Bo and George

And I don't mean Curious George, I'm talking about George W. Now... I realize that not everyone is going to be a Bush fan, and this isn't a political post so don't get your feathers all ruffled if you don't care for him.

This is about a really cool letter we received in the mail today. One of my good friends, Scot Cochran, is with the United States Secret Service. I got to know Scot about 6 years ago during my hotel career. I was in meetings and conventions and we went through a span where we had many dignitaries come to our property for my events such as...Former President Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and White House Chief of Staff, Andrew Card. Needless to say I got to know the Secret Service very well. Scot was working with the MS Secret Service and was later moved to the United States Secret Service and is now with the Presidential Protective Division. Along with protecting the President he also is one of his drivers. Last April Jarrod and I went to DC and Scot took us on a tour of the President's limos and other cars, it was a really cool experience. In today's mail we received a wonderful keepsake for Bo. I scanned this tonight so I could post it. I realize it's hard to see, but you get the idea. It is a real signature, not a "mass production". What a cool thing for Bo to have. Thank you Scot!!
