No orders..you just did it. We raised our kids like they're employees. We negotiate. We explain. We analyze. We deal with their rights and 'contracts'. How'd we do?jwcoonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-51371323901569966612010-03-19T21:40:21.876-07:002010-03-19T21:40:21.876-07:00What about Quincy Adams over Jackson?What about Quincy Adams over Jackson?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-67836528441409833882010-03-19T12:38:30.873-07:002010-03-19T12:38:30.873-07:00Nixon should be credited with launching a million ...Nixon should be credited with launching a million "dick" jokes.Mike Barerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447874605833321732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-29732136113588593772010-03-18T19:05:27.742-07:002010-03-18T19:05:27.742-07:00Ken, I don't know if you've addressed this...Ken, I don't know if you've addressed this elsewhere, but is there a publication date for your memoir?Charles H.

I was the copyboy and gopher.<br /><br />One day, the boss told me to take the news car over to one of the Hollywood hotels and pick up a network reporter who wanted to go buy fruit at the famous Farmer's Market. <br /><br />If it weren't for his obsession with guavas, Dan Rather and I never would have met.<br /><br />He regrets it to this day...Barefoot Billy Alohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04586870309250699505noreply@blogger.com
