hmmmm. Maybe not so simple. That would mean his son was part of a plot to make his father look bad?

[JasonC]

How about a plot to cash in on having a famous father who actually did anything, with a bunch of notorious frauds and freaks, between their UFO sightings and ghost stories?

Because lord knows, whenever serious historians or scientists or politicians have something important to discuss, they line up around the block to get on coast to coast AM radio...

(Son bickering with siblings)Saint's attitude was, "This has nothing to do with you. This stuff is of historical significance and needs to come out, and if you're worried that it'll make him out to be a liar, everybody knows he's a liar already. Is this going to ruin the Hunt name? The Hunt name is already filled with ruination."

So when Saint arrived in Miami to talk to his dad, the two men spent a lot of time waiting for (wife)Laura to leave the house. Saint painted the living room and built a wheelchair ramp. In the mornings, he cooked breakfast. In the afternoons, he plopped a fishing hat on E. Howard's head and wheeled him around the neighborhood. They drank coffee together.

And watched lots of Fox News.

And when Laura finally left, they talked.

(later on the two were never left alone)
