Thanks for this report.
But do digress a bit, what did the fellow have to say about Lady Thatcher and the President?
He wrote the first Campaign song for Mrs. Thatcher. When he went up to her several years ago and stated his name and said that she probably wouldn't remember him, she said to the effect of "oh no I remember you, you wrote my first campaign song. but don't worry, we won anyway"
He said that Mrs. Thatcher and President Reagan always made little quips at each other and that they were very alike.
He said that Reagan asked her to put together four or five of her best speechwriters to assist him with a speech he was working on, he was honored to be one of the ones chosen"
He said that President Reagan gave him a pair of Cufflinks for his assistance"
He said that he regrets that he never got a photo with Reagan, he has everyone else including the Pope, but he just never got one when he had the chances, and he regrets it.
