One More For The Road For Oral Roberts' Son

In the news these days- Richard Roberts- son of famous TV evangelist Oral Roberts- under fire for living an extravagant lifestyle on poor widows donations to his father's university.

Way back in the day before gasoline lines- the first wife and myself often went to Northeast Oklahoma to visit her family's "summer home" on Spavinaw Creek and nearby Tulsa where her cousin- about our age- lived.

Mrs. Marx #1's cousin was in the "upper-crust" of Tulsa society and knew intimately about the shenanigans of Richard- they went to the same high school in the Southern Hills area of Tulsa.

According to Mrs. Upper-Crust Cousin in 1972- Richard Roberts was a partyer. To hear her tell the story- Richard had to be bailed out of trouble with the law on at least 2 occasions.

In other words- Richard Roberts felt- and acted- as if he were a Child of Privilege. Like Mrs. Upper Crusts's family- Roberts' family never went without- according to the cousin.

I realize this is nothing but so much heresy- but the source was in the perfect position to observe the goings-on by my own observation and who was I to call my first wife's cousin a liar?
