After reading this thread and the stories, I'm as confused as a 10 year old boy wearing his mothers underwear.

After reading everything, I feel that there is a lot that is strange. The family has never really been mentioned in the Past. Luicelle, seems to have been doing everything for him since he has passed. So I have a few questions
1) The family had to know everything she was doing, if they didn't then they really didn't care. Now all of a sudden since he is going into the HOF, they want to make it an issue. Personally, if someone would have been parading around as my brothers sister, then I would have done something about it along time ago, not now.
2) They say she forged his will. If this was true, why was it not addressed at the time the will was executed? Once again something seems fishy here.
I am starting to get he feeling that he was not very close to the rest of his family. I think this woman, just may very well be a half sister. This sounds like a family dispute over money. Now that he is getting into the HOF, they see an oppertunity to cash in. They were more than happy to let her do all the work up to this point.

Controversy brews following Bob Hayes' election to Pro Football Hall of Fame
By CLARENCE E. HILL, JR.
IRVING -- Former Cowboys great "Bullet" Bob Hayes' election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, after being denied for so long, was supposed to bring some peace to his family and his legacy.
But a controversy has brewed instead.
Ted McIntosh, Hayes' former business manager, and members of Hayes' family are calling Lucille Hester, who represented Hayes at the Hall of Fame announcement, an impostor.
They say she is not a blood sister and they are questioning the authenticity of a Hall of Fame speech that she said Hayes wrote before he died. Hester received national acclaim for an emotional and eloquent reading of Hayes' prepared speech.
"I can't say she is or she isn't," said Janice Hayes-Mohl one of Hayes' ex-wives and mother of his son, Bob Jr.
"When we were married he introduced her as his play sister. We just thought she was a childhood friend. Maybe she was. Maybe she wasn't. I know the family in Florida is saying she forged the will and forged the signature on the speech. It's a big mess."
McIntosh has spearheaded the drive to discredit Hester on behalf on the family through letters and emails to the NFL, the Cowboys, the NFL Players Association and various media outlets.
"She showed up the week of the funeral and that was the first time I had heard of her, and Bob and I had spent hours talking over the years. I was his business manager and set up all his card shows and interviews. I am not getting into any argument about it. I have done my job. I have gotten the word out."
The Cowboys declined to comment.
Hester did not return phone calls on Monday.
But she did appear on the Michael Irvin Radio Show on ESPN 103.3 on Monday and denied that she was an impostor. She said she and Hayes had the same dad but different mothers.
She was listed as a sister on the obituary in the Florida
Times Union in Hayes' hometown of Jacksonville at the time of his death.
Former Cowboys running back Robert Newhouse, who was a good friend of Hayes, said he was his sister as far as he knew because "Bob introduced her to me as his sister." Newhouse said he assumed he meant real sister and said he didn't have anything else to add to the brewing controversy.
Hester has also been at the forefront of the battle to get Hayes into the Hall of Fame. She raised money to help get a tombstone on his grave a few years ago. She was the lone family member present when Hayes was denied into the Hall of Fame in 2004 and she was by herself this year in Tampa
.
According to the Hayes-Mohl, it was all calculated. No other family members, including Bob Jr. and his four daughters, were present in Tampa because Hester did not communicate with anyone. Siblings that aren't disputed are his brother Ernest Hayes and sisters Lena Mae Johnson and Georgette Sanders.
"She had sent a letter to NFL to say she would be representing the family," Hayes-Mohl said.
"She knew and we didn't. She was the contact for the NFL. She never passed on any information. The family in Florida was planning on renting a Winnebago and driving over and she told to wait until she called. We were kept in the dark. The kids should have been involved."
The NFL and Pro Football Hall of Fame has since invited Hayes-Mohl and Bob Jr. to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii this weekend. They leave on Thursday.
But that will not put an end to the controversy.
Legal action is a possibility.
"We would like to see what develops," Hayes-Mohl said. "I would like to see her prove she is his sister and that the speech is from him. It's a mess. I hate this had to come out at this time."

Hayes family doubts 'Fame' letter
PA SportsTicker
Published: Tuesday, February 03, 2009
When the late Bob Hayes was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, his older sister, Lucille Hayes, stole the show by reading an emotional letter by the former Dallas Cowboys star receiver.
Two days later, there is a question of whether Lucille Hayes seized more than just a historic moment.
Family members and friends of Bob Hayes expressed skepticism over whether the letter actually was written by him and even wondered if Lucille Hayes actually is related to one of the newest members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2009.
Ted McIntosh, a longtime friend who said he was Hayes' business manager, told PA SportsTicker on Monday he had never heard of Lucille Hayes until the week of Bob Hayes' funeral in 2002.
"The entire family thinks the letter is a fraud," McIntosh said via phone from his home in Dallas. "We're betting that they (Lucille and Bob) have the same signature."
McIntosh said he spent a lot of time with Hayes - "days and days" - and knew all his family members, but never was aware that he had an older sister named Lucille. Westine Lodge, the daughter of Bob Hayes, also told PA SportsTicker that she did not know if Lucille and Bob are related.
"I know her, I don't know if she's Bob's sister or she's not Bob's sister," said Lodge, who lives in Jacksonville, Florida.
Watching Lucille Hayes read the letter from Bob Hayes at the election ceremonies Saturday left McIntosh feeling "very shocked." Lodge said she and family members watching the moment felt much deeper emotions.
"It's hurtful," Lodge said. "We saw her read the letter and it was making us feel like she's the only family member. We're right here in Jacksonville, We could've been in Tampa (site of the announcement). No one called us.
"I'm sure he did not ever tell her to exclude the members of his family," Lodge added. "From the time I spent with him, I know he was a family man. At such a historic event, to not be told. Yes, that's hurtful."

Here's the interview she did with Irvin. She seemed to make it seem like she's been talking to the Hayes family which goes completely against what they are all saying...
Lucille Hester on Irvin Show
All I know is that if that letter turns out to be a fraud she's going to be a big time villain.
