88. An incredible privilege indeed.

May 2024

There have be so many Presidents in my lifetime I would never want to meet. And those I would want to meet, I would not want to take their time away from doing their job. I'd want to have met them before or after they held that office. And I think before, as you had the privilege, would be best.
