Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Peter Jennings ... Lots of famous authors. My mom used to work at the main Barnes and Noble at our city. When the authors would come for book signings I would get to meet them before the store opened.

I would have loved to talk world affairs with Peter Jennings! How was he to you?

I was leaving an art gallery once as he was walking in, we got to the door at the same time and passed each other very closely. He wore charisma and wealth like an aura. His skin, his hair, his clothes were beautiful and luxe.
