when my mother's first cousin died a decade or so ago, they found out that he had wives and families in more than one State simultaneously.
He was a very salt-of-the-earth midwestern christian type. It blew everyone away in her family.
It happens. It gets tiresome when people argue the validity of the rest of the man's life based on his indescretions alone.
This cousin of my mom's was very good to his wives and children; providing for all that he took on financially and otherwise. So was he an evil man? Or was he just a man prone to all the good and bad inherant in all of us?
