He really did a terrific job of developing Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith and after reading about him you feel like you could have known him. Beckwith walks into his attorney's office bragging he's going to be a father. Well maybe his wife is going to be a mother, but..................

Jim,
That was the only time in the life of Bob Beckwith that I felt genuine sadness and compassion for him.

Like his siblings he was simply not very likable, imo.
