This has nothng to do with this post, but just reporting that I read in the washington business journal (oct 30 issue) that Peterson company signed a lease for Nandos Peri Peri in the old Bombay & Co space on Ellsworth. Hate Ellsworth all you want, but Nando’s makes some incredible chicken and more. Their Chinatown location is awesome. Quick, somebody get us some details on the opening!!!

A LOCAL LIFE: Richard Whelton, 87

18.10.09

In his 87 years, he was a man of varied loves and works, interests and affiliations. He was father of six and, for 63 years, the husband of a nurse who helped look after his patients, managed his medical office, paid his bills and handled insurance claims. He once told her that he wished he could practice medicine "without the dollar sign."

"Then you shouldn't have had six children," she said.

In addition to his private medical practice, Dr. Whelton served simultaneously as D.C. coroner. He did postmortem examinations in cases of suspicious, unexplained or unattended death, and he testified as a witness in court. His telephone often rang with calls from homicide detectives and people on the 800-family patient list to whom he had given his home number. His wife and children were his answering service.

There was one man who called every evening with unrelenting regularity during Dr. Whelton's years in the coroner's office, 1959 to 1971. That was Alfred E. Lewis, the veteran police and crime reporter for The Washington Post, and Lewis always began the conversation the same way: "What's for dinner?"
