On the passing of Dr. Walter Williams, I'm looking at a video "An Evening with Walter Williams" https://youtu.be/RRUHk2Z6jfA

The student body of such a small, conservative academy as to comprise a One-Room School, recite The Gettysburg Address.

It came to be the standard in schools by 1940, because of the inspiration of Charles Loughton in Ruggles of Red Gap https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1q3c4o

Really beautiful to see! Not too much fidgeting, either. Well done.

We have lost a great man this morning. Sadly there is no one who can step up and fill his place.

Just got home from work and saw that Dr. Walter Williams died! How very sad for us, but a gain for Heaven! He will be missed!
