Heidi to finally receive prize from William F. Buckley’s will!!!!


Conservatives and Liberals alike were saddened to hear about the final passing of National Review founder William F. Buckley earlier this calendar year. What most people don’t realize is that WFB, as he was affectionately known, and Heidi Montag shared a “pen pal” relationship for over a decade, starting when Heidi was a little girl growing up in Colorado. They were both staunch traditionalists in so many things-- eschewing emails and even text messaging to instead correspond via letter, utilizing old-fashioned paper and pen. They always used stationery from Smythson of Bond Street and ink pens from Mont Blanc. They had so much to talk about that at some points they were trading four and five letters a week!!!! And all through the U.S. Mail, which is STILL the best bargain available if one needs to ship small items like letters or compact disc recordings that have been sold on Ebay or Half.com. Mr. Buckley’s will was recently executed and it turns out he left Heidi a prize—to be hers for the remainder of her natural life. It is none of our business exactly what this item was, but it is great to know that Heidi was remembered in WFB’s last will and testament. Heidi still thinks of him every day!!!!
