I am William M. Brodhead's eldest son, Michael. I edited my father's entry to remove the reference to Washington, DC residency. Dad moved away from the DC area over 15 years ago, though he is still a member of the DC Bar, IIRC.

Looking over the Verifiability policy, I'm not sure how to comply entirely, since I'd have to prove the negative. It's easy enough to show that Dad does live in the Detroit area, but how does one verify where he does not live?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Such transitory details are not especially salient in the article anyhow. I had put it in based on his Congressional Bioguide entry. One thought might be to contact the bioguide maintainers to request that they update the information. older ≠ wiser 21:34, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
