I am reminded of that famous quotation by St. Augustine: “give candy cigarettes to people and they act like total goofballs,” or was it “Thanks to a great committee for a great party!”

Who would have thought we could have so much fun with candy cigarettes? The food, libations, company, and ambiance were excellent. Kudos to the committee for a fun & memorable evening. Peter & Mark were great train hosts, but it was probably wise to skip the trivia game, given the noise/fun level. But how about sharing those questions now? On the train ride back downtown Tom Catani googled the Drapers’ daughters name (Sally) for us.

Thanks, (I think) for memorializing this great journey to the Don Draper era. Everyone had a great time. Mikey is a most excellent cat/. What does that Surgeon General know anyway!
