When I was a kid our teachers encouraged us to find a pen pal from far away, so we could learn about how other people lived. (I should have written to you and learned about Paris!)<BR/><BR/>Senator Kennedy was kind enough to write back. (I don't remember if he was a senator then.) Maybe a secretary wrote it, but it was very nice. Not a form letter. And he signed it.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-46144860375847527262009-02-11T23:50:00.000+01:002009-02-11T23:50:00.000+01:00LOL Tall Gary.

I have seen her quite a few times, and curtsied, but the giggle: I had to attend a performance at the Barbican which she also attended. I was close by, as we often were and as she took her seat in the audience, we exchanged smiles. Nothing really unusual. However, as the national anthem started playing and it was so serious, you know the giggles you get sometimes in serious situations? We were very young ladies at the time and caught each other's eye and got TERRIBLE giggles! It was actually quite awful, a struggle to stop and for no particular reason. Prince Charles noticed and mumbled something to her and she stopped smiling then pulled a little face at me as if to say oh I've been told off! Of course, this is a very little occasion but to me was great and so funny! So, Bettina, I cannot claim to have touched - only to have seen LOL. I was introduced to Princess Anne around that time and, as a lot of Royals live close to where I now live, I see her and the others now and again.<BR/>I totally understand your collection! Not weird at all. I too have some collections; napkins of dinners of the time, a letter from Prince Charles' office, china, etc. and of course newspapers. Oh yes, I admit it I am a Royalist through and through. lol!Cheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-37776163212497562252009-02-11T14:44:00.000+01:002009-02-11T14:44:00.000+01:00This si another classic, the light peeking through...This si another classic, the light peeking through of another iconic builing.
