I know he appreciated having a long discussion with you. It meant a lot to him that you would take the time to do that, not just for the sake of an audience, but for the sake of brass tacks. I know he was able to discuss some stuff with you that a lot of guys won't do. Can't speak for him, but I think he respects you more after that. Wish I could have been there.

P.S. Who did your portrait? It's pretty good.
