My friend Phil took me for beers at the Natonal Press Club last night and we ended up chatting for a long time with a longtime member, John Cosgrove, who came to DC in 1937 and has met every president since Herbert Hoover. He even swore JFK into the Press Club.
He thought at one point he was boring us with his stories but I assured him it was fascinating listening to his tales, to hear from someone who once worked for California Sen. Hiram Johnson and could remember when D.C. was, as Kennedy put it, a sleepy Southern town.
Also, god willing, I should be so lucid at the age of 90.
