If I don't him from him reasonably quickly, I'll e-mail Kenny himself and show him the letter I got. I promise you won't be mentioned. Whatever this situation is, someone has more than likely taken my saying that "it had been rumored and I personally believe it was true" to "Yes, it did happen that way." It's so long ago that I can't really remember the exact process, but it's something I think I got initially within our crowd (Buzzell, Reavey, Stebbins, Woodsie, McGrath etc.) and probably overheard corroboration within my mother's family, since there was little gossip that failed to make the cut and the brothers and sisters were always eager to find fault as we...

It's certainly something that I've related to discreet individuals over the years, but I'd be unlikely to have posted such a thing in a public forum. I'll ask Beverly Emmons and Dave Messier if they remember seeing anything. They're George Benoit's niece  and nephew. When Kenny's parents divorced, many people, including my father, felt that Jim McGuirk had muddied the waters between the two parties. An unholy mess, with the penchant for gossip in large extended families contributing to rampant rumors. Nice to know Roger considers me an "eminence grise," anyway. Damn if I'm...
