I never thought I would be defending Art Bell, but leave his marriage alone.

Either you trust him or you don't.

Don't let the race or age of his wife turn you against him.

Yeah, I do agree. Although I do have reservations and questions as you can see from my previous posts, I'm willing to see where this ends up, it is his life after all. Of course, this was like in the early 20th Century so things were a bit different then, I had a great-great uncle who came over from the Jewish part of Russia. He was a concert level violinist and madea somewhat famous name for himself and was charged with bigamy by his wife but he was acquitted (or the charges were dropped) and they ended up divorced. When he was 45 or so, he settled into a Jewish section of New York City and much like in "Fiddler on the Roof," the local lady matchmaker (A big Jewish custom) matched him up with a 16, 17 or 18 (she was around that age) girl to marry and they lived happily ever after. I guess with this in my family history, I'm willing to keep an open enough mind to see what happens but there are other times I'm scratching my head. I'm more perplexed at him moving to the Phillipines though, maybe Stan Deyo told him it will be a safe place when 2012 hits or something. B-)

I got an interesting question. I remember Art's son was molested by an AIDS positive teacher several years ago, I think it was 1999 or 2000, he was 16 then so he must be in his early 20's now. I wonder what happened to him and how he is doing and maybe his thoughts on this, well perhaps we will nevr know the last part. Was Art married prior to Ramona? I think he was and his son is from that marriage if he was. Anybody know?
