There is evidence, though not conclusive, that he was a cross-dresser.
There is at least one eye witness, a woman, whom I saw interviewed.
I
challenge u on that.
I am very
skeptical that this happened.
OK: TELL us, Ad,
WHO was that woman
when was this interview n what did she say??
IF it was an old film of
the author of the book
saying that, then that 's different. I saw
her on TV promoting the sale
of her book, when it came out, but no one else,
so far as I have heard. She had financial motivation.
I 'm sure that it 'd have gotten a lot of publicity,
if there were
a new alleged witness.
The genesis of this cross-dressing myth
was in a book which alleged that the author 's deceased husband
had alleged that he had been told by someone (also deceased) that Hoover cross-dressed
at a cocktail party, many years ago.
(It strains credulity that it 'd have successfully been kept secret so long.)
If I remember correctly, the author is now also deceased.
There was no other evidence than this 3rd hand hearsay from the dead,
as of the time of the allegation in the book.
Do u claim now that one of the other attenders of the
alleged party
has now personally asserted this allegation ?
If u want,
tomorrow, u can call a press conference and claim that u were at the alleged party
and slander Hoover yourself.
