William Bryant Bachman

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Sarah Goodwin McGregor (Bachman) on January 23, 2011:

I lived with Bryant from 1990 to 1999. He was a friend, a mentor, and a very good husband. I loved him dearly. His acute sense of the strange and the eccentric kept our relationship alive. I was fairly strange and eccentric.

He loved me anyway.

It was heartbreaking to hear of his death, and I deeply regret that I did not tell him how much he influenced my path and how much he meant to me.

It's rare that an ex-wife would say such extraordinary things, but I don't have any bitterness or anger toward him. I have missed him, and I will continue to strive to keep his hopes for me alive.
