Who the hell said anything about Green Bar Bill dying of aids, I thought that 
he died because he was old.  As far as rumors as to him being gay, it seems 
that anyone who is not married by the time they are 30 is accused of being 
gay, especially by the self proclaimed outers, and even more so if they are 
involved with youth, as in scouting.
