Just some of the flyers

My plan is to have three of me flashing my sign for 'frank' Hey Jim, why are there two 'Chuck's' and only one of us? Because Chuck likes to be one-up on everybody!

On April 2, 1991, a day after April fools day, Charles Collings, Raley's spokesperson, sent me a letter and threatened to sue me if I continued to spread falsehoods about Raley's. A portion of that letter is below and you can read his threat to me. Since that letter, Charles Nordby wrote his book "Raley's Exposed, Who On Earth Saved Raley's?" For some strange reason Collings hasn't opened his mouth since and his threats have disappeared like a bold fox will disappear if it can sniff out the barrel of a farmer's shotgun.

After Nordby's book became public there was an incredible amount of additional information uncovered by me by going to the following places:

Reno, Nevada and visiting the Washoe County Assessor's Office to check out Raley's;

Wahoe County Recorders Office to check out filings by the Eagle Thrifty Gastanaga Brothers/Tom Raley;

Carson City, Nevada and visiting the Secretary of State's Office to ascertain records pertaining to the Eagle Thrifty stores;

CA Secretary of State's Office to review Raley's/Eagle Thrifty corporation filings.

I reviewed the newspaper archives at a number of different libraries (Placerville/Sacramento/Reno) to recover old articles that could shed some light on Collings', Jim Teel's and Tom Raley's activities around the time Raley's hired my dad.

I painstakingly poured through hundreds of reels of microfiche looking for any information about a company that I knew defrauded my dad back in the early '70s because had I not believed this I would have never gone to the library---what would be the point? Regardless to the amount of nausea I experienced peering in at the microfiche, much more information was discovered.

After looking at old newspapers from the '30s, '40s and the '50s, I realized that Raley's Rascals couldn't even get the correct year for when Tom Raley's first store in Placerville burned down in its history book. Sorry Joyce, but your dad's Placerville store burnt down in May of 1943 and not 1942.

After reading the 1943 newspaper account of this fire it became my opinion "arson" was written all over it. Especially after Raley decided to completely leave Placerville to open his next store in Sacramento approximately one year later.

For a guy who could make a decent profit in his 1st Placerville store (according to Raley's history book) he seemed to have hightailed it out of town after the fire destroyed his high profiting store. If his store was making such a great profit, why didn't he stay in Placerville and rebuild there and continue to rake in the profits?

Raley did rebuild but the rebuilding for more "profits" didn't happen in Placerville for 22 years after the fire. By then, everybody had forgotten about "the fire" that occurred in 1943-the one that drove him to Sacramento. Suspicious-suspicious-suspicious....to say the least.

So Joyce, please update your information on your website concerning the year of the fire!

Folks, these guys were caught big time and the local news media knows Raley's got caught too and closed its eyes to it all because the lies that Raley's fed them about its success for so many years seemed so magical, truthful and believable. Just like children believing in Santa Claus for so many years because the lie seemed so magical, truthful and believable until they finally realized as they became older it was all just a sham. Wow, what a rude awakening for any child knowing mom and dad pulled the wool over their eyes for a number of years.

It must have been too much for the news media to swallow after realizing that the top people of a successful privately owned company could be so dishonest. All that tasted so sweet about Raley's success became bitter and it needed to be spitted out. But this still didn't stop the local news media from doing its best to protect the status quo because it turned out the people within the news media were just as dishonest as those in charge of Raley's.

Collings had con so many people in his life he thought he could con me too with his veil threat of a lawsuit. Do any of you remember Mohammad Ali's fighting career when he fought his opponents? Well if you do, you will remember that most of his opponents took a beating.

Collings has taken a public beating and all he could do was slander Charles Nordby while hiding behind his loyal business & church friends who acted like they would go their deaths to defend him against any "security man" from Raley's past. Collings could also trust his dishonest friends at The Sacramento Bee because they were there to assist him too whenever he needed a positive article published about him and The Bee was certainly faithful to appease him with that!

Had Collings come clean when all of this took place in 1991, Joyce Raley Teel would have been spared the public thrashing she was going to receive and continues to receive. But Collings' pride ruleth because he is an authentic narcissist and when you are dealing with a narcissist, nobody is spared.

To read the complete letter, click on partial letter above.
In fact, I created this web site back in 2003 because of Collings legal threat to me.

