Is this the right place to divulge information about a third party? I realize there is an article about him posted here and that it already contains lots of details that would normally be considered private, however I feel that somehow if you have questions about this it might be better to take it off-line. Especially parts about his father and mother's relationship in the present, it has absolutely no business being in a public forum like this. We're not exactly discussing people that have been dead for 50 years.
'jameswburke claims to be his friend. I think we can leave the question of what to reveal to his discretion. What he's said so far doesn't seem to me to be particularly sensitive, nor any more private than what was in the article.
