Late last fall I attempted to contact author and restaurant critic Tedd Thomey as I am searching for a copy of the trial transcripts from Errol's statutory rape trial. Yesterday I learned that Tedd Thomey had recently passed away. Sadly, he died at the age of 88 on December 1, 2008. Thomey was a proficient writer and two of his books are of particular interest here. In other words, they are about Errol Flynn. The first book, The Loves of Errol Flynn was released in 1962 and contains a heavy focus on the 1943 trial. The second book, The Big Love is by Florence Aadland as told to Tedd Thomey. This book is about Errol's relationship with Florence Aadland's daughter, Beverly. I've attached a nice link which pays tribute to Tedd Thomey for those who would like to know a little bit more about him.

Patti, have you read The Big Love? It seems to be contra to Nora's book regarding drug use. And, I would like to verify if there was a marker of any kind at his grave before 1979? Anyone? Thank you!
