well written biography by son of a father ... include description of 'NO SIREE" and a version of 'the treasurer's report' .. which makes it worth the price of admission. this is not a tell all .. but it does discuss, as the dusk jacket blurb describes, the subject's eccentricities. everyone should hope for such gentle and expert treatment by a family member ...
