In Charleston I have found the happiest years of my life. I enjoy the sweet grass basket makers in the markets I enjoy the mansion in our town. I enjoy the carriage rides.
My brother has been to every inauguration since Kennedy. Kennedy was my mother’s friend. She was their dress designer. She was friends with Howard Hughes. Dad was one of Nixon’s men. He and mom were divided over the election of the president. Mom wanted Humphrey very much. As children we were campaigning for each president. I got to go to camp david. In many ways I appreciate my parents allowing me and my brothers and sisters allow to follow our own lives our own path. We were allowed to choose our own area of study. I did not realize how much my parents had to go through in order to allow me to live a normal life while in the middle of the United States. I had body guards. Growing up in a house that doors had to be covered in plexiglass for my safety. My father would jingle the keys in his pocket so I would know it was add for me to go with him.
Dad would give me a dream sheet of where we would go. The dream sheets were important to all of us. It started with the dears wish book. Choosing what we wanted for Christmas. Dreaming about the job we wanted to have. Before we went anywhere Tom’s of planning had to be done. Cars needs to be made food had to be grown meals had to be planned. In the end dad wanted me to find something goood about every assignment we had.
The most fun I had was 1976…. Dad let us paint the entire town red white and blue. We painted everything from our garage doors to the fire hydrants. We turned them into little soldiers. Which was turned out to be a bad decision because the fire dept couldn’t find the fire hydrants. But we made everything red white and blue
Years ago wheh I was just a little girl I could go into the White House lash without a fence. I don’t know I’m certain the fences exited all the time but I was on the lawn of the white house with my brother who was protesting the Vietnam war. I was dressed in a hippy costume at the time it was mom choice for me. We had been making candles in soda pop cans. The candles were to be used in vituals. I was on president ford conservation club. We saved the tabs from the Sid’s cans saved everything. Mom had so much fun on that trip we went from the White House to Arlington then to ocean city Maryland. I stayed in a tent on the camp grounds. I flew a Batman kite and beside me was a little praying mantis. It was the strangest site I had ever seen. It seemed surreal. The land was Cumberland gap Maryland . There were signs that said military installations. Dad explained to my brother where we were and a black limo pulled up taking my brother and my dad out of that part of the camp grounds into camp David. The night before we were spending the night in a tent while it was pouring down rain. I was on a mattress with my sister it was an air mattress. A hurricane was coming in and we spent the night in a hotel called the fox fire inn. Now I found myself next to camp David. The limo would take my brother Dan to Washington DC to his job in the Pentagon. He would simply work the road crew the sept of accountability. His job was to erect the monuments. The ones this last generation tote down. He went to every historical place and added a marker. Lee he erected a horse grant a Tomb he worked to try and finish the Washington monument. Tom has been in my life since the events of 911. I wanted to work with him in solving some of the problems that he’s facing but many he faces by himself acting independently. But it is true we are all in this together. When he’s gone at work my little dog guards the front door. The little dog is more than just a little dog it is Tom’s dog and works with him. .
I remember the maid coming into my hotel room as a child we were playing monopoly. The made moved my monopoly game from one bed to the next. I knew it had been moved. I was wondering who was in the house. Dad said it was the made nothing you had was stolen it was the maid. He said they search your room to clean it.
God bless the diplomatic security service team ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
Great episode! This is what we do!
My children grew up not knowing or understanding the family . To tell them you do have a mother you do have a father. You are loved.

I like these two officers, they’re super chatty!
We left books for our children. We recorded the stories onto the records for my children. We read story books for the children I left behind.
