Dear Mr. Booz:

I am writing in response to your letter of October 30th to Dr. Kissinger. First, please forgive the long delay in responding but both Dr. Kissinger and I have been travelling extensively and wanted to look into the matter of your arrest before answering your letter.

From your description of the incident, it clearly raises very real concerns about how the Chinese authorities handled the situation and we can only be sympathetic to the very real personal and professional agony which the incident must have caused you. Unfortunately, however the Chinese position seems to be that they have handled your case strictly in accordance with their laws and under the circumstances, I am afraid there is nothing we can do to help you at this point.

Thank you for writing us. I regret there was not more we could do to help.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I am writing for help and advice about a matter that is rather beyond the
ordinary. After talking with friends, including Orville Schell, I have
decided to write this letter, knowing how busy you are. I hope it does not
seem impertinent.

Twenty-five years ago you made your historic first journey to China. As a direct result of that great opening, my mother and I were in the first group of Americans invited by the Chinese to teach in China. I was posted to the southwestern city of Kunming and have maintained ever since a close relationship with China as a teacher, publisher and lecturer.

Earlier this year my wife and I (both U.S. citizens) travelled along the South China Coast, going slowly from town to town, gathering material for a book on the Treaty Ports and traditions of the seaborne people, and especially chronicling the last of the sailing junks; only about 300 of these remain. My wife is a photographer and documented the coastal life and its people.

We found ourselves on this coast during the Taiwanese presidential
elections in March, at the height of the Taiwan Straits tension.
By an extremely bad piece of luck, a local boatman put us onto a pier that
turned out to belong to a small naval station. The full story of the
incident, in detail, follows on one page, but the upshot is this:

1. My wife and I were arrested, interrogated and detained for 72 hours.

2. In spite of a careful investigation that proved our story and the mistake of the boatman, the National Security authorities confiscated our research film (106 rolls) and expelled us from China.

3. We purposely kept this incident out of the media, hoping to quietly arrange for the return of the film and not exacerbate the situation.

4. Over the past months we have tried, without success, to retrieve the film through normal channels. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing and the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong have had no success.

5. As a last resort we are turning to you because of your understanding, long-standing contacts and good relations with China.

My wife and I have been friends of China for nearly two decades and have invested a tremendous amount of time and energy in that country. We feel that a sympathetic outside voice will help us to right this wrong and re-institute goodwill into the whole relationship.

The film is important for our research and livelihood, and represents the culmination of years of scholarship. There is nothing on it of a sensitive nature; in fact it is a record of a vanishing way of life, and an optimistic presentation of the modernization that China so earnestly desires today.

Is there anything you can do on our behalf? We will do all we can to cooperate by supplying references or more information. It is simply that traditional channels have reached a dead-end, and with China, as you know, the voice of an old friend can make all the difference.

With all respect and good wishes.

Yours truly,

Patrick Booz

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Calling regarding letter you wrote to Amb. Li on November 8. In the letter
you mentioned Mr. Booz and Mrs. Booz and want to reply to what you raised
in your letter.

Mr. Booz and his wife are US citizens and were found carrying out activities
incompatible with China. By illegally entering restricted Chinese military
areas and taking photographs of military facilities, they violated Chinese laws
and endangered China's national security. In accordance with law, The
departments concerning China, confiscated their film and ordered them to
leave the country. We want to assure you the case was handled strictly in
accordance with Chinese law and your understanding would be very much
appreciated so I hope you will convey this information to Dr. Kissinger.

Dear Ambassador Li:

It was a pleasure to see you again today when you made your call on Dr. Kissinger. As we noted, Dr. Kissinger and I will be in China in early December. We will be visiting several Provinces in the South with top officials of the Enron corporation to discuss Enron's interest in power projects there. Our itinerary calls for us to arrive in Shenzhen late on December 4th. We will spend December 5th in Shenzhen, December 6th in Fuzhou and December 7 in Hangzhou. Dr. Kissinger will leave China December 8th while I will go to Beijing for 3 or 4 days.

