Someone left a comment that said,

” Want even more supposition re Art Bell’s most recent retirement? Check out: http://hamfanz.blogspot.com/“

I’m not going to endorse the content at that link, or the links that you may follow from there because I have no way of knowing what is true. I will say that the history given in that link differs significantly from what is given in, “The Art of Talk”, Art Bell’s autobiography.
