Istel hosted a dinner, dress was either black tie or jump suit. I rolled up my booties. Blue Skies! Harry L."Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."

howardwhite 5 #6 April 20, 2008 Quote To this day, Istel doesn't believe men should wear hats indoors, especially when women are present. Hmm. I had dinner last year at JAI's summer camp in New Hampshire and, unless I'm mistaken, I wore my baseball cap indoors throughout the evening, and Felicia was present.I put her out on her first (and only) jump. I thought Jacques had hand-picked me for this assignment, as he had for a previous wife, but she told me last year she hadn't told him until after the jump. Jacques has always been masterful in getting good press, and his mastery continues in this story. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