We have already requested meetings in Shenzhen with the Mayor and in the other cities with the respective Governors and Party Secretaries.

On another matter, Dr. Kissinger had intended, but forgot to give you the attached letter which he recently received from Mr. Patrick Booz. Mr. Booz is unknown to either of us and we do not take any position on the issue he raises in the letter but wanted to draw it to your attention.

STATEMENT OF DETENTION

At 12 noon on March 12, 1996, Patrick Booz and Ingrid Booz Morejohn were travelling in southern Guangdong Province along the China Coast. By mistake, a local boatman delivered us to a pier, where he said we could find ongoing transport. At the pier stood a civilian vehicle and a number of local people and pearl workers dressed in civilian clothes. We believed we were in a public area because of all the regular activity going on. It turns out, however, that the pier and surrounding area belonged to a naval restricted zone. Even though we walked openly and asked openly for directions, we were detained by the naval authorities and later by officers of National Security (Guojia Anquan).

During the night of March 12-13, Patrick Booz and Ingrid Booz Morejohn had all of their belongings searched and underwent a long period of interrogation. Detention in fact lasted for three days.

On that first night the authorities confiscated 106 rolls of film (professional slide film: Fuji Provia and Velvia) that had been taken during the previous seven weeks during travels to tourist and cultural sites in Hainan, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces. On March 14 we gave to the authorities a detailed 11-page list of all places visited, clearly showing that we only visited officially open areas and only photographed old buildings, temples, pagodas, fishing boats and sailing boats, scenic spots, oyster cultivation and local culture.

We were transferred on the second day from the original coastal site of Dajing to Xuwen, a county seat. Finally we were taken to the large city of Zhanjiang at the northeast end of the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong Province. Late at night on March 14 we were taken abruptly to a hotel conference room where some 20 people waited, with harsh lights, photographers and video cameras filming us. We were told by an interpreter that now we would receive our sentence from the National Security Authorities of Zhanjiang. An official read a written document stating we had entered a restricted area on March 12, had broken the law and must exit China within 24 hours and not leave the hotel. 106 rolls of exposed film were formally confiscated.

Early on March 15 we were taken to the Zhanjiang airport and put on an airplane to Hong Kong. Upon arrival in Hong Kong we went directly to the U.S. Consulate General to inform our government of this incident. Since that time, after formal requests for the return of our film, no positive results have come about.

We submit this statement hoping it will help in the restitution of our film and the creation of renewed good relations.

Dear Henry:

Senators Christopher Dodd, Joseph Lieberman, and Congressman Christopher Shays are requesting the United States Army to upgrade my Silver Star to the Medal of Honor, but I truly need your help **because you, Sir, are the famous Railsplitter**. Even the most junior Pentagon clerk will recognize your name.

I fully realize that you were at Division when these events occurred, but the sworn affidavits tell the story. I trust you'll remember Dale Walker, Mike Seeley, and Ed Ries (see the enclosed photo).

Henry, our original C.O., Theodore Ketterer Jr., was relieved of his command one afternoon during a firefight in The Battle of the Bulge. Our second C.O., Harold Haaseth, a fine officer, was KIA within a week.

Our third and final Company Commander, Dean A. Gantenbein, was the bravest officer I saw in WW2. Captain Gantenbein's affidavit is explicit. The problem is to get this Army packet to the right people.

Will you, please, have Ms. Suzanne S. McFarlane send this packet to the proper Pentagon authority? I will reimburse for phone calls, secretarial and mailing expenses, of course.

Thank you,

DOUGLAS A. BORA SR.

SILVER STAR UPGRADE TO THE MEDAL OF HONOR

Dear Henry:

Please accept my apology for asking this favor. I suspect
that you didn't see the original November 29th request.

