Richard Ireland is 'America's Forgotten Psychic,'as he astonished everyone from the White House (Eisenhower)to the stars in Hollywood, and not to forget too, those in Las Vegas, where he was allowed to perform on stage but forbidden to sit at their gambling tables. His clairvoyance was incredibly accurate down to the smallest detail.
ReplyDeleteI was her houseboy at the Ravenswood back in the early '70. She was a gracious and delightful lady.
ReplyDeleteRichard was my friend. For the rest of my days I will never forget the time I was able to spend with him.
