An Obituary Of Note

Bill and I used to take "health walks" together from time to time on the tree-lined streets of Litchfield.  As one may see from his obituary, he had a lot of interesting things about which to speak.

In addition, Bill was Eleanor Roosevelt's bodyguard during the first meeting of the United Nations which was held in San Francisco.  He showed me the security pass he had from that time.  It was signed by Alger Hiss!
