Talk:Jay's Journal

Not that I don't believe the revisional edits you did, 208.35.24.169, but I have interviewed multiple families about the Sparks/Barrett's relationship. Dr. Barrett was my doctor for 26 years, and I knew him personally before his death, but never discussed this subject with him. However, I have spoken with multiple people who lived near him, office workers and others about Jay's Journal. I think there is more than sufficient evidence that Sparks may be a pen name. Please provide a source of this being false, and I'll gladly let it go. Until then, I have four sources who point to Sparks as being a pen name for the mom. -Visorstuff 06:05, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

The Truth Behind "Jay's Journal"
My name is Scott D. Barrett. Alden was my brother, and Doyle was my father. I was the one who tried to edit your article on Jay's Journal. if you pick up a copy of the current Salt Lake City Weekly Magazine, you will find an article that we did for them. the url is: www.slweekly.com/editorial/2004/feat_2004-06-03.cfm

In it, Ben Diederle interviewed both my mother, and Dr. Sparks. You will have final and absolute proof that Marcella, (my mother) and Beatrice Sparks, (my anathema) are two very different people. So, like Beatrice Sparks; your sources are not reliable. If you want an ACCURATE account (and I would like to see an accurate account in an online encyclopedia seen by thousands each year), and would like to dispel some of the myth and "urban legend" surrounding my family, please allow my edit to stand. Regards, Scott D. Barrett apits_71@hotmail.com


 * Thanks Scott, I knew your Father well (never met your Mom), but we never discussed this. I'll revert the change. -Visorstuff 19:39, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