The Army is talking about upgrading my Silver Star to the
Medal Of Honor, and has asked that I provide letters from
Army buddies. A few examples are enclosed. They're fine, but
<u>you are the famous Railsplitter!</u>

I was the kid who delivered the Pentagon lectures on
Saturday mornings in the Company G Day Room at Claiborne.
The only time we've seen each other in the past 52 years was
in the Dirksen Building just after you'd addressed the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee in summer, 1974.

You were exhausted from the "Shuttle Diplomacy" venture; so,
I invited you and your wife here for a restful week-end in
Rowayton. You couldn't accept the invitation, unfortunately.

A proposed affidavit is enclosed. Thanks for considering my
request.

Respectfully,

Douglas A. Bora Sr.

Re: Co.G; 335th Regt.; 84th Division

DEC 0 5 1996

Dear Henry:

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

In spite of the aches and pains of age, this Thanksgiving was a "little bit better" than the one in Gereonsweiler, Germany, 1944. At 2300 hours we were served cold, greasy, tasteless turkey, swimming in mashed, ersatz potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, and coffee. Hey, don't knock it! The coffee wasn't bad. And the 88's provided the proper background music.

I also always remember Christmas and New Year's Eves in the Bulge, the muddy, bloody, brutal WWI type warfare in the Siegfried Line, the Roer and Weser River D-Days, etc. How, and why, we survived, while our buddies did not, I still don't understand.

I have been officially notified that the United States Army is in the process of upgrading my Silver Star (photocopy enclosed) to the Congressional Medal of Honor. Have you ever wondered, or perhaps you know, why Railsplitters (14,000 originally and 12-14,000 replacements) did not receive the Medal of Honor? The answer is simple. Line Company officers were told it would be a waste of time to recommend it because General Bolling was not a West Pointer!

I don't think you know that I declined a direct West Point appointment from President Roosevelt in the summer of 1944. I was called back into Camp Claiborne from one of those delightful swamp problems, leaving all the coral, copperhead, water moccasin, and rattlesnakes, chiggers, heat rash, etc. to "y'all" for a day. To say I was surprised about the West Point appointment is my personal understatement of WWII. I'm not sure of the exact date, but I returned to the Company the morning that Flynn (nick-named "Errol") had his right hand blown off because some idiot had planted a trip-flare in the ground instead of in a tree. I've never known what happened to this nice kid.

[Lc]

November 29, 1996

Page Two/Three

On our return to Camp, I refused the appointment with, "I want to fight for my country, Sir." A division colonel "reamed-me-out-royally" for being so stupid. He was right! Please believe me, there were plenty of times in combat when I wished I were between clean sheets in a nice, warm bed at the Point.

Now, it seems the Army is willing to make amends for the discrimination: I was qualified to be a West Pointer, but unqualified to receive the Medal of Honor because my CG was not a West Pointer. If, in truth, the Medal of Honor is awarded, I will receive it proudly for all Railsplitters.

Reading through the pertinent section of Ted Draper's "The 84th Infantry Division in the Battle of Germany," I find no mention of Company G, but part of the story is outlined in "We Were The Line" on pages 143-146.

Before we left Korrenzig at/or "about 1400 February 24 . . .," the day after we crossed the Roer River, Dean briefed us that he'd asked Battalion to change the battle plan because it was "a suicide mission" as proposed. Battalion refused. This cost three KIA's and several WIA's! I led the column. Just after we crossed the bombed-out canal bridge, the only Signal Corps camera man I ever saw in combat suddenly appeared, ordering me to re-cross the bridge. Have you ever seen this film? I have not. I was then instructed that Paul Myers, the Second Squad Leader, would take over the lead, followed by Worley Wilson's Third Squad. I was to be in support.

This next part is very painful - albeit fifty-one years later. As Paul passed me, he said, "I'm going to be killed today." I, gently (I hope!), kicked his butt with, "Come on. It's your turn!" He took his kids over the forward slope of that stupid hill, and was completely pinned-down ("fixed-in-position," to quote the Army) when he reached the swampy area. When Worley came by, he said the exact same thing. He had not heard Paul's foreshadowing comment. How did my trusted friends both know? (I had given those two kids their last hair cuts and I was one lousy barber!)

