Personal Notes:
When I was a little whippersnapper, I shared a bedroom with Nanny Chivas in the Columbia house. I remember once getting in trouble and getting sent to my room. Nanny snuck me a piece of shortbread and brought it to me because she knew that I felt real bad for making my parents angry. Even though I was young, I still think she was the kindest person I've ever known.
