He was one of my own heroes back in 1971 as the Jackson correspondent for the Times-Picayune and I was so delighted to have the occasion to join him and "Little" Hodding Carter, editor then of the Delta Democrat Times for a drink at the old Heidelberg Hotel in Jackson. I had just turned 21 and either Hodding or Bill paid for my first mixed drink... I went on to become a journalist in Tennessee, ending up in Japan the last 30 years.<br /><br />What you wrote about Bill is a great tribute and completely fitting. Delighted to see that he and Gloria still have each other. Remember, she too went through all this with him.<br /><br />Hunter Brumfield<br />TokyoHunter Brumfieldnoreply@blogger.com
