William F. Buckley Jr....We Hardly Knew Ye

They're not making them like William F. Buckley anymore! Yesterday, his closest friends and family paid a gracious good-bye to him at his memorial.

Additionally, you'll want to read this thoughtful and loving piece by his son, Christopher Buckley, which was posted at National Review Online. There are many good posts there in memory of WFB, but the one to which I refer is titled, My Old Man and the Sea. This is a great piece! What a wonderful legacy to bestow upon one's son and one's family.
