I don't know if he was a vegetarian at that point, but I happen to know
that he was later a pescetarian (as of 2008) as I have seen him order
fish, and the folks at the grill confirmed that wasn't unusual.

Because widows and family are often ignored in the whole grief thing, I
thought I'd head over there (the location was published in the press
this morning) to drop off a condolences note for the family.

I was surprised, then surprised I was surprised, that there were so many
apple trees, each one different.

Three photos I took (on an iPhone, natch) here:
