We need to check on his columns and post them regularly to let this generation of conservatives know what good writing is all about.

As a writer myself, I always enjoyed his columns on the English language and exposition.

AMEN !!
If I recall correctly; he would use samples taken from newspapers and show the various errors. These were articles 20 - 25 years ago assumably involving educated writers and seasoned editorial staff. Personally, I can not imagine any great improvements within the English teaching department since that time. If anything his evidence supply must now seem infinite. (including my contribution here)

I do agree with you completely. We do need to find and share his work here. I am certain it would be well received.
