reach melody miller ms miller it s bruce weber at the new york times i don t know if you got any of my emails but we would like to run an obituary about your husband first of all it s fair to describe your husband as an advisor to democratic candidates right i mean he worked with kennedy in the he was on kennedy s staff right right what i m gonna do is first go through just the usual questions that we go through with all families and then i have some specific questions about your husband your husband s full name at birth william p wilson that s p a r m e n t e r september 4th 9 4 28 and what was his date of death so he was 86 and where was he when he died washington d c okay and the cause of death did he go to public schools in chicago so he enlisted in the army and served in the korean war and then university of illinois on the gi bill what did he study okay people often ask oh you re an obit writer isn t it depressing maybe it s macabre maybe it s a little morbid i m not sure that writing the obits the fact of death is really that much at the forefront of my mind it s almost never depressing because we re almost always writing about someone in his or her eighties or nineties who has died after a long rich creative fulfilling life in an obit of 800 words or so maybe a sentence or two will be about the death and the other 90 percent is about the life so it s counterintuitive ironic even but obits have next to nothing to do with death and in fact absolutely everything to do with the life we don t have much new going on yeah i ve only got two people oh i was gonna give you this argentine cardinal he seems to have had a big role in the vatican i think we looked for him already the and i don t think there was anything actually there aren t too many of us doing this anymore i mean you could count them on one hand most papers just don t devote an entire department to this it s a little bit off putting you know in a party situation i say i write obituaries but sometimes if i m in the mood i say i am an obituarist and the reaction is almost always sort of pulling back as if i were uh you know uh contagious you know they think it s one step away from an undertaker s job with all due respect to undertakers sometimes people laugh sometimes people look at you in shock sometimes people go oh wow i love obits sometimes people go oh and go on to you know go on to talk to somebody more interesting than me in italian they say it has the prefix necro in it it s like necrologista you know necrologica so it could be worse you know i just say i write obituaries huh that s interesting yeah what can you tell me about his parents beginning with their names now jane as the usual spelling there s no y in there or anything and what did your husband s father do for a living a congressman from where from illinois from illinois a democrat i take it this is interesting he might be worth something dan have we looked for herbert ellis he was a british surgeon commander when did he die yeah you re right he died october 4th it s too late death strikes suddenly and unexpectedly and you don t know who you re gonna be writing about from day to day when you re on the obits desk literally i show up in the morning and i say who s dead and somebody puts a folder on my desk and that s you know that s what i do that day this is julie harris by the way you know i tend to sort of fall in love with the people i write about anyhow it s sort of how i respond to people whether they re alive or dead starting the day getting a name you ve never heard of knowing that you are going to have to have command of this person s life work and historical significance in under seven hours is equal parts exhilaration and terror every single day i have to fight down panic and i ve done this a thousand times it can be a teacher of belly dancing an expert on exotic chickens an underwater cartographer these are literally people we have all done the coverage i had initially seen and i don t even remember where it came from just said arranged i m expressing skepticism about whether he actually wrote the songs or just put his name on them but that s hard to prove if my suspicions are right and we do the obit and we say he co wrote people will come out of the woodwork and say no he didn t but he s never been taken to court as far as i know so maybe my skepticism is misplaced i was leaning away from doing him and now i m leaning toward doing him are you yeah now richard rich i actually flipped through mary wells s book and she does credit him as a very creative advertising writer certainly in its day it was one of the big advertising agencies it was a very big advertising agency and they were famous for doing some very bold advertising the editors are besieged by people who don t understand being a worthy person and a virtuous person does not make you a newsworthy person often they ll get a phone call from someone saying my uncle subscribed to the new york times all his life and it was a religion for him and it would just be so gratifying to the family if he could have an obituary in the new york times i ll bet there s 10 or 15 calls like that every day and they re utterly sincere i think he s worth a short you know just for the record wendy s hot and juicy campaign benson hedges alka seltzer pieces of pop culture history we have to decide if we want him to go back to the lawyer for waylon jennings well you know a lot of people persuading yardley s concern as i understand it is that if you write the story you d have to get into the uglier aspects of it and my feeling is so what my feeling is that makes it a better story the question is who can do him i can ask paul to knock that out yeah why not have paul look into it bruce is gonna continue with wilson yeah right sounds good the one thing all the subjects have in common besides being dead is that their lives had an impact of one sort or another the word impact is infinitely elastic that impact can be of world shaking importance you know when brezhnev died that was the end of a particular era in one of the great social experiments of the 20th century the beginning of the decline of the soviet empire and then you get to the guy who invented the slinky and he had an impact too millions of people bought the slinky and took pleasure in it if you weigh in one hand slinky and in the other hand soviet union 20th century obviously one hand is gonna dip way down here and the other hand s gonna be way up here but i ll bet a lot of people turn rate this
