Willard Price was not a spy
Willard Price was not a spy. His widow, Mary Price, was very upset by this allegation. She was with him throughout all of his travels in the 1930's, and he could not have been spying without her knowledge. She repeatedly denied any spying whatsoever to family members. Willard's son, Robert Price, also discussed the issue of spying with his father and was told clearly that he was never a spy. I cannot imagine that speculation based on a tongue in cheek reference in the book "My Own Life of Adventure", which was clearly aimed for a youth audience, would be considered to be more reliable than direct conversation with the subject himself. I am married to Mr. Price's grand-daughter, and we have had conversations with both Robert Price and with Mary Price on this topic. Why is Professor Barber's "suggestion" given more credence than the facts that I present? Skinner1960 (talk) 14:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
