BBM. I agree. Clearly Seka's family and colleague's recognized GB's mind games and pulled her away before he could be of any influence. He really seemed to like to play mind games in a sense that his presence would greatly affect one's future, in positive or negative ways. I see that present in his letters to Seka and her family.
FWIW, I read the ending of the last letter as 'GB of Seka'. As if to memorize the sentence so it could be repeated later along with the notation of whom it was said about. It clearly looks like the word "of" to me.
Cubby, you beat me to the punch, I read "GB of Seka". In other words, GB dictating to GW about Seka.
I don't believe that Seka could have known GB from Dec "76 to 1978 without knowing his surname, anyone I have known and communicated with for any length of time, I certainly know their surname (not counting the internet, which was not around then).
I also don't know if GB actually knew Seka's family because with his delusions of grandeur, if Seka's family were well known/famous, knowing Seka would automatically make her family his "dear friends". Annasmom, do the letters to Seka's family look like originals that he never sent or do they look like carbon/roneo copies (yes, I know I am showing my age LOL).
The post I showed my colleague today is definitely in Serbian so I think we should organize a post on the forum.
I think we should still follow up on SB that I posted about, there are too many things that point in her direction and I just can't let it go without a rule in/out.
Seka is a shortening on Svetlana. SB is the granddaughter of Tito and GB nick named Seka "Little Tito". Tito lived in Belgrade and so did Seka. SB is obviously highly intelligent as she was a free lance journalist at the age of 15 (fame) and a cardiologist at the age of 25 (fame), with her intelligence she would have easily seen through GB's crap. GB obviously knew who Tito was to nick name Seka "Little Tito". SB was born in 1955 which seems to fit with Seka's age.
Tito had a connection with Russia, he was a prisoner of war in Omsk, Russia in 1918 and his first wife, SB's Grandmother, was Russian (this could be a connection between the families).
After re-reading GB's note to "Madam Romanticist", there is something else, that I will not post on forum (for SB's privacy), that makes me wonder if SB is Seka.
It may be premature but I would just like to ask SB straight out if she is Seka.
