Yes, I remember reading the thin red & white 'Faithy Letters' where she talked about how frugal Berg was with Fred Jordan's money. She said she remembered as a child going on his TV booking trips with him & how he would walk around a city for hours looking for the cheapest motel he could find. But now we know that when Faithy & her dad got into those hotel rooms he was sexually molesting her.

Another thought why Berg was so stingy with his money & lived in such cheap hotel rooms on the road was that he needed money for whores too. He bragged how he always slept with prostitutes while on the road but where did he get the money from on such a cheap budget? Did he use the food money for his kids? Probably he did & was wracked with guilt,so he would scrimp & save on food & hotel rooms to help get the money he needed.
