Chronicle Obit - Thomas S. Adams

I'm glad the Chronicle of today reaches for the level of the Chronicle of my youth. Highlights from today's obit "Thomas S. Adams -- Descendant of presidents":

After a few drinks... one could count on a hilarious soliloquy from Mr. Adams.

"Tommy was a simple guy," said his wife...
