We didnt really hear anything else about it until it was in the paper a couple weeks later. This was in the 70's (75-76 maybe?). I cant remember too much since it was a long time ago, but i do remember she wasnt fazed by this at all since it went on a lot, according to her. if it was anyone else, i'd say they were lying, but she wasnt a liar.

Sorry but you KNOW only the story you heard. The story went around in several versions all with people who knew someone who worked at the hospital and claimed they were there. Last I heard he reportedly had been in 4 different hospitals in several different states. This same BS story went around about Jerry Penacoli when he was a newscaster in Philly and several other celebs. Of course there were tons of people who swore they knew someone who worked at the hosital he went to too. As entertaining as it may be I've come to the conclusion that all the stories are bullshit!
