When Quimmley returned from Los Angeles--shaken but still defiant--he moved back to the Midwest. But his legacy lived on, and in his memory, Gayer suggested founding the Webster Quimmley Society for people who preferred the middle road to the excesses of either right or left.Gayer's editor thoughtfully put the story on the Associated Press wire, and it exploded all over the country. "All of a sudden," recalls Gayer, still a little awed, "the story began popping up with datelines from a dozen different cities. I knew there couldn't be very many people on either extremity, but they were making all the noise. We needed a voice for the 150 million people in the middle, and I had no idea how hungry they were for it. "Within a month, I had almost 10,000 letters from people who wanted to join.".…
