Spellczech Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 RIP Always had the suspicion that the withdrawal of support to Gretna was the family protecting their inheritance, rather than Mileson's own act. It did occur after his stroke or whatever it was that forced his disappearance from public life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
