I greeted former Senator John Kerry in the elevator saying it was nice to see him again and that we had met twice- we hadn't, I had mistaken him for Thomas O'Neill III, whom we met when Donna's father and my father were still alive. I told Donna he was the senator and mentioned he went to Yale, to which he said "I did", but I kept thinking of the former Lieutenant Govenor for some reason. Senator Kerry said he knew I was talking about whom he knows as "Tommy". He gave me a salute of a raised arm to say nice to meet you. Donna's father was a high school principal and worked with Hubert Humphrey.
