Inspiring Personality   

Many years ago, I had the privilege to meet Mr. William F. Buckley Jr. in person at   Cuzco,  Peru, during one of  Mr. Buckley working journeys across South America. At the time I was editor of the town newspaper, not the best of times for practicing  journalism in Peru. Day by day, we were suffering,

the  harassment  of censors  under a left-leaning military dictatorship. Mr. Buckley was full aware of this. His keen advice, encouragement, and inspiring character, became priceless to me, throughout those troubled hours. I shall remain forever grateful for his close involvement with my personal and professional pledge and shall never forget him.

My sincere condolences to his family and staff members of National Review.
