The reverend T. Willard Hunter, author, speaker and creator of the 4th of July Speakers Corner, died last night. He was 93 years old.
The longtime Pilgrim Place resident wrote notable books such as Busdrivers Never Get Anywhere and The Spirit of Charles Lindbergh.
The T. Willard Hunter Speakers Corner will be held as usual on July 4th at Memorial Park with a memorial tribute to be given at noon. Hunter began the Claremont Independence Day Speakers Corner 32 years ago and fashioned it after London's Hyde Park Corner.
The COURIER will have a full account of Mr. Hunter's life in an upcoming issue.
