We were at O'Hare airport in Chicago frantically looking for the gate to catch a flight home at about 3 am. We saw Bill and Nancy waiting for the same flight. "Ah," I said, "This must be the place" Bill laughed and welcomed us. My wife and I were returning from Europe in late September 1973.

Now there's talent. To be honest, Bill Carlson wasn’t really my type of journalist. He came from a different generation with a different style that I found all too folksy, too soft, too cozy.
