Ever since he didn't grant that dying boy his
fishing wish,


More info please.

My wife is a pediatrician, and has had some experience with celebrities

not
showing up in these circumstances. Even sometime when they have said
they
would.


I can't find anything on Google about it, but in the early 80s, as legend
has it, a dying kid made a request thru the Make-A-Wish foundation, to go
fishing with his idol, Roland Martin. Roland said he didn't have time to
mess with the kid. Anyway, Bill Dance and some other anglers took the kid
fishing, when Roland heard what an ass he was portrayed by the public, he
told the kid he'd take him fishing, and the kid told him, 'No thanks'.


Interesting. I won't be repeating that though unless I were to see a
confirmation somewhere.
