I think Hillary Clinton is almost as mentally sick as Harry Krause. Two peas in a pod. But Clinton got rich. Harry missed that boat * despite the fact that his daddy left him a boatload of money to * feather his nest. (Boating reference) Most of my dad's estate was left to my mother. I know that because I was present at our family lawyer's office when my dad, a year before his death, worked out the changes the family wanted in his will. I inherited all the hand and small electric tools from his boat shop, and a new 14' dory, outboard, and trailer, which I gave to our family accountant for his help "above and beyond" in selling off the store's merchandise and working with our family lawyer in redeveloping the real property into a mini-mall while I returned to D.C. to continue my career in advertising and marketing. I also inherited my dad's totally rebuilt and restored 1949 Jeepster, which I gave to my dad's long-time shop foreman. I was pleased that he maintained it properly and passed it on to his son. The funds generated enabled my mom to move to south Florida, buy a nice condo, and live another 25 years in comfort. Fair enough. Advertising and marketing, huh? Yup, I quit working for the teachers' union because I was tired of being on call 24-7 and the endless travel, and I was successfully recruited by at that time the largest AAAA ad, marketing, and pr agency in the D.C. market. I actually made a trip down to D.C. for a final interview (first one was in NYC) and for an separate interview with Jacob Javits, then a Republican U.S. Senator from New York State, who was looking for a new press secretary. I was recommended for that post by a Republican former state legislator in New York who was the registered lobbyist for the teachers union in New York and with who I worked on a few legislative issues and fundraisers. I took the ad agency job: it paid a lot better, my office in Georgetown overlooked the beautiful canal, and my assistant was to be a stunningly gorgeous young woman who looked like a Playboy model. Sadly, when I actually came down to D.C. to start, it was after a huge storm...the canal had collapsed and the dish had left the agency for greener pastures. ![]() But it all worked out. Three months later, I was researching and writing a script in preparation for a trip to Bangladesh to direct a film on Louis Kahn's National Parliamentary Building in Dhaka. ![]() |
