Oh please, you have no idea if that was the case; and, if you want to be truly P.C., calling him "old man" is 'age-ist'.

Ben Zander's brother, the lawyer, and brother-in-law, the scholar, strike back:

Hasn't the same rumours been around about Lennie Bernstein?

Sorry guys...
 
I do very little moderating here, but l'm going to delete the posts pertaining to these  unsubstantiated rumors.  Let's please move on. 

Plus they have nothing to do with the thread topic. 

(and sorry Barry, I would have liked to have retained your Red Sox comments  ;D , but it was easier to simply delete the entire post)

Nothing to apologize for, as I was way off-topic myself - suffice to say that I get annoyed and frustrated with our overly P.C. world.