Rigidly pinned down for two hours at the "military crest of the hill," I directed the mortar fire. Every time I raised my Walkie-Talkie aerial off the grass to transmit, the bullets were zinging and snapping above and around me. Brings back horrible memories, doesn't it? How I survived, only God knows.

Worley and the brand-new replacement (Ike, they were *not* reinforcements!), both 20-30 feet ahead of me, hadn't answered for some time, and, when their bodies began to steam, I reported them as KIA's to Dean, asking permission to order everyone to the woods on the left flank. He agreed. I vaguely recall a slightly wounded Lieutenant Lewis crossing in front of me, but I have total recall about somebody else. Running three or four

feet in front of my position, this kid's helmet fell off. He stopped, and asked, "Sergeant, shall I come back and get it?" "No, god dammit, you're drawing fire. Run for the bloody woods!" He didn't obey. As he stooped to retrieve his metal p.pot, he was shot in the right arm, spun around, and shot in the left arm. After these two "million dollar wounds," he made it to the woods okay. I think he was Leaman J. Dixon. He came back to us after V-E Day. Is he still alive? Do you have his address?

The Silver Star citation says that I "silenced" the mortar battery. Well, it was a bit more complicated than that because I first had to "silence" the damned machine gun! You may recall that as I approached our lines on the railroad tracks with my nine Nazi P.O.W.'s, I yelled our eternal password, "Thin skin. Doug Bora coming in with nine prisoners. Hold your fire!"

I'm going to complete these several Army documents, but I need your help because they want verification from buddies. As I understand the instructions, your letter should be addressed: To Whom It May Concern: I'm not sure it has to be typed, but if you hire someone to type it, I will reimburse. It must be notarized. Again, I'll reimburse you. Please include your rank, A.S.N.#, and decorations. Then send it to me in the enclosed, stamped, self-addressed envelope.

My late E Company friend became president of the Railsplitter Society, allowing him to know our beloved General on an intimate basis. Dave said that two things bothered General Bolling until the day he died of cancer: one, he always kept the number of KIA's in his wallet; and, two, it annoyed him that his Railsplitters couldn't receive the Medal of Honor because of Army politics. I spent seven years as an officer in the Connecticut Guard, and I can assure you that wearing a uniform does not preclude politics!

General Bolling told Paul's mother that I was his best friend. It was the most difficult letter of my life. Thought you might like to read her reply. No, I never told her *how* he died.

The late Len Holmes, a super guy, and I were on the original "Reunion on the Roer Tour" in 1979. (There were 250 of us.) It was quite an experience visiting "our" battlefields. The enclosed H.M.S. photo is from that tour.

This Richardson tale may produce a smile to an otherwise somber request. Do you know what happened to him?

Thanks for your help,

PRIVATE FIRST CLASS DOUGLAS A. BORA
UNITED STATES ARMY

for gallantry in action:

Private First Class Douglas A. Bora distinguished himself by gallantry in action on 24 February 1945 near Rurich, Germany. Private Bora, an acting Staff Sergeant, was moving with his unit to assault with the intent of capturing the town of Doveren, Germany. While moving on the forward slope of a hill, Private Bora's platoon became fixed by an intense volume of fire. Disregarding his own safety, Private Bora directed counter-fire from his unit's mortars for two hours. Although his crew increased fire each time he lifted his radio to direct the counter-fire, Private Bora steadfastly maintained his position and ultimately rallied the remaining men to outflank the enemy and end the battle. That night as Company G was moving along a railroad track, a heavy barrage of enemy mortar-fire pinned the men in place. Private Bora, recognizing the immediate need for action, proceeded alone into the darkness, silenced the mortar battery and returned with nine enemy prisoners, thereby enabling his unit to proceed to the objective. Private Bora's conspicuous gallantry in action reflects great credit upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

please excuse me for responding so late to your kind letter from January 14, 1997.

