“A Man for All Seasons”
Straight Out of Manfield
Once Mansfield’s physicians decided he could have visitors beyond me I called family and friends and the visits began. While he lay there knowing that his last breathe was near he was asked about his view on the mayoral race. He never responded directly to this inquiry. But one day he asked me to find a four part article he wrote. He seldom writes four part articles and in spite of my worry about not being able to find it I did so by the end of the day. He never said anymore about it even after I told him I had it and printed it out for him.
I think this series of articles was his answer to the election questions and elections were not on his mind. Read Part 1 here after …Father’s Day Tribute, 78 Years…
