Hi there.
Hello
Rush seems a little randy today.
Patricia Aldyn Austin Taylor Buckley — Pat Buckley, as so many knew her, WFB’s beloved — died last night at Stamford Hospital in Connecticut.
She died of septic poisoning following a vascular operation on her left leg.
Pat had been married to WFB since July 1950 and is mother of the acclaimed writer Christopher Buckley.
She’s been a core part of the NR family — hosting editorial dinners in her home, among many other intrusions — since its conception and her loss will be felt by many.
Bill and Christopher are in so many of our prayers today. R.I.P, Mrs. Buckley.
UPDATE: Best wishes and memories of Mrs. Buckley, too — send them to condolences@nationalreview.com. Please include your name, city, and state.We'll start publishing them Monday in a memorial section.
