A belated Happy Birthday greeting goes out to Alan Peters in California. I am a few days after the fact but our wishes are just as warm . . . Friends from Fulton County will be in town this weekend to celebrate Bob's birthday which is coming up on the 20th. I am in deep trouble; I haven't the slightest idea of what to get him. Any suggestions? . . . JJ had a melancholy afternoon saying goodbye to the Governor at The Residence. Of course he doesn't understand the circumstances: "He has to go home to Philadelphia to take care of the dogs," JJ told me. The kid has been privileged to attend quite a number of events at the house. He really enjoyed the holiday decorations (especially the trains) and the Governor always had a gift for him whatever the occasion. He sat in the Governor's office chair and found that it suited him just fine. And a few years ago when we were struck with a severe ice storm JJ even spent the night there when a tree limb pierced the roof at home and knocked out the power. Both parents had been part of the Governor's administrative team for several years . . .
