Wednesday, 30April 2008. Under sunny skies, I headed down to Fort Lauderdale. I had been trying to set up lunch with an old friend Connie Xanthos. He was busy, and so I did some work on the computer and relaxed during the afternoon. My neighbor contacted me to say that package, I was expecting had arrived, but was going to be sent back unless I alone could sign for it. I tried calling FedEx but they needed a release from the company. For dinner I met up with Keith Fern who is my broker. He had been handling my small amount of stocks for some 15 years or more, but we had never met. I joined, he and his wife for a lovely Italian dinner, and great conversation for several hours. We hoped it would not be another 15 years before we got together for dinner again.
