To Mary Anne's family. I am so sorry I was unable to attend the funeral for Mary Anne. She was a special person, one of my journalism friends and more. Paul and she played bridge with Tom and me over many years and often danced to big band music in their lovely home. One of our funniest times was going to a GOP dinner (we were not invited but went as newspaper reporters and photographers) at the Statler Hotel where Harry James was playing. Everyone kept wondering who we were as we strolled through the banquet hall because to be honest we had no seats. My son Paul, now 48, spent time swimming in their pool as a little boy. I had just received her phone number from her niece and before I had a chance to visit her, she was gone. I am so sorry for your family...she was a lively spirit and I shall miss her as I know you will even more.
