Way back on October 27 I blogged in a blogging titled "Who Thinks The Texas State Attorney General Should Look Into TRWD/TRVA Business Practices, Woodsheds & J.D. Granger?"

This blogging was prompted due to info emailed to me from my favorite tipster named Beale.

One piece of that Beale info was in regards to my favorite Fort Worth Star-Telegram writer, Bud Kennedy. Beale claimed that while Bud Kennedy may not have participated in J.D. Granger's Trinity River Vision Rockin' the River Happy Hour Inner Tube Floats, Bud Kennedy had spent time in the Trinity River.

Regarding Bud Kennedy being in the Trinity River I wrote...

I was unable to confirm this via Google searching, but Beale says that the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Bud Kennedy has actually been in the Trinity River. Not on one of J.D. Granger's Rockin' the River Inner Tube Happy Hour Floats, but by other means.

Beale says a few years ago Bud Kennedy was driving on an icy road, lost control and ended up in the Trinity River. His girlfriend, at the time, a woman who must have had superhuman strength, somehow managed to pull super hefty Bud Kennedy from his car and get him safely to dry land.

Well.

As you can read in the Twitter message above, this morning Bud Kennedy direct messaged me on Twitter.

The direct message said....

That story on the blog is true--I skidded a Dart off the river on Dec. 21, 1971. Allison Kerr saved me, Heights teachers told kids for years.

So, there you go you Doubting Thomases who questioned the veracity of Beale's tipstering.
