; some of Walt and Roy Disney’s paternal ancestors having immigrated to Canada from Ireland, and Walt and Roy’s grandfather Kepple Elias Disney being among those who have immigrated to Canada from Ireland, before one of his offspring and Walt and Roy’s father himself, Elias Charles Disney, in turn; would emigrate to the United States from Canada.
I communicate with Walt and Roy Disney about my French, Belgian, Austrian, and Polish ancestry; that my family originates from both France and the French-speaking portion of Belgium, that somehow, my great-grandfather Romuald Parij had met and eventually married my great-grandmother Joanna Winters, a nurse from Austria; Romuald and Joanna, for whatever reason, had immigrated to Poland from Belgium and Austria, they had given birth to my grandfather Zebeginew “Roman” Parij in the City of Kołomyja, Poland (now Kolomyia, Ukraine) in 1919, the City of Kolomyia having been under Austrian rule with the German language name Kolomea, from 1915-1919, the City had been retaken by Poland with the name Kołomyja in 1919 around the time my grandfather was born, the City had been annexed by the Ukraine in 1939, with the Ukraine renaming the City Kolomyia; and I also communicate with Walt and Roy Disney about there being a potential ethnically Ukrainian branch of my family, with people such as Vasyl and Mokyrna Parij (who have settled in Canada), and Ostap Parij (who had settled in Michigan, United States of America).
I communicate with Walt and Roy the fact that the descendants of Ostap have since anglicized their surname/last name to Parry, and that a descendant of Ostap Parry; Walter Parry Jr., currently resides in the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan (as of the time of writing this post), near a nationally and internationally acclaimed University; the University of Michigan.
I communicate with Walt and Roy the fact that descendants of Vasyl, Mokryna, Ksenka, Pantazanon, Julka, and Marian Parij, who have kept the original French-Belgian surname Parij (as have I, and my branch of the Parij family), continue to reside in the Canadian Province of Manitoba, Canada. Marian had passed away, and transitioned into the Spiritual World in 2012; and his wife, Belarusian-born Helen Rudak-Parij had passed away, and transitioned into the Spiritual World in 2020.
Lastly, I informed Walt and Roy that certain individuals from the Ukrainian-Canadian branch of the Parij family were categorized by Canada’s Department of Immigration and Colonization (which was responsible for immigration matters at that time) as Rusyn people, rather than as Ukrainian people, when they emigrated from Ukraine to Canada. Rusyn people are also referred to as Carpatho-Rusyn, Rusnak, and Ruthenian people.
