Lounge Daddy Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 [quote name='Christie_M' post='1110521' date='Nov 4 2006, 01:32 AM'] [color="blue"] I remember Art Bell. Didn't he retire? Goerge Norey is hosting now I think. One of my favorite shows! [/color] [/quote] I have enjoyed Coast to Coast for 5 years, that radio show is “the 3rd shifter’s friend” for me. Yes - Art went into "semi-retirement" and hosted a lot of weekends... and then he left for a few months or so when his wife unexpectedly died. He was in great shock and great mourning. He actually seriously contemplated suicide shortly after his wife’s passing; but did not go through with it because he knew that his wife, a devout Catholic, always very strong feelings about such actions – and did not want to exit this world in such a manner (thank God.) He recently remarried to a younger woman, who is also a very devout Catholic, and moved with her to her homeland of Manila - a huge change from the high desert where he lived and broadcasted from for many years. He is back on the air weekends and also covers for George Noory's weeknights off... and does special broadcasts - such as the annual "Ghost to Ghost." He has also announced that he is also… -drum roll please- …converting to Catholicism! I do believe that he is still going through the classes, etc. This is due in part to the influence and example of his first wife, and his wonderful current wife and her family, and also due to what he has learned via action and example of the late Fr. Malachi Martin – with whom he developed a very close friendship with in the last several years of Fr. Martin’s life. God is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
