These people are always around, like Ted Williams brother. He managed to be dishonorably discharged in 1943, at the height of WW@. How? He would just go AWOL at every opportunity, 14 charges in a 12 month period. When he was on duty he would refuse to obey orders by just doing what he pleased. Constantly found hiding in a closet or in the woods sleeping. He never cared. Had no trouble finding one job after another during the war and afterwards worked a scam moving back and forth from the SW to Massachusetts. He would pile up debt in Arizona and just disappear for New England and then do the reverse in a few months. Complete worthless human being. Ted Williams ended up paying all his hospital bills when he came down with adult leukemia and his funeral and burial expenses. Some family members griped because Ted Williams wasn’t ‘warm’ towards his con artist brother.
I was active in Boston area sports for a while. From what I heard anecdotally, Ted wasn’t real warm towards anyone. Neither were Carl or Larry.
I guess it’s kind of a thing in Boston. (I’ve witnessed first hand the coldness of Carl and Larry.)
