Chickering left behind his wife Audrey and two sons, Sherman, now a California editor, and William H. III (born after his father's death), a Wisconsin physician, as well as an indelible impression on all those he had touched. After the war, the Navy named a movie theater on the Yokosuka base after him. When senior editor Barrett Seaman heard the story this week, he said, "I went to school with a William Henry Chickering. I'll bet he was this man's son." Barry made a telephone call, and the past opened up briefly for our generation working...
