It may be little known, but the Guilfoyles's great friend in Brownsville, Texas, Tom Inabinette, told me Clyde Beatty learned that Chubby and Harriet had fallen on desperate times. Beatty sent Tom a check every month to help the Guilfoyles with bills and groceries, with the strict proviso that they never know the source. Tom let on that he had "made arrangements" for them. When Beatty died in 1965, this kindness naturally ended, and the Guilfoyles lived out their lives in abject poverty. Chubby died in 1968, and Harriet, as best as we can discover, in 1975. Bill Johnston asked me to research their death certificates, and as he put it, you'd have thought we were seeking government secrets. We never got the information we sought from the State of Texas.
