The real story is that there appear to be conflicting stories. Carleton Haney says they were cordial up to the time that Flatt and Scruggs "dissed" Bill at the Opry in 1952. Curley Seckler (who also should know) claims it was "over twenty years". On reflection I think you're right Peter. Damn, I know better than to get into these "how long did the grudge last" debates with you.
