I am allowing the family time to mourn and will not be approaching them about the status/completion of his speech. I doubt that it was in final form.

I had other people on my prospective speakers list when we began inviting them this past April. At the top was Susan Higganbotham of this forum. She has graciously accepted my invitation to speak on the boardinghouse residents with special emphasis on everyone's "favorite," Mr. Weichmann. Susan is also very well-known in the field of historical novels, and I hope she will have time to discuss how a creative writer can turn historical facts and details into compelling novels. She had already accepted my offer to participate in our Authors' Hour on Saturday. Now, we're getting much more.
