Whatever happened to Hilly? He subed for Art here and there in the late 90s and early 2000s. He wasn't bad why didn't they use him more?

Wasn't he already in his 80s back then?

According to wiki, Hilly is still alive and living with his wife in the 'Frisco area. wiki also says that some of his para normal shows are archived at Fate magazine on line.

I wonder why he wasn't asked to do C2C after Art left. It would make the most sense since he was already filling in.

The network (PremRat) probably wanted somebody younger, since Hilly was kinda retired already?

Instead, they chose somebody who was already dead on air

It may have had something to do with his trying to deny the Serbs were commitng genocide in Kosovo before the US started bombing Yugoslavia in 1999 (or was it 2000?)
