Did Paul and Jan admit, on air, in the 90s, to alcoholism? I heard, in the mid 90s that they did. I dissed the person that told me this, but a third person that was there lilstening to me said that he either heard it himself, or that he had heard of it as well. I didn’t believe it then, nor do I now. It won’t hurt my feelings either way, but I think that they are too cagey, even if they were contrite, to spill their guts.
Has anybody here heard of this? Any links or info?

Crouch was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, the third son of oft-traveling Assemblies of God missionaries, Andrew F. Crouch (January 7, 1889 – June 1, 1941) and wife, the former Sara Swingle (September 26, 1891 – September 29, 19...
I am amazed that nobody seems to know who they are, but, OTOH, they are in their 70s and are probably just popular to…hmmm, I really can’t guess, now.
