Max mentioned (in SSBM, I beleive) the fact that Brigham had retired and he did not expect to find him there.

Uh, Charlie remained a member until his death. He did think Max was off track on a couple things, and it's a good thing. Great guy.

Pali has been on this anti-Max campaign since Koko died. She started out saying Max was lying because he talks about going "upstairs" in the Bishop Museum and she said the 2nd floor wasn't added until years later.
Our response was to send a photo of the museum from the time when Max was there showing the upper floor... now Pali won't talk to us.
I'm not sure there's any way to "prove" Max ever even spoke to Brigham.
I like to pretend Max made the whole thing up because the system still works. Period.