I am very pleased indeed that your provisional agreement to be my special guest of honour at the DFB Congress has become a firm commitment! Venue and date are, as you have correctly stated, **Wiesbaden on October 23-24, 1998**, and my staff will provide you with the necessary details re: organisation, accommodation etc. in due course.

I would love to accept your proposal to meet at the 1998 World Cup in France, and that is irrespective of the German team's participation in the tournament ... (or am I being too cautious here?). Germany still have a long way to go, and in football you cannot take anything for granted. On the other hand, we really should be able to put Portugal, Northern Ireland, Ukraine, Albania and Armenia behind us, and it is re-assuring to know that your heart beats for the 1996 European Champions!

I wish you and your family all the best of success, along with harmony, contentedness and good health, for 1997, and remain

Dear Mr. Niersbach:

As suggested by Thomas Schnelka, I am addressing this to you.

At the request of Mr. Egidius Braun, Dr. Kissinger has
written the following "comment" about Germany's bid for the
2006 World Cup.

I am not sure in what form it should come to you - as a letter
from Dr. Kissinger or can it be just as I send it here?

"With Germany in the heart of Europe and soccer in the heart of every German, it is fitting that a country which embraces the game with such passion is bidding for World Cup 2006. I am proud as an American to have had a role in the outstanding World Cup we hosted in 1994 that drew the largest crowds of any previous sporting event in the United States. But I am also a son of the country of my birth, with a love for soccer that can only be genetic. I must admit that I would love to see the World Cup competition in Germany in 2006. Its stadiums are outstanding, its crowds knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and its organizers dedicated and efficient."

Re: Egidius Braun's request for a few lines about Germany's bid for the 2006 World Cup

I had a call from Braun's office further clarifying what they have requested. They do not want a serious endorsement - rather a "spontaneous", preferably a bit humorous few lines they can include on a page of comments by well-known people. This will be part of a publicity packet that will go to the FIFA selection committee (and no doubt others.)

How about something like:

With Germany in the heart of Europe and soccer in the heart of every German, it is fitting that a country which embraces the game with such passion is bidding for World Cup 2006. I am proud as an American to have had a role in the outstanding World Cup we hosted in 1994 that drew the largest crowds of any previous sporting event in the United States. I have also been thrilled by the power and grace displayed by the great national teams of many countries, each one playing in its own defining style. But I am also a son of the country of my birth, with a love for football, soccer that can only be genetic. I must admit that I would love to see the World Cup competition in Germany in 2006.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

we all know that you are not only a great fan of the German national team, but also a long-standing football lover and connoisseur. (Or should I have said: Despite being a football lover and connoisseur, you are a great fan of....)

But, joking apart, I was truly happy to witness your steadfast support for "our" team when we last met in London during EURO 96. I was very glad and proud to receive your signs of friendship and personal affection, not least in your letter of congratulation after the event.

You may have heard that the DFB will host, on behalf of UEFA, this year's Champions League final in the Munich "Olympiastadion" on 28th May, 1997. As an expression of the great esteem in which you are held here, may I formally invite you and your wife, also on behalf of UEFA-President Lennart Johansson, to come to the Bavarian capital.

We have planned the following programme:

**Sunday, 25-05-1997, 19h00**
I wish to invite a small circle of friends to a typically "Bavarian night", with beer, sausages, music and inspiring conversation

**Monday, 26-05-1997**
Lunch at the invitation of the Lord Mayor of Munich, in the Munich Rathaus.

**Tuesday, 27-05-1997**
At 17h30, the DFB will hold a reception in the newly renovated *Prinzregententheater* to officially introduce and present its bid for the 2006 FIFA World Cup to the international media.

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

I am afraid that's not all: May I ask you a very special favour?

Concerning the media presentation of the DFB's bid, we intend to prepare a supporting brochure that summarises the key aspects. Our very concrete question to you is, would you be ready and willing to contribute an article featuring some of the arguments that speak for the 2006 World Cup in a reunited Germany?

