| Kissing Bobby's Really Important Friends |
| John F Kennedy Lyndon B Johnson A normal(?) Febuary,1961 day with one phone call that said to me: "This is John Kennedy congratulating you on being voted Entertainer Of The Year at Teen Magazine, again". He has a good sense of humor about himself so I say back: "Good thing for you there is a law saying that a guy my age cannot be elected President". I hear him laugh and someone else laugh in the background, then that person says "That kid is dynamite"- Lyndon Johnson! Knowing there is a speaker phone there I say to the President so they can both hear: "That buddy of yours, Johnson, is soo old that the last time Jesus saw him, Jesus looked up to Heaven and said: 'Pops, that helper of yours from Let There Be Light Day is here!". Much, much laughter. |
| Pope Pius XII |
| Short and Sweet The Pope: I am happy to see that you are helping to bring more babies into the world with your kissing. Me: Now it is your job to help them to the next world. The Pope: Amen |
| Charles de Gaulle Mr. France: Will you please come to France to kiss the french girls? Me: Yes I will. ALL the french girls! First your wife! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! More Kiss Kiss Kiss for your wife! Mr. France: Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh |
| Bobby Kennedy |
| Bobby Kennedy: If my brother made you Secretary of the Treasury, what would you do? Me: Buy my girlfriends all-day suckers. Millions of suckers for millions of girls! |
| Pope John XXIII |
| AKA The Giggler" |
| Every time of the 200-300 calls John(he asks me to call him John) we talk about the simple customs of life. Shopping for food, walking, talking with friends and much more. Many things he thinks we do here in America is funny, so he giggles and giggles and giggles. And then I make fun of his giggling so that he is happy again. If he does not giggle I giggle- he giggles! Much happiness in teaching him how we do things here and how he lived as a child. |
| Pope Paul VI |
| As much worrying from Paul VI as happiness from John XXIII. Paul VI received much of the benefit of political information I received from the other approximate 125 heads of states I spoke with. Benefit but not exact information because some was confidential. I also separated the political BS from the truths for Paul VI to interact better with other heads of states |
| Makarios Archbishop of Cyprus Real fun guy and obsessed with sports. So I arranged for a few free balls sent to Cyprus. A few thousand. That was the last I heard of Makarios. I wonder why?! |
| Fidel Castro After the serious talks,one was the Cuban Missile Crisis, Fidel talked for long times about the people of Cuba. |
| Che Guevara Past fighting buddy of Fidel talked to me of his dreams of being a doctor again like he was before the Cuban Revolution. And he thought he taught me about girls- but I was way past him on that already! |
| Raul Castro Fidel's Brother Asked me what everybody else was saying to me! I appreciated him looking after everybody else. |
| Ramon Castro Oldest of the Castro Brothers I met him in California where he was a farmer. His brothers let him back into Cuba years later. This Castro was too much of a talker of making money to be in Cuba at the start of the Cuban revolution. His brothers still loved him. Had to love him- a real nice guy! |