Charles Collings went to church regularly so he could con people into believing he was a God-fearing religious man and this is exactly how Collings was able to con Charles Nordby. It turned out that what Collings feared more than God was somebody showing him how incompetent he was in the grocery business and into the picture comes Nordby. A man whom Collings knew he would have an easy time cheating, just like Nordby discovered suppliers and vendors knew they would have an easy time cheating Collings on Raley's invoices. I wonder if the suppliers and vendors were attending the same Sunday church as Collings?

It didn't take long for Nordby to realize that any janitor mopping a dirty floor, who didn't have a days experience working inside of a grocery store, could have easily replaced Collings as president based on what he uncovered in Raley's operation. It must have made Nordby dizzy trying to understand why Tom Raley had such an inexperienced guy running his company. A guy running his company into the ground.

In 1969, it's possible a lot of Raley's people were jumping ship thus allowing IBC (incompetent bookkeeper Collings) to just take over the position because his christian conning ability was needed to persuade creditors and suppliers into thinking everything was fine at Raley's. My big question is why didn't Jim Teel become president in 1969?

I guess Raley determined it was also better to have Collings at the top spot of his chain of grocery stores when it went bankrupt than to have his son-in-law Teel at the helm because this chain of stores was going bankrupt....and soon! Was this Tom Raley's plan? To use Collings, an inexperienced man in the grocery business, to be the scapegoat for when Raley's did go bankrupt? It is hard to determine but it may have been part of the equation. It just seemed like during this time period nobody was exempt from these kinds of shenanigans and how unfortunate for Nordby to have walked into a company that basically was a den of thieves and a house of dishonest scheming people.

Religious man Collings also knows the story about David and Goliath. The Sacramento business community, the Sacramento religious community and the Sacramento news media had taken a cockroach dressed in a business suit and made him into a Goliath.

Unfortunately though, Cockroach Collings couldn't survive the single stone of truth smacking him square in the head that was thrown at him by two unknown nobody's who decided that enough-is-enough and stood-up for their dad and made it clear to everybody in Sacramento that Collings was just a fraud, "nothing more and nothing less." They came out of nowhere and destroyed the big lie that had been going on in Sacramento for so many years. Collings and his well polished reputation, along with Tom Raley's, came crashing down like a giant redwood tree would have come crashing down after the teeth of a power saw completed the journey through its base.

If Collings thinks he has survived the public thrashing that has gone on for the last twenty years, he better hope he can survive the eternal beating that is in store for him when he faces God.

God isn't a respecter of persons and God will devour all the phony preachers of this world who came to Collings' defense while at the same time devour all the crooked newspapers on the take. What a glorious day it will be when God makes the fraudulent ink from The Bee vaporize into thin air and its newspaper deception will have vanished into obscurity and won't be anywhere around to assist Collings when that lone moment comes and turns his ego and his arrogance into total humility! When all of this is said and done, the only thing Collings will see of himself is total slime. The same slime he left a trail of wherever he traveled in his life.

Below represents flyers that were mostly created by me and passed out around the Sacramento area. Some were passed out in the neighborhoods where Chuck Collings, Joyce Raley Teel, her husband Jim and her son Michael Teel lived. Some were distributed in the areas where a number of The Sacramento Bee journalists lived. Some were even distributed in neighborhoods in close proximity to a number of Sacramento's biggest churches.

The point being is that all of these flyers were passed out publicly after Chuck Collings threatened to sue me if I continued to spread falsehoods. I guess all the flyers below weren't considered falsehoods by Collings because I never needed to get an attorney. It turned out that Collings was now too busy directing his own dishonest attorney in fighting my dad's lawsuit against him that he just didn't seem to have any legal quality time left for me. And I was looking forward to my day in court with Collings too because I was prepared to legally drag his dishonest ass all the way around the perimeter of Sacramento County and show the entire community what a fraud he is.

For some time now I have offered $100,000 to the first person who could disprove Charles Nordby's claims about Raley's (how he alone saved this company from going broke) and I thought Collings would have been the first person to contact me to collect the money.

My offer of money was probably the first thing in Collings' life that brought his runaway-speeding arrogance to a screeching halt and eliminated any thought of this man having an ounce of credibility. Because if Collings could have disproved my dad, his ego and his pride would have done that many years ago to the satisfaction of his phony religious friends. Actually, I believe that "Charles Nordby" was the first person that brought Collings' runaway-speeding arrogance to a screeching halt back in 1973.

The only thing that Collings could do was educate his phony religious friends with the fact that the biggest problem any prolific liar will encounter is the inability to manufacture a speck of truth.

