“My husband was an erudite gentleman; an avid reader from childhood, his breadth of knowledge was extensive. He was also charming, vivacious and mischievously funny; all of which attributes, in addition to his love of literature, history and science, surfaced in his Weather Eye column over the years. Here, I have tried to select articles that demonstrate these aspects of his character so that the reader may delight in him afresh.” From the Introduction by Anne McWilliams
