I went to the Irish Fair in Coney Island last weekend. I brought my dog, RUFFY, with me and as we listened to the marvellous Irish bands we met MAYOR BLOOMBERG who was with his friend Diane who looks very beautiful in person. He said he was hungry, so I got him a frankfurter, and sure enough, he ate it. Then his photographer took a photo of the Mayor, Ruffy and me. I already have two other photos of me and the mayor, but this is a real treat with Ruffy.

I was at the 100th birthday party for the ANSONIA residence on West 73 Street who has had LEONARD BERNSTEIN as a tenant, and where BETTE MIDLER sang in its continental baths. The afternoon was filled with entertainment champagne and birthday cake. Among the wonderful singers was Suk Soon Kim, who with her husband, Ned Macomb, represented the USA in Egypt as part of the State Department. They had met a friend of MRS ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, who invited them to lunch with her in New York. And with one phone call, Mrs. Roosevelt picked up the phone and got them an appointment in Washington and off they went. Suk will be singing in Paris this Spring.