It was easier for Sacramento's religious elite to ski down Christian-Collings' hill of lies than it was for any of them to look at reality with common sense and climb up Nordby's mountain of truth. A mountain of truth with nearly 9000 thieves scattered around it in which all of whom were caught stealing by the same man. A man without one false arrest in his life.

I guess Sacramento's religious elite didn't want to believe Nordby because he didn't wear an expensive business suit or maybe because he didn't attend one of their church services on Sunday to get that real close-up personal taste of their phoniness.

As long as the Church had smiling Collings sitting in the front pew, while he weekly added to its offering bucket, they could accept anything that was dishonest about him and it didn't matter to them, not-one-iota, that he defrauded an honest man with nine children.

Note: Charles Nordby never saw one of these flyers while he lived and never knew that they were being passed out publicly. Although he did know about the first flyer I passed out during Tom Raley's memorial service because Raley's called Nordby when he lived in Lake Tahoe to tell him what his crazy son was doing. But he never saw that flyer.

Well, for being his crazy son, that was one of the best flyers I created and passed out publicly!

The movie that wasn't identified in the flyer was "JFK" and it was playing in the theaters during this time period.

Also understand that this flyer was created hours before Tom Raley's memorial service so there were many grammar/punctuation errors, etc., within the flyer. I just wasn't the talented writer that you will find at The Sacramento Bee newspaper. But what do you expect from a "crazy" man? I guess the big contrast between me and The Sacramento Bee is that I felt it was more important to print the truth than it was to print the correct usage of a word or the correct placement of a comma.

One additional note: At no time, with any of these flyers below, was I ever looking for media attention or media publicly for myself but at all times I was looking for justice for my dad. In fact, the "Welcome To The Neighborhood" flyer is practically the only flyer that has my name on it because Raley's put my name on it when they sent it to me. A Sacramento Bee "letter to the editor" from the past has my name on it too in one of the flyers below.

After Raley's became aware that this flier above was being distributed during Tom Raley's memorial service, Raley's had people going around the downtown streets/parking structures of Sacramento and pulling them off the parked cars. Understand that the City of Sacramento had closed off its streets near the downtown area where this memorial service took place.

Shortly thereafter Raley's contacted Charles Nordby in Lake Tahoe and informed him of what his crazy son was doing in Sacramento and yet at the same time Raley's didn't think it was necessary to contact the City of Sacramento to inform them how crazy it was for them to close down its public streets for the late Tom Raley- a two-time wife abuser.

I guess distributing the truth the way I did during Raley's memorial service would be considered "crazy" to some people at Raley's. To me it will always be one of the greatest things I did in life when on this day I stood up for my dad to let the people around the Sacramento area know I was going to put a stop to the big lie going on and put a stop to the public applause being given to local frauds.

And I did it in such a clever way by not even including Charles Nordby's name within the contents of the flyer so that only Raley's people would know.

As you will see below, I had a lot more of my craziness to be distributed around the City of Sacramento after this flyer was passed out at Tom Raley's memorial service in 1992. My craziness was just getting warmed up and knowing I was in control of the thermostat, I was planning on turning up the heat.

Nordby at this time, while living in Lake Tahoe, told Raley's that he had instructed his sons not to do anything else while he was writing his true story about Raley's. He basically told them in a very professional way to be prepared because he was going to kick their ass.

Shortly after the top people of Raley's became aware of the fact that Nordby was writing a book about them, The Sacramento Bee newspaper started to include articles about Charles Collings and how wonderful Collings is as a person. Articles having the appearance of attempting to cushion the impact for when Nordby's book about Raley's and Collings would become public. An obvious sign of collusion between the two.

I was even willing to take my craziness to San Francisco's annual 7 1/2 miles Bay to Breakers race in the year 2000. I am hoping that the thousands of other runners
I passed during this run noticed the three dishonest faces above my naked butt and not just my cute naked butt. I must have really looked crazy when I ran the 2000 S.F. Bay to Breakers race with the picture of three people above my naked butt for 7 1/2 miles through the crowded streets.

I could have never imagined when I was a young boy just how dishonest and cold the world would be when I became an adult. My dad was sending me a subliminal message back then, just by the number of people he was catching stealing, that you can't expect honesty from a lot of people. In fact, since his employment with Raley's, my dad taught me through his own experiences that you should expect others to be dishonest before you expect them to be honest. How sad of a reality that is and even sadder when I think how dishonest people found it so easy to cheat my dad and not even care because they were all so cold!

