Sometimes you learn a lot about a person by learning about their family. Mr. Williams' father, Doug Williams, was a United States Marine. He was part of the honor guard located at the Marine Corps barracks on Eighth and I Streets in Washington, D.C. Here's a link to their website. And this from a 1971 Time magazine article, just a few years after he finished serving: "Only the best in the 212,000-man corps are accepted for duty in the parade squad of 200 enlisted men and eleven officers. Lean and hard, the Marines are mostly over six feet tall. . . They practice as much as 16 hours a day before the season begins until each maneuver is letter-perfect. Then they practice some more. 'Eighth and I is an exhibition of perfection in standard military formations,' says Corps Commandant General Leonard Chapman Jr. 'It is all by the book. That is what it is all about.' ". The brother of Mr. Williams' father is his more famous relative. Gary Williams is the head coach of the Maryland Terrapins men's basketball team. Gary resurrected the Maryland basketball program from the dead, and his team won the 2001 NCAA national championship. Here's a link to more about Gary. Go Terps! Sometimes it helps to know that your lawyer is from "good stock!"
