Several were the roast chicken dinners I enjoyed with kindred spirits he assembled around the table of his Riverside Drive apartment between 1977 and 1983 before I moved away. One haberdasher is said to credit him with the reintroduction of khaki trousers into the wardrobes of many college men. I seldom drink a late summer gin and tonic without a pleasant flashback to his screened porch. Rest in peace, Old Sport. You made the world better for many of us.

I enjoyed roast chicken and conversation around his Riverside Drive apartment table regularly between 1977 and 1983 before moving away. A late summer gin and tonic usually reminds me of nights on his screened porch with kindred spirits he assembled. Rest in peace, Old Sport. I hope to see you at a Chukker Nation reunion.
