Three marriages, 2 deaths, 17 kids between them. I took 40 hours of research and looked at endless web sites to come up with this data. I feel quite confident with it. Again, if you take issue with any small or large part of it, PLEASE contact me. I want to see this right. I visit 5 to 10 web sites a day. I generally send this data to 4 sites a week. So far no one has refuted any part of it. When I go back in a couple of weeks to check, most of them have made no changes to their sites. Contact me at [email protected] if you need to.
