They probably won’t publish it, although the facts therein are as true as grace:

Keith Miller is a crook who thought his power and friends would protect him from the scrutiny he deserved. Truth is he had crossed the line more than this sexual peccadillo [and Hilton Head Island partnership investment] with a fellow employee. I watched him interfere with a spacious home in Lakeview Park so grossly under-assessed in the tax office for more than 45 years as to criminally accommodate a newspaper executive. When our knowledge of the scandal was brought to his attention, he refused to adjust the assessed value of this home as a Beaver Lake bungalow until we threatened going before the County Commissioners to expose him and the dishonest owners. Then, after blowing up, blustering, and threatening me, he did finally adjust the value of this high 7-figure Westwood Rd. home, but refused to impose any arrearages, although the owners, who bought the property in 1982, should have been required to pay the adjusted ad valorem taxes for the preceding 10 years.

And if justice had been served several people would have been prosecuted in the criminal courts for this corruption, including Miller and the unsavory owners.

Sacred to the Memory of Shelley Smith Williams, My Only Daughter, Whom I Always Loved and Adored So Much!

She died in August 2024 by her own hand. She was still just as young and beautiful the last time I saw her in 2024 when we got together for lunch in Newport to celebrate her birthday. This photo was taken at her high school prom in Alcoa, TN. Her escort is Tom Turnbow who went on to a very successful life. When he was dating Shelley, Tom and I sparred on the tennis courts of Alcoa. He was such a nice young man, great at tennis, and I hoped she would stay with him. But she could not brook an alpha male. Farewell, sweet girl, farewell. I hope I get to see you again and hug you and tell you how much I missed you…and how much love and beauty you brought into my life.
