Among some of the events chronicled in those diaries, while at Washington and Lee University, Dash had another boyfriend, Harry Agneau, who committed suicide when he and Dash were expelled due to their relationship being unveiled. In that period, Jeb's boyfriend was Randall Hare, a married man.
The book also chronicles the time when Jeb and Dash took a trip to France at the outbreak of World War II--not the best of timing.
Jeb died on May 11, 1965, in Washington, D.C.
