Okay, I have blasted through the article making the changes you indicate and some more changes besides. I moved Hilliard's marriage down to a Personal life section, which includes his death. I deleted See also because its links were already present. I moved some External links up into the article as refs. I added some published works and refs. I did a little bit of format tweaking here and there. I think we are ready! Binksternet (talk) 02:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Good editing. It passed for GA. Chris (talk) 13:37, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
