Do not let WKRN, Andy Cordan and these people who have defamed you get away with this. WKRN and Andy Cordan need to be held accountable in a court of law for the harm they have caused your reputation.

There are many fine attorneys that would be more than willing to take your case.

Libel: Making defamatory statements in a printed or fixed medium.

Mrs. Szuliman you need to contact an attorney. In my opinion Andy Cordan and WKRN has been negligent in publishing these defamatory statements about you. I am sure you are not a racist, which has been said and implied in many statements here. Also, I’m sure you are not any of the other vile things that have been said about you here. Otherwise, you would not have given back to the family all the things you did and preserved the others for all to see. You could have simply thrown it all away and forgotten about it.

The people who have made these comments can be identified during discovery in a lawsuit. Please, you need legal representation.

WKRN and Andy Cordan need to be held legally liable for what they and all the people here, who printed lies about you, have done.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, on you!!!! This story really hit home for me. What if this was your grandmother? Your family history? Your selfishness, and lack of respect for other human beings is very disappointing. I hope you lose sleep, then maybe you will rethink your decision and do the right thing.God sees and hears everything we do!! God Bless You!

Family history is a wonderful thing. And, it’s even more wonderful when you have the privilege of preserving and sharing it.

Right now I am attempting to organize things in my home. We have lived here almost 34 years and the house is full of 34 years worth of living and stuff. I have found that I will let things go because I have nothing pushing me to organize. I am not moving, I don’t have an estate to close, and nothing, and I can do it tomorrow. I am 65 years old and healthy and know that if I live I will just get older and there may come a day when I really can’t deal with all this stuff. So, I had better organize it NOW.

My husband’s mother died when he was 9 months old. His maternal aunt got social services and took him away from his father and three older brothers. He didn’t know they existed until he was 19 years old. His maternal aunt took his bio mother’s photo albums and other items. So, we have his family’s photo albums and books. I don’t think his brothers know that.

While I was attempting to organize this stuff I came across a tiny brown book of Shakespeare that my husband’s biological mother owned. She had written the names of all four of her sons in that book. I know that her older sons never saw any of those things and I seriously doubt if any of them were ever given any of her things.

I had a friend who told me that she had nothing of her mother’s handwriting and how she wished that she did. I am a personal historian and I feel that people need to know their own history and that family members do cherish pieces of their history.

My husband’s oldest brother’s birthday is this month and I suggested to my husband that he send this tiny book with his mother’s writing to his oldest brother. I told him, “Your brother lost his mother when he was 9 years old. I am sure he has nothing of his mother’s. I am sure that he would love to receive something that belonged to his mother.” My husband said, “No,” it’s mine. He felt that this belong solely to him and why should he share. After all he lost his Mom when he was 9 months old. We talked and I shared with him how I am the oldest and how there are many things that I don’t have and never will have because I lived far away when my parents died and I was out of position. I said, your adoptive mother took those albums. And, there’s a good chance that they would have been lost anyway. But, they are not lost and you can share them with your brothers.” My husband reluctantly signed a birthday card and placed the tiny book in the envelope and mailed it to his oldest brother.

On my quest to organize this STUFF, I found a negative of three young boys. The negative was probably of his brothers taken when they were 3, 6 and 9 in the early 1940s. We took it to National Camera and had 8 x 12s made and mailed the photos to them. The second brother died years ago, so we sent it to his widow. I wished we had found that picture while he was alive.

The youngest brother who was three when his mother died was so happy to hear that there was a picture of him. The only picture he has of himself is one that was taken of him in high school.

I plan to back up all the photos and documents and discuss with my husband what he would like to do with them.

I think it’s wonderful that his mother saved those photos and documents. And, I feel that if they had been left with the three brothers they would have been lost, but they weren’t lost we have them and I feel they should be shared.

I feel that Mrs. Szuliman should feel privileged that she found the history of the Thomas family. I feel she should make copies of everything for herself. (That way if she decides to publish a book she has the backup materials.) Then sit down with the Thomas family members and come to an agreement on how to share those photos and documents with their entire family. Mrs. Szuliman has been given this opportunity to demonstrate just how generous she can be.

My IP address was logged when I registered here. WKRN can easily verify that I am not who you say.

Unlike you, I do see clearly that what is happening to Mrs. Szuliman is WRONG!

Since you are WRONG about who I am, maybe you will realize you are WRONG about Mrs. Szuliman.

I still stay, if any harm comes to Mrs. Szuliman, her family or her property, Mr. Cordan should be held legally liable.
