DT,
How neat. Not that you lost it, but that you had it. :pWhat was the letter regarding and what date? I imagine it might be valuable today, both politically and personally no/
TIS
The letter was written in the spring of 1961. I wrote to him about the Peace Corps, and I got a two paragraph response. All I remember about it was that
he ended the letter like this:
...I am,
Very truly yours
John F. Kennedy.
For years I ended all my correspondence that way (except for the name). I shook hands with Jimmy Carter once, and all I remember was how short he was.
Also was in a hotel lobby when Ronald Reagan walked in (1976 GOP Convention),and I still remember what a tremendous presence he had. He literally sucked all the air out of the room. I saw Clinton speak in public, and he, like Reagan had the same magic. Last year during the primaries, my wife was working out and Obama (with secret service) came into the room and worked out on a machine right across from her. He had his I-Pod, and she made eye contact but did not want to bother him. She said he looked incredibly intense.
