Dissension on Dr. Gene Scott
I barely had the exchange between me and Harry Van Twistern on the blog when an “old-timer” (i.e., a long-time senior recovering alcoholic) wrote:
“I am somewhat amused by Scotts supporter. When I drank my daily fifth of vodka with my daily case of beer, while working, nobody knew that I was drinking or drunk. The gentleman doesn’t know us functioning alcoholics! I’ve watched Gene Scott while I was an active drinker and in retrospect there is no doubt in my mind, he was an alcoholic. The old adage, “it takes one to know one”. You may quote me on this.”

I know Harold and his own incredible story well. When he speaks about alcoholism and alcoholics, I pay heed.
