Watson invited contributions to her planned biography from people
who had known her father personally or professionally. In the
introduction, she wrote:-- « Several friends of my Father
have sent tributes of affection to his memory. Unfortunately
most of his contemporaries have passed away ... It will be noticed
that some of the contributions are from people who were still
quite young when he was an old man, but as he himself said, "Age
is a thing of thought and feeling." There was something
in his nature which made its appeal to old and young alike, and
he found keen delight in the friendships of life. » |
