One last post on Arthur Blessitt

As referenceed in my main article about him, Arthur Blessit has died at the age of 84-only barely outliving the US Presidential candidate he ran against for the Democratic nomination in 1976. Now that he's dead, I wanted to share one last anecdote about him that I heard from a staff member at a hospital in of one of the tropical countries he passed thorough in the 1970's. He got really bad blisters and stopped in at a missionary Hospital, where he was amazed to be treated without charge. Later some hospital employees spread the story he was really a spy, and carried a camera inside the cross. As if being able to photgraph as one walked down a road could be a national security issue.
