The Story Behind the Story

It's always the case that there's a lot more to a story than what's reported in the news. In the case of Ted "The man with the golden voice" Williams that's true as well and her name is Patricia Kirtley

From The NY Daily News...

Patricia Kirtley raised four daughters alone after Williams split 23 years ago and dove down the rabbit hole of drugs.

Not only that, Kirtley took in the baby boy the radioman had with another woman and raised him as her own.

Oh, and by the way, she's partially blind.

As if that weren't enough, Kirtley said two of her sisters and a cousin each took in a child Williams and his druggie girlfriend couldn't, or wouldn't, care for.

"I didn't want to see those children in [a] foster home," she said.
