I knew John's uncle, Harry Davenport, from the McCarthy campaign. (Eugene, not Joseph.) I met John when he spoke about his book -- Harry, Tom, and Father Rice ... -- at a bookstore in 2005. We had a grand time comparing reminiscences. He was a gracious man and I am sorry to learn of his passing. I hope to attend the memorial service.
