Claiborne Pell's funeral was in Newport's historic Trinity Church -- and so was that of his father, Herbert, in July 1961. A plaque is being erected in Claiborne's honor, just as his father was honored with the plaque pictured here, which I photographed yesterday on a visit to the church and a private guided tour by the church's Tom Erb. The father-son relationship is a critical one in my biography, and it's a them i will strike from the opening chapter.
