It was very nicely done. We probably don’t–I certainly don’t–tell Bill often enough how honored we are to work in the house he built. Today we could just by showing up and applauding. If there was a theme to the anecdotes, it was enjoyment. As has often been remarked, Bill’s personality played a crucial role in the development of conservatism. Mainly what people have in mind is the urbanity, the civility, the wit, and the intelligence, and they are right to have those things in mind. But he has also been a reminder that conservatism begins in an appreciation of the world as it is (without yielding, at its best, to the temptation to complacency). Which helped to make conservatism, and working at NR, fun.
