Eliot DuBois was related to me through my dad's mother, Cornelia DuBois Floyd Nichols. Eliot and his wife Barbara retired to Taos. Their son Del lives in Taos.

A clean, 4-page typed draft of the eulogy. 3.) A Taos Episcopal Church program for the service on August 30, 1997. Eliot had died of cancer on August 20, 1997.
