C.D.B. Bryan

Courtlandt Dixon Barnes Bryan, was an accomplished man who lived here in Guilford, and while I knew him,  I wish that I had spent more time with him. Courty was an interesting and engaging person, as you can see from the last paragraph of his obit in todays NYTimes:

"Mr. Bryan was a smoker, a drinker and an avid and gifted conversationalist who effortlessly commanded the attention of people around a dinner table, his son said. He will be cremated in advance of a memorial service early next year, St. George Bryan added; until then, his remains are to be stored in martini shakers."
