When I was a baby grad student doing a public history project on the Richmond Canal Walk 25 years ago, he was very kind and responsive to my questions. A thoughtful and wise leader and historian.

My favorite sweater of all time was lands end canvas. A boxy gray wool roll neck with thin orange stripes. I gained weight & it no longer fit. I look for it occasionally on poshmark and eBay.
