Thank God for your safety, and the Presidents, following yesterdays tragic
events. California was never like this?
11 your friends are praying, and crossing their fingers, for the momentous
objectives that we all stand for in our nation. All my 3 M friends and the
many friends in California wish you ell. We are all impressed with the
efforts that the California Presidential team is accomplishing in Washington.
As an observer of your personal nimbleness, as shown in N.B.C. coverage,
when the shots were fired, I would almost believe, Mike, that you should
run for office.
Mike, if I can be of any political, or personal help to you--with no
strings attached, or selfish motive, please call on me. I always
remember good piano players.
Best personal regards to you and. your wife.

Dear mike
altho we really never knew each other all that well at
AEP, I have noted with Some interest your activities through
the media throughout the years from the glass door incident in
Mexico to the tragic events of the past several days.
I would like you to know how truly pleased ( was to find
out that you were not injured in the shooting and felt very
Strongly that ( wanted to express this thought to you.
this next thought may really seem Strange and quite unbelievalle,
but I was aware that you were in Some personal danger but hositated
to contact you for all of the obvious reasons. d the last two years
( have become aware of a psychic gift and, as result, have been
giving psychic reading (and Deemingly quite accurate ones too!) #
is not important to me that you believe this, or even believe in
psychic reading in general, but ( wanted you to know that your
rde in the government is So important that it was no mistale that
you personally avoided any personal danger.
Now
I have hesitated to write this because I know how "kooky"
this whole concept can Sound (and how it can be misunderstood) but
I felt you would unkerstand and may be appreciate knowing that
Someone "out there" is suppative of your effats.
Additionly, I feel that someone will try to undermine your
authority in June and that you might le alet to this. also,
you might experience a discomfort in your lower left side but
( dont see a long range problem.
1 trust you will not misunderstand my intentions in writing
you this note and hope that you dont think that I have flipod out
and label me as a "weirdo", but as one who "browned out" with
you bach i- the good old days, I wanted you to know that I
truly cared.

Dear Mike:
My heart was in my mouth as I watched
you successfully ducking away from the assassin's bullets
in a film clip run innumerable times on our local TV.
Surely the Lord was with you, and with
The President and those that survived those awful moments,
but you were specially favored.
May your luck and faith continue
steadfast in your important office, without such hazards!
