To the Editor:
My neighbor and friend, Gen. William H. Montcrief, Jr, passed this week at 90 years old. He will be remembered for his wit, his amazing historical recall and being an indomitable flirt. I will miss him very much. He was so neat. We are consoled by his burial in Arlington National Cemetery on May 15. General Montgriev served as Head of Walter Reed Army Hospital, had a thriving medical practice in thoracic surgery in San Francisco and survived many years in medical operations in Viet Nam. He served his country well. He was a passionate and compassionate military man. And he made wonderful Scottish drinks on the day of the Scottish Walk. The world is less without him.
