The Day The Music Died

I met William F. Buckley once, at a party at his fabulous Park Avenue house (a fundraiser for National Review Online). My only comments to him were to thank him for his instructional videotape  on celestial navigation - his eyes lit up looking to engage me in sailor's tales, but I dashed his hopes saying that I never managed to get out of Long Island Sound. (Unlike Bill, I can't take off work for extended vacations!).

I owe him and his magazine a debt, helping me to understand that it is possible to hold so-called conservative / free-market positions even in modern-day U.S.A. And I learned to respect his overtly Catholic conservatism.

Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this, in flesh and blood, ever walked this earth.

Powerline has a good rememberence.....
