Mr. Williams is a Christian. He went to school at Stanford University and received a BA in Classics with Honors in Humanities, thereafter working at the Huntington Library and Art Gallery in San Marino, California. He received his MBA from the University of Southern California Graduate School of Management and Business (now identified as the USC Marshall School of Business), and received his JD from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Law, which triggered his interest in logical analysis and economics. He is married to noted real estate investor Kathryn Smith Williams, currently disabled with Huntington's disease and dementia, and has a daughter, Jo, who absorbs all the attention he can give. Occasionally known as the Earl of Hathaby, and more correctly as Lord Williams or Count Williams, he accepts democratic equality with pleasure. He lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, and enjoyed the neoVictorian aspects of the city before his wife, Kathryn, became ill with Huntington's disease, causing a quick relocation to Los Angeles, a city with better medical care. He was temporarily living in a succession of leased premises, taking his daughter to school in nearby Hancock Park, and hoping to get adequate care for his wife in place despite the general ignorance of the disease. He is now in the greater Phoenix area, happily enjoying a safer city, while his daughter pursues her passion in college.