You know this country, you are fully conversant with German football, you know Germany's standing in the world, and you are aware of the immensely positive echo that such an event produces. In short: I consider you the ideal person to come forward with such a statement.

I am eagerly looking forward to hearing from you in the near future, and remain

Dear Dr. Kissinger,

GESOMT G. 02

HENRY A. KISSINGER

August 20, 1997

Dear Percy:

Over the past several years Brazil has begun a remarkable transformation, from economic stagnation and hyperinflation to financial stability, growth, and rapid modernization. The government of President Fernando Henrique Cardoso is privatizing, deregulating, and lowering both internal and external barriers to competition. In the process enormous economic opportunities are being created, for Brazilians as well as for their international partners.

Opportunities are inevitably accompanied by challenges. President Cardoso has told me he believes that benefiting from, rather than being overwhelmed by globalization is one of the greatest challenges Brazil now faces. He believes that, if the country is to realize its potential to be one of the most important players in the twenty-first century, how Brazil interacts with the world economy needs to be reexamined.

To help accomplish this, the President has asked me and a former colleague of mine, Alan Stoga, to help bring together a small group of leading international businessmen who would meet informally once or twice a year with him and key members of his cabinet. The meetings would be an occasion for the Brazilians to explain their perceptions and their strategies, and to benefit from whatever insights and observations we might offer. The President's basic idea seems to be that the business leaders would get a better sense of what Brazil is and where it is going, while the Brazilians would benefit from the candid observations of businessmen who have extensive international operating experience. I enclose a copy of his letter to me describing what he has in mind.

On President Cardoso's behalf, I would like to invite you to participate in this group.

We are now trying to organize the first meeting, to be held in Brasilia on October 8. The day will begin with a series of meetings and discussions with Finance Minister Pedro Malan and the rest of the economic team, with the Foreign Minister, and with one or two of the key domestic ministers, to be followed by a working lunch with President Cardoso. The lunch will be attended only by the President to encourage candor, informality, and dialogue. After lunch we may meet with several of the key Congressional leaders. There is a possibility of dinner, in Sao Paulo, with a small group of leading Brazilian businessmen depending on the degree of interest and availability of our group.

Dear Henry

As we discussed over lunch several months ago, Brazil's economic development is progressing well. The economy is growing; inflation remains under control; we are privatizing significant enterprises and deregulating others; we are reforming the budget; our companies are becoming more competitive; and we are creating jobs. In short, the Brazilian economy is undergoing a profound transformation.

Two aspects of these developments deserve attention. First, I think we need to make more of an effort to assure that what we are doing is well understood by our international partners, including those in the private sector. Second, I think we need to stress the change in Brazil's insertion into the world economy, which is to proceed at even more rapid pace in the future.

I welcome your assistance on these issues. In particular, I appreciate your participation in the gathering of an informal group of international business leaders who will meet periodically to discuss Brazil's prospects and opportunities. Your broad international experience will be extremely helpful in such an effort.

As you know, I hope to schedule the first of these meetings in Brasília on October 8. I look forward to seeing you then.

Sincerely yours

FERNANDO HENRIQUE CARDOSO
Presidente da República Federativa do Brasil

HAK:

Your letter to the Art Institute of Chicago
apparently cemented the show, and now the
only unconfirmed venue for the Polish exhibit
is the Brooklyn Museum.

I have drafted a similar letter.

You are also invited to join the Honorary
Committee for the touring show, along with
Brzezinski, US Amb. Rey and Polish Amb.
Kozminski. Nothing is required.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I am delighted to report to you that the Art Institute of Chicago has confirmed their important position on our museum tour of "Land of the Winged Horsemen: ART IN POLAND, 1572-1764" exhibition. I am indebted to you for sending a note of support for the project to Mr. Jim Wood, Director of the Art Institute of Chicago. He communicated to me that he was sincerely moved by your endorsement, and I am certain that this was instrumental in his final decision.

