I so love this story. The mental picture of that eager 17 year old kid getting to drive in a presidential motorcade.....wow, just wow! What a fantastic memory. I got to speak briefly with C. Everett Koop in a hallway after he gave the keynote address at a conference I was attending. He was very nice, but not nearly as exciting as 'maintaining the integrity of the motorcade!"
What an interesting saga. I’m so impressed you had a suit from Robert Hall. I haven’t heard that name in eons.
This is such a great story, Jack. Thanks for sharing it.

I could vividly imagine being the same 17-year old boy. Wonderful writing! (and a Robert Hall reference to boot)
