I’m still baffled why he doesn’t try and be human instead of talking around this. His response from the article was this:
Pressed on the timing of the rescue, Kirk told the Tribune the magazine reporter must have made a mistake. Informed the interview was recorded, Kirk then said he did not watch the sunset but denied embellishing his story.
At some point you just have to admit you screwed up — people are far more forgiving of that then trying to talk your way out of it.
Naval Academy graduate and Navy vet Carl Nyberg found the 1976 Lake Michigan temperature record at the Harold Washington Library last week.
It pretty clearly shows that the water near shore was 55F in June of 1976 rather than the 42 that Kirk has been claiming.
Recall that the Trib was looking into Kirk’s interview with a boating magazine which happened this summer, AFTER his decade-worth of military lies came to light.
