On December 16, 2020, former Central Michigan University President Bill Boyd passed away after a short battle with COVID-19. In addition to the obituaries and remembrances from CMU and 
the Racine Journal Times (a remembrance entitled, “A gentleman’s gentleman”), the “Wright in Racine” blog posted a remembrance. It turns out that Bill Boyd, who was born in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, eventually landed in Mt. Pleasant, Wisconsin. There, he served as president of the Johnson Foundation and, through marriage, became the inhabitant of a custom-designed Frank Lloyd Wright house called the Keland House.
