Mine too! When I first saw the document at http://www.msnbc.com/news/786202.asp I had a moments thought that the illiam parts of both signatures was very similar. However, I had to recall that there were times when my signature was very near my own father's, also named James Swayze. This might be genetic or simply hero worship, trying to be like dad, in my own case and John Henry's. I was further convinced of this when looking at Ted's sig on his will. I assume wills need to be sign before one's lawyer or at the very least a notary public, yes? So it's unlikely that signature was forged by JH, correct? Now, despite allegations of JH signing memorabilia for his dad if one looks at the baseball at http://www.grandstandinc.com/pages/2280.htm and compares that signature with the will and the one on the pact at http://www.boston.com/sports/redsox/williams/july_25/side_by_side.htm several things are noticeable. Mainly the T in Theodore from the will and in Ted from the cryo pact note and the baseball are all obviously made by the same person. Next the illiam part is identical in both documents and on the ball and an even better match than JH's illiam that is prompting the speculation. The W is quite similar in both will and pact and memorabilia and very different from JH's W. The ending S is probably the most striking for concluding the same person signed all considered documents. Furthermore, the memorabilia signatures while close to the will are even more close to the pact. If the push to sign more memorabilia was made in more recent years it's reasonable to assume his signature evolved slightly, hence the pact and memorabilia matching each other more than they match the will. Here is a link to an art piece with his signature http://www.beninati.com/pages/Williams-legacy.htm and here is another http://store6.yimg.com/I/sportscards4u_1696_2324275. Hopefully a true hand writing forensic expert will be involved and be wise enough to see more than just a few samples before making any judgments. I mean it's not like there's a scarcity of samples. On another note, here's another article about the fight for TW. Doncha just feel so sorry for poor Ferrel, this lone protector of her father's guaranteed death? I mean, those cruel cryogenetical people... jeeez... harrumph! How dare they interfere with his peaceful death? It's just so gruesome to think of TW alive again, can't a guy just die in pieces? Ewww ewww ewww, icky ick yuck! http://www.msnbc.com/news/787796.asp Ok, I'm being a little sarcastic but this stupid 'person' (I have a better word) just irks me. Ferrel, "I won't be bought off", sh'ya right and a squadron of winged pigs just buzzed my window. She started this to get wiggled back into the will Daddy left her out of and we know it. Now she's stuck because backing out now will look really mercenary indeed.
