I will miss his expert knowledge but not nearly as much as I will miss his unflagging good nature. After every phone call, I extended a sincere invitation to visit me at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. where I promised to show him some special things - in the spirit of friendship and as a way of returning the many favors he did for me. He said that he would take me up on it when he had time, and was ever in Washington. I now extend the invitation to you. Thanks for your note and sharing your dad with all of us. Mark Conner

Mark! My dad told me about you! He really thought you were a spectacular guy and told me about his invitation to D.C. He wanted to visit you but he never wanted to leave his work. I was always trying to get him over here to Washington but it was hard for him to even take a couple days away from that phone and computer of his. He took his work so seriously. That work ethic was something he taught me and also JOY: Jesus first, others second, yourself last. That was my dad, and he loved it!
