From Professor Walter Williams: "It is with great sadness that I inform you that Connie, my friend of 50 years and my wife of nearly 48 years, died peacefully yesterday, December 29th. The day after Christmas she had a very minor fall. After the fall she said that she felt okay and we proceeded to eat dinner which went normally. After dinner she felt a bit strange and made an effort to get up from the chair. That was when the effect of the fall started taking place. Within a few minutes, she became totally verbally unresponsive. I called 911. The paramedics arrived quickly and she was helicoptered to University of Pennsylvania trauma center. It turned out that the fall was enough to cause a severe subdural hematoma. She underwent emergency surgery. The neurosurgeon’s prognosis both before and after the surgery was not promising at all. Devyn, who had just left to return to Los Angeles, where she now lives, returned the next day. Connie made me promise there would be no funeral or memorial services for her and I intend to abide by those wishes. She always said that our 35 years in our home in Devon, Pennsylvania, have been the happiest of her life. Therefore, her wish was to be cremated and her remains scattered about our property so that she will always be here. I have lost a dear wife and friend and the person whose partnership with me accounts for much of our success. Devyn has lost a loving mother. And you’ve lost a delightful friend."

He has writtten many excellent articles about free market economics and is very friendly to Paul. Let's help this good man out. It may not be much, but just send an e-mail to Professor Williams. Help him out in his time of grieving.

Please keep the politics out of any letters you send...not the time for it.

Walter Williams' articles were some of my first glimpses into free market economics. This is very sad news indeed.

I'm agnostic but I steadfastly pray in cases like these. Just in case.

RIP Mrs. Williams

I will be sending my condolences to Dr. Williams and his family but I will also say in a light hearted manner that honors the relationship they had: Now who is going to change the transmisssion on his car?

Again, please refrain from politics, just offer him some kind words. Nobody wants to hear about something as silly as politics in a time like this

Wow, sad to hear that. I only heard of him a few weeks ago, but I've got his writings bookmarked, b/c he's one of the best 20th century thinkers I've read.
