Father/Son Memory Immortalized

Recall this earlier post from almost two years ago which captured a father/son memory just several weeks before John died.  As recounted in that post, "while waiting at the bar for a table, father and son got a good laugh about the recent efforts of then Vice President Dick Cheney's office to abolish John's Dad's official position and his entire organization -- events that would become public several months later."

In some regards, the web is ephemeral.  Only just realizing that some of the public references to that Leonard/Cheney encounter were still available on the Internet, below is a link that gives a spot-on synopsis of what the incident was about and also confirmed for John's dad that when his work became fodder for late-night comedy, it was time to retire from the Federal government.


Additional insights into this memory can be found at this link as well as below.


As always, thanks for the fond memories, JW. We had a good laugh that night.  Little did we know that what we were talking about and sharing just among ourseleves that evening would become a topic for some of your favorite TV shows!
