Need to find out if he is still living. If so, where? I have a family connection through his uncle William Buckley. I am researching my family. I haven't found much personnel inf. except for this:

Buckley married Patricia Taylor of Vancouver, B.C., in 1950, and is the father of Christopher Taylor Buckley.
Born in New York City in 1925, Buckley spent his early school years in England and France. He graduated with honors from Yale in 1950. He and his wife, Patricia, have been married for more than 50 years and have a son, Christopher.

Sizz, he is still alive as this link shows. I hope this helps.

Thank you so much! It was late and I was trying to quietly peck away at the keyboard, without disturbing DH's sleep. The last link I found regarding him was that he was alive in 2004.

I just wrote the editor of the National Review Magazine and hopefully (fingers crossed) he/she will forward my letter on to Mr. Buckley.

Thanks Again!

He's alive and on tv sometimes too.

He has had a very interesting life. He was in the CIA, I believe.

See if you can find the 50th Anniversary Issue of Gourmet -- he has an article in it.

I know for a fact that William F. Buckley, Jr. is still living and around. He still writes and I have seen him on TV. He leads a very interesting life.

He is alive and well and has a very interesting life. I saw him on TV and he is still writing.