There remains only one additional unconfirmed venue on the tour -- and it is the Brooklyn Museum. This, too, would be a superb venue for the exhibition, and I write you today to kindly ask if you would send a letter similar to the Chicago letter (written in late July) to Arnold Lehman, Director of the Brooklyn Museum. His address is:

Brooklyn Museum
200 Eastern Parkway
Brooklyn, NY 11238

Phone: 718-638-5000
Fax: 718-638-3731

I feel confident that this would result in the confirmation of this New York City venue. The excellent itinerary of this exciting exhibition is attached.

I am, further, eager to learn if you will accept our invitation to serve on the Honorary Committee for the exhibition. The Committee is composed of Dr. Bzigniew Brzezinski; Nicholas A. Rey, US Ambassador to Poland; and Jerzy Kozminski, Ambassador of Poland. While an Honorary Committee, and one that does not require any active participation on your part, your key presence on the Committee would be invaluable in confirming the significance of the project. The Honorary Committee will be recognized in the scholarly all-color catalogue which will accompany this exhibition and will, of course, receive invitations to all openings along the tour. Your presence at these openings would, we fully understand, be contingent upon your schedule -- but you would be a most honored guest if you could attend.

I thank you, in advance, for your kind assistance with an endorsement of this

Dear "Brother" Henry:

The Horatio Alger Class Members of 1992, are very special people to me. It is almost like an extended family.

To have received the Horatio Alger Award in 1992, other than my wife and daughter's, was **certainly the highlight** of my personal life.

I thought you might be interested in what we have just accomplished here in our
Company. I know it is not anywhere near the size of transactions that you do, but I
wanted to share it with you, because it's plenty exciting for our Company, and our
10,000 members of the Stater Bros. "Family" of Employees.

I look forward to seeing you whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Kindest personal regards,

Jack

Talk at Peter Glenville's Memorial Service, June 3, 1997

Fernanda Eberstadt

I first met Peter, who was to become my heart's darling, over lunch at Mortimer's in 1979. It was NOT love at first sight, at least not in Peter's sight. Peter later told me, "I thought you were an affected little chit. You were wearing a tiny pill-box hat tilted to one side, and you were altogether too pleased with herself." As you may remember, Peter didn't mince words.

Nonetheless, we got to be fast, fast friends--in fact, Peter became my hero. I discovered that his terrifying honesty was equalled only by his total-knock-out humor--he was one of those rare people for whom the worse things get the funnier they become-and that his spirit of mockery was equalled only by his sunny sweetness.

Peter, I learned over two decades' of lunches, dinners, visits to Mexico, was the most staunchly good person on earth. His "goodness" had no naivete or namby-pambiness in it: his was a hugely vigorous, acerbic, almost brutally rousing brand of goodness--a goodness that was the very hard-won fruit of a stormy upbringing, strong religion, and considerable worldly wisdom. I liked to pump Peter for stories of his pantomime parents and his early childhood, because I wanted to know how he became himself. His memories, which he delivered with stoical wit, were often pretty Dickensian. And yet somehow the roughness and the sufferings of his upbringing created in him a commanding will and that radiant lovingheartedness we all thrived on.

I always thought Peter had the character of an early saint:

[10]

He knew his own mind and he didn't seem to be afraid of anything.
If he had lived in 12th century Burgundy, he might have founded a
religious order and fought with popes and mobilized a Crusade--
which I guess was the mediaeval equivalent of directing Hollywood
movies. But Peter also had the rare serenity to stop: to devote his
later life to the arts of peace: books, travel, his house and
garden, and above all friendship.

Peter was so right in his own skin that it seemed to be
impossible for him not to enter into right relations with everybody
he met. You came away from Peter and Bill floating--feeling
uplifted and healed by their affection, their merriment, their
curiosity about human oddities, the catching warmth of their long
happiness together. That Peter was such a brave, kind, brilliant
man was the result of his own fierce will: that he was a happy man
and brought happiness to all of us says even more about his beloved
friend and our beloved friend Bill Smith, in whom Peter lives.
