Mr. Wormley was a very distinguished looking gentleman, and you can see that the comment someone made about him respecting himself as well as others was very likely true. He has that sort of bearing about him.
If you are the least bit interested in Washington, D.C. history, I would also recommend joining the Streets of Washington site. You will receive frequent emails with articles of historical interest. Mr. DeFerrari, who runs the site, will be the speaker at the upcoming Fall Dinner of the Surratt Society on September 21. He is speaking on the growth of the city between the end of the Civil War and WWI. He has a personal collection of D.C. postcards and memorabilia that is outstanding also.
Laurie, didn't you also know James Wormley?
