I think we are all going to miss Mr. Buckley. We have all watched him on TV. He has used words which were not developed in Searchlight, NV, but he had a great knowledge of the English language. He was always such a gentleman, even though many of the things he said were not in keeping with some of the things I believe in. We will all miss him. I think of the many tributes written for him--for example, in today's newspaper there was a wonderful piece written by George Will about William Buckley. So I am happy that we have this resolution honoring his life.
