I went to a memorial service...

...in Milwaukee yesterday, and one of the speakers was an older, distinguished gentleman with the excellent name of Hilary Woodhouse. (That's actually John Houseman, above, but you get the idea.)

Oh, and by the way, a guy named E. B. Leisenring Jr. died at age 85. His obit says that, when he was at Yale in the 1940s:

...he and 19 other Philadelphia bachelors organized the Flask and Bottle Society, a social organization. 

Again, excellent!
