The Coward In The Closet Ran A Vendetta-Part One

Someone is successful in his career & has a lot going for him, but that someone does NOT want a certain side of that person, exposed:

It can mean loss of career, prestige & reputation. What happened here was that a successful Information Technology person, who was a major leader of a Catholic Fraternal Society, had a dark secret. In fact he was The Head of that Society in Queens, from 1990 until 1992. It was in the period where he was the #2Man in that Society, when things were beginning to unravel;

I was in the tap-club room portion, when whispers of unease & tears took place. A male of almost 34 Years Old, was seen with the #2 Man, mentioning that he couldn't stay around there for fear of people finding out about their arrangement, where they lived together, as partners(The Current Terminology);

In short, it was a Gay Relationship, abeit closeted. And someone was going to pay for this breakup, in ways that were unfathomable at that time;

The guy initiating the break off, was 1 year behind me in a Catholic HS on East 44th Street, Lexington to 3rd Avenues on the Cross, in Manhattan. I graduated from there in 1973, while the Guy in the Breakoff, graduated in 1974 from said school;

That Guy mentioned to his partner that he couldn't stay for fear that I might find out about this & say something. At 1st, I wasn't sure what this mess was all about, but it came to me over time. The #2 Guy then became leader of that Catholic Order, succeeding his father in that role, from 1990-1992;
