I forgot to get back to you on this, but I found his grandson on Facebook. Do a search yourself if you know Facebook, and you'll find "William C. Birtwell III".

He's a young man in Connecticut and a university student at the U. of C., and he was very surprised when I contacted him out of the blue. I told him that I had met his grandfather, etc.

The grandfather died in 1975 or thereabouts. The grandson put me in touch with his mother who knew W.C. better, and we had a sort of cyber-family reunion with relatives whom I have never met! I'm in Baja, Mexico, too, and they are in Connecticut.

Small world, eh?
