| William F. Buckley, Jr., with Jeff Greenfield on Firing Line set in 1973 |
William F. Buckley, Jr., was born in 1925 on this date. He not only changed the course of conservatism in America, but he set a standard of intellectual integrity and personal warmth that changed the lives of many young conservatives. I was among them in the late 1960's. The first time I saw him debate, I asked him to sign my paperback copy of Rumbles Left and Right. The was the first of many kindnesses he showed me.
Proverbs 19:22 says "What is desirable in a man is his kindness". Bill Buckley was a kind, generous and loyal man--to many individuals and to his nation. He remains a blessing from the Lord.

Wow! What an experience! You, sir, were truly blessed.
Indeed, I was and am blessed. :-)
Thanks, Max. I hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving. You and your blog are another reason for giving thanks!
Glad that you find the blog worthy of your time. Thanksgiving was a work-day for me, but very nice nonetheless.
Hope yours was as nice.
We had a nice time. Lots of family (14). Jigsaw puzzle, football, food, kids, laughter and thankfulness to God for His many blessings.
