My father's friend, Ted Windt, who was professor emeritus of political rhetoric and a former chair of Pitt's Department of Communication = I wonder what he would think of today's presidential times & rhetoric needed, useful & what we really would remember about them via history???
So many Saturday afternoons were spent with me as a teenager listening to professor Windt and my father talk while th...ey grilled steaks (@ our indoor grilling station) worked, had cocktails and wine. .. And Ted was there for some functions too. .. (He encouraged my poetry confirming for my father that I was a poet . .. They opened doors for me that I refused to walk through though because I wanted to do it on my own like an A*$).
