I have fond memories of visiting him and my aunt and cousins when I was in Jr High School and they were living on the Cathedral grounds. Looking up at night and seeing the illuminated Cathedral at close range was truly awe-inspiring.

Paul,
I moved to Front Royal, Va in 78 and was 60 miles from the National Cathedral. I have attended many events at the Washington Cathedral since that time in addition to being a docent for 5 years. I may have run into your uncle. I do recognize his name. It is a wonderful experience looking up at the cathedral at night only now there is a lot of scaffolding around the central tower due to millions of dollars in damage cause by the earthquake last year.
