Dr. Bill White, who keeps promoting himself as Jim Reeves' nephew, is currently on a TOUR OF INDIA, which he is making because he discovered Jim is popular there. Bill, as you may know, was appointed by Nashville judge Frank Clements to serve as Mary's "conservator" and supposedly look after her interests when she became ill. Instead, he allowed himself to be seduced by Ed Gregory -- who literally wined and dined him. Ed took him to the White House with him, got him Super Bowl tickets, bought Bill a red tuxedo like Jim wore, and booked White -- who is a Baptist preacher -- to sing Reeves songs at his carnivals.
Bill SHOULD have retained his independence from outside influence. Instead, at the very time he was supposed to be protecting his aunt Mary's interests, Rev. White in essence sold his soul to the devil. He RECOMMENDED TO THE COURT THAT THE SALE OF THE REEVES ASSETS PROCEED, and claimed Mary wanted it that way. He absolutely turned a blind eye toward allegations of abuse of Mary, and stubbornly failed to heed the warnings of many that Mr. Gregory was likely to destroy Mary.
The day that The New York Times revealed that Mr. and Mrs. Gregory had gotten pardons from President Bill Clinton in his waning days in office, and that Ed had hired one of Hillary Clinton's brothers, Tony Rodham, for hundreds of thousands of dollars and then couldn't explain exactly WHAT Rodham did for him, I got a call from Rev. White. He wanted me to know that he was completely unaware that the Gregorys were convicted felons.
To top it off, Rev. White -- who is now touring India with another man on what they bill as a "kindness tour," -- was foolish enough to breach his fiduciary responsibilities to his aunt Mary by signing everything over to Ed Gregory BEFORE ED PAID FOR IT, thus relinquishing Mary's security interests.
Ed then sold off every piece of Jim he could to the highest bidder.
I wonder if, on his tour to promote kindness in the world (and sing songs by his uncle Jim), Rev. White bothers to tell interviewers of the role he personally played in undermining Jim's legacy?
Click the link below and as you read the article, which seems to have interesting info about Jim Reeves in it and portrays Rev. White as a nice guy, keep in mind that what he told the court facilitated the sale of the Reeves assets to a convicted felon.
I will post a link to the second article in my next message.

This guy is absolutely shameless. Rev. White KNOWS what he did to destroy Jim Reeves' legacy, through his complete incompetence as his aunt Mary's "conservator," telling the court she wanted to sell to a convicted felon, Ed Gregory (even though Mary cried to friends that "they've taken everything away from me" and had the presence of mind to summon her personal attorney to her bedside -- BY HIS OWN ACCOUNT IN EVIDENCE INTRODUCED TO THE COURT -- and instruct him to try to recoup at least Jim's memorabilia from Ed Gregory. His efforts proved futile as Gregory heartlessly would not relent). And yet Reverend White is touring India to exploit Jim Reeves' popularity there, without mentioning, of course, his own reckless and destructive actions which have undermined Jim's legacy.
Here is yet another article in which a tone deaf reporter claims that Bill White is a Jim Reeves soundalike. Which is pretty hard to fathom since White is only related to Jim by his aunt's MARRIAGE and is not a true Reeves by bloodline.
This guy is absolutely shameless. He allowed himself to be seduced by the prospect of fame and fortune (as con man Ed Gregory was a master manipulator), and contravened the most fundamental principles of his Biblical faith. Instead of being contrite about that, he is on a world tour to promote HIMSELF, not Jim Reeves. The evidence for that is HE IS SINGING, and showing off what he thinks is his talent. He's not promoting Jim's recordings.
Click to read the latest article. And by the way, these are appearing in mass media over in India so Bill White is garnering tremendous publicity for himself. The reporter ought to be clued in to what this man has done.
