R.I.P., R.W. Apple, who despite his prodigious appetites was not a polygamist

Mr. Apple's first marriage, to Edith Smith, a former vice-consul in Saigon, ended in divorce. In 1982, he married the former Betsey Pinckney Brown, and she became his traveling companion, driver and partner at table, often introduced in his first-person food and travel articles as "my wife Betsey." She survives him, as do two step-children from her first marriage, Catherine Brown Collins of Washington and John Brown of Alexandria, Va., and a sister, Barbara Pittman of Rockford, Ill. - New York Times, October 4, 2006
Ironic to have your one signature line misquoted in your own obituary in the paper where you became a legend.
