In retirement he realized how extraordinary had been what he had witnessed in his career at Florham and with the Twomblys at their homes in New York City and Newport, a way of life gone forever, and set out to record his memories in a draft memoir he dictated to a friend, and in several interviews with The New Yorker, including a lengthy profile. "It was an epoch! It was a special time, and the way those houses were run should not be forgotten."
