If there were a way for someone to get closure by revealing truths [[which in the final analysis may or not be 'truth' at all), perhaps that might be a good thing.
In this case, regardless of any revelatory information, I simply see no closure possible. Flo has been long gone & no matter what is said, no matter what comes out [[if anything), none of that will help Florence in the least.
I fear that when all is said & done, the only ones that revelation will serve, are those who need grist for the mill who enjoy holding on to these types of things & discussing them. Other than that, considering that these 'offenses' occurred more than 40 years ago, I simply don't see where disclosure will serve anyone, that is, other than those who'd simply like to be able to say 'I told you so!'.
I suspect that the statute of limitation has long since passed & I'm honestly unsure of the benefits to be gained by unveiling these events of long ago. Personally, I believe that if anyone was so grieved by anything, they should've spoken a long time ago. Hell, so many people whom were involved or had intimate knowledge may have long since passed.
Also to be considered is that time has a funny way of changing reality. I know of several people who tell crowds how they've had number one records & have sold millions, when the truth is that their records went cardboard & the only place that their records were number one was in their living rooms. But they've told themselves these things for so long that they have come to believe it. Time tends to do that to some folks.
But the truth is that 'reality' of some people's lives isn't necessarily the way that things actually were.
As I said, I'm just not sure how to feel about this anymore.
