"I've been contacted by Hamilton B Hearst.
He's interested in attending attending the Sept 27th get together, but indicated that he would have to alter his Mediteranean sailing schedule and have his yacht make a special stop in either Nice or Monaco. From there his G-5 will fly him non-stop to Fairfield Airport which is only two minutes from Mountain Ridge.
Hamilton asked me to send him the list of attendees as he'd like to screen it to make certain that no riff-raff are in attendance.
I informed him that the list was confidential and not for distribution.
He paused, then said that his entourage and body guards would accompany him just in case.
For those of you who don't know Hamilton B Hearst, a member of about 20 of the most elite clubs in the World, this may be your chance to finally meet him."
Patrick:
That sounds like you've been talking to yourself again. Should I tell Deb privately? You're good, pal, you are very good but for both you and Hamilton B. Hearst to be in the same room at the same time would be some kind "smoke and mirrors" tech act that even George Lucas of movie-making tech fame might not be able to pull off.
And futhermore, if Hammie Hearst doesn't know Fern or Jan Cushing, provided he's not some kind of kin to Randolf Hearst, I'll guarantee you he's basically a social pretender and a perhaps a social fraud even if he belongs to 20 clubs. And if he doesn't play Fernandina Beach Municipal at least once a year he's a total nobody, in my book.
By the way, Pat, belonging to GCGC you must know Joe Donahue. He's a total hoot and he sure does have a background in golf and golf administration. He sure isn't on this website but he's a great guy. Should I ask him to come? He has been known to rise right in the middle of various speeches and make some pretty extraordinary and memorable remarks prefaced by qualifiers such as----"That might be the most idiotic statement I have ever heard." Actually, Joe has long been one of my best philosophical mentors.
