• ‟ It's something he used to say when he was happy. It could be a very, very simple day. We might be sitting out on the front lawn. Dad loved classical music and we might be listening to some Stravinsky or something and having some tea and eggs. And he'd say, 'Oh, good stuff, isn't it?'

• ‟ Simple. Pared down. Timeless. The ties were never too thick or too thin; the pants were never too flared or too skinny.