Shame on anybody who learns of this story about Charles Nordby and then shops at Raley's afterwards. Sorry, but this person lacks good ethics too!

In this flyer I make reference to Joan being wife number three, but actually, she was wife number two. But, in Raley's history book, wife number two was actually wife number three and Raley's omitted Tom Raley's actual wife number two in its history book. What a bunch deceitful people Charles Nordby went to work for.

The above flyer (bottom half is below) was a message to Sacramento's religious leaders, courthouse judges and the news media.. I believe it consisted of eight pages. The "donkey tales" in the page below, is making reference to Glen Cole's story about a purse snatcher that he chased during the night up in the State of Washington.

There are a lot of hidden messages within this flyer specifically for the Cole's of this world. The reference to dollar sign $ = Devil's spear through a donkey tail---refers to those religious leaders who become wealthy and well off preaching the bible. Then they go through life thinking they are something special in this world....

The eyes you see belong to Charles Nordby.

The "buyboobsbuyboozebuycigarettesatraleys" seen above is saying to the Church leaders that if Charles Collings was such a religious man, why didn't he remove booze, magazines with womens breast visible at the registers and cigarettes from Raley's? He was the top guy at Raley's. He had it within his power to eliminate these worldly sinful products from all the Raley's stores....why didn't he?

Especially knowing that in 1991 Collings proudly told my brother Jack and me, while sitting in his office, that our dad was just a "boozer." And he stated that to us right after I asked Collings why wasn't he able to catch all of the costly problems going on at Raley's before my dad was hired? Do you see how easy Collings' narcissism kicks in when it is convenient? And shortly after he said that he stated our dad wasn't even hired by Raley's until 1975 which he knew was just another one of his convenient narcissistic lies.

The lone eyes you see belong to Charles Nordby.

The "Welcome to the neighborhood. New Resident Certificate" flyer below is an interesting one to say the least. My wife Kathy and I had just moved into a home and Raley's sent to me this "Welcome to the neighborhood" coupon promotion to my home. It had only my name on it because my name was the only name placed on the deed when the home was purchased.

Raley's was going to the County Assessor's Office/County Recording Office in finding out who was purchasing homes in the Sacramento area so they could welcome the new homeowner. So I thought this would be great opportunity for me to create another flyer. And that flyer is below and was passed out in Joyce Raley Teel's neighborhood and other residential neighborhoods.

Imagine being a homeowner and finding this flyer in a plastic bag hanging from the door knob to the front intrance of your home? They must have thought Raley's was welcoming them into the neighborhood and they were going to get some free stuff until they realized it wasn't sent to them at all but was just a flyer being used to embarrass the richest fraud woman living in Sacramento. Hopefully they got a good laugh out of it.

Think of this too: Raley's is welcoming me, Crazy Frank Nordby, into a neighborhood. The guy who passed out flyers at Tom Raley's memorial service. Now that is something worth laughing at!

Below represent the pages of information that were included in my "Welcome to the neighborhood" flyer. I must say, this was very clever of me. Especially the part where I tell Joyce to keep the free stuff/hot goods.

Above you will see I had a flyer at one time offering $25,000 to prove Charles Nordby wrong then increased it to $100,000.

The local news media have been aware of the fact that many of these flyers were being passed out publicly, even next to its buildings...yet, the local news media has never once reported to the public that these flyers were being passed out publicly.

Had somebody been passing out flyers demanding that stupidity should no longer be taught in the public schools, the local news media would have probably reported the story. But because my flyers highlights the truth about Raley's, and its stupidity, the local news media closed its eyes to it all because Raley's is the big local advertiser in the City of Sacramento and in many other localites in Northern California.

When you spend the kind of money that Raley's spends on advertising, you will then expect a lot of respect in return from those you are sending your advertising dollars to. Just like if you feed 100 dogs food everyday, you can expect 100 dogs to be loyal to you everyday---same exact thing. The dogs will eat right out of your hands and even lick them too!

It's just a dirty rotten shame!

It was a dirty rotten shame what happened in New York on September 11, 2001-less than three months after this article above was published. A little over three months after this article above was published, I was publicly passing out my next flyer, directly below, in the area where I passed out my first flyer at Tom Raley's memorial service...The local news media knew I was passing out this flyer too. UFCW 588 knew who was passing out this flyer. I could tell UFCW 588 knew by what I experienced on the American River levee/bike trail where I ran everyday and it was a very scary experience!
