I just finished your book I got from Amazon. I admit I did a search on the Vanderbilt family and your book came up. Anyway, I read it and I feel so sorry for your horrid ordeals. Since the courts reinstated your name as the sole heir of your father, were you able to get your rightful Social Security? Isn't there ANY paper trail of your father and his family? Have you heard from any people that remember you when you were a baby? Was your father related to the Vanderbilt family (the Commodore)? And what about your Mom? How do you know your grandmother didn't kill her? Anything revealed about your sister's death? I have so many questions, as it would be driving me crazy if I was in your position. It's incredible what you remember, however, you were only 2, and sometimes our memories get mixed.. Your grandmother certainly seemed like an evil person, it's a wonder she got away with murder.

God certainly has a plan for you, or you would have bled to death at 2. We don't know why horrible things happen, but we live in a fallen world, and there are evil people. God knows that you've been through the fire. Stay strong! And God Bless you.

Sincerely,

Pegge

Hi Pegge
I was able to get my rightful social security card with my birth name on it. 
I am sure their is a paper trail because the investigators already found it in New York, but the last 5 years I haven't been able to look because I have some kind of illness that causes me to collapse, and it looks like an MRI showed that I have narrowing of the spine causing discomfort around the spinal cord. So I couldn't afford to pay an Attorney to look for anything, But I am now in touch with one who has been retained (by a friend of mine) to find out more information about my father. 

  This is why I couldn't write to you a couple of days ago, because this information was just made available to me. 
The answer to your question if my father was related to the Vanderbilt family (commodore)? My investigators said yes, but It has not been divulged to me yet. But I suspect that my father was in the lineage of Capt. Jake Vanderbilt; the Commador's brother, or from the line of William Henry Vanderbilt.  

Your question was: have I heard from any people who remember me as a baby? The answer is yes, I have just found out that my sis Kate had a older brother, who would be my half brother his name is William Henry and he is still alive. Once again this last week I found this out also. I am very excited about meeting him, and his family. There is no set date yet but I am now corresponding with his daughter who found my book on the internet and contacted me...
About whether Grandma killed my mother also I am not sure, but she did practice some unholy things, so I wouldn't doubt it at all. 
Kate had 2 sons and that is where I got boo-boo the bear from, but sadly I have not been able to meet with them, I believe because they have children and are afraid of repercussion. They have emailed me a few times, but when I really became ill I havn't kept in touch with anyone.
I haven't even begun to look into my sis kates death. 

You are right about one thing the Holy God has carried me my whole life. Reference to footprints in the sand. 
But as you will see when you read my website that I wrote this book for those who have had similar abuse, and in some cases much worse than me.
So if the Holy God has allowed all of these things to happen to me, then through my trials and tribulations I can give back by writing about it in hope that someone who is going through the fire, may pick up my book and decide not to kill themselves and draw strength from someone who has had some distress in his life. The proverbial life is a bowl of cherries changed to cherry pits. Ha, Ha.

Well I hope these were the answers you were looking for. I will keep you posted as to what happens next. If you have any more questions give me a holler.

have a great day and the Holy God bless you

Wayne.

It just totally baffles me how one person can do all that evil and get away with it. Where were the police? Friends of the family....? So glad you've located some relatives. Maybe the lawyer will dig up a paper trail. I'll look forward to updates. Pegge

 Hi Pegge

  In answer to your question "where were the police, or family members?" 

I do not know the answer to that question as I was only 2 years old, but I do know that I have seen on tv many times that money and power corrupt even what we call the pillars of society. I will leave it at that.

Hi Pegge

I was just speaking with my wife about the questions you asked me in the letter. What I am writing you about is your permission to place your letter without any personal information, on my website for viewers who might have the same kinds of questions. 

Thank you wayne

Answer from Pegge: That would be fine. Haven't you been bombarded with the same questions I asked?

 The answer is yes that is why I would like to use your letter.
