On Michael Joyce

My thoughts are along the same line as Fred's. Michael Joyce was a very important person for both Wisconsin and conservatism. I think a lot of us were aware of Joyce, but never really had the chance to learn more about him and how truly important he was. I learned a lot more about Joyce yesterday than I had known previously and regret that I had not learned more about him prior to his passing. For most of us, finding the words befitting someone of Joyce's caliber and position is tough to do, and in those instances we leave that to those who knew the person, like Sykes, or those who are more on the inside of conservatism, like those at National Review.
