<<Walter Annenberg .... U of P will be crying in their beer tonight !!!>> That is sad, a very very very generous man.
I knew his son , we were at EA together.
His son was an excellent fellow and his very young death from Leukemia i know was a lifetime heart-ache for Mr. Walter Annenberg.PaxMax

VERY OT:JB i just read the obit in on philly.com.
The suicide factor regards Rogers death is disconcerting to me.
We were advised it was the result of Leukemia.
And i feel the reportage regards Roger is melodramatized and unfair.
What is the shame of being brilliant and an intense lover of poetry and to spend hours playing classical music on a piano
And yes he had a hair lip, so what.
He was soft spoken and gentle, if the suicide statement is the actual truth it raises the question are they missing somehow that he did have leukemia and that contributed to his taking sleeping pills.
There was NOTHING 'freaky' about Roger Annenberg and i knew his father deeply loved him.
I do not know what happened after he left to go to Harvard, all i know is the word was he had Leukemia and died of it.
May be it was a cover up story, as family didn't want the other story out
