The man smiled. "I've known you for a very long time, as it turns out.
I guess you could say we were both there when Dirk was created."
"My memory is slipping," said the senator, at a loss.
"Were you my wife's obstetrician?"
"No, nothing like that." The stranger finished off his drink and set the glass on the bar. "I wish you the
best of luck on having your programs passed by Congress."
"Please forgive me, sir, but I can't seem to recall your name."
"In your position you meet too many people to remember them all," The stranger paused to glance at
his watch. "Nice talking to you, Senator, but I'm afraid I must move on."
There were two more guests the gray-haired man wished to meet. He found one of them sitting in the
rear seat of a 1932 Stutz DV-32 town car. Of all the ladies, Congresswoman Loren Smith was the
gray-haired man's favorite. He reveled in her incredible violet eyes and long cinnamon hair tastefully
styled in a Grecian coiffure. Loren was exquisitely proportioned with broad shoulders and long legs. She
possessed an air of breezy sophistication, yet one could sense a tom boyish daring behind her eyes.
The uninvited guest leaned in the open door. "Good evening, Loren.
You look pensive."
She tilted her head, unconcerned that an apparent stranger had used her first name and not referred to
her as Congresswoman. She flashed a disarming smile and stared at him.
