I just checked with a friend and former elected official in Winchester.
An excerpt of his response:

"Saw and talked to him yesterday; he is 93; very frail but very alert.
Goes to office at the newspaper almost every day."

Janet:

When I was in Winchester last October, I saw HFB riding in his limo
about three blocks from his house.  He looked very frail, but quite
alive.

I'm sure my friends in Winchester would have sent me his obit if he died
since then.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Harry Flood Byrd, Junior -- Still Living?


Hello Everyone,

A Byrd researcher said she believed that former Senator Harry Flood
Byrd, Junior had died, but I have not been able to find any biographies
or obituaries that indicate he has passed away (and I'm pretty sure that
someone would have  edited expeditiously his one on Wikipedia if he had
-- smile and sigh).

Can someone confirm that he is still living for me.

Thanks.

Janet (Baugh) Hunter.
