On the recordMarch 8, 1995
I join many friends of the Mikva family in welcoming Rabbi Rachel. The Mikva family and my family became friends many years ago when they first came to Washington. We lived in the same neighborhood. Little Rachel and our youngest daughter, Lori, became very good friends, schoolmates. I can recall and I can recommend it to about 350 high school kids here this morning, when they would come to visit their fathers. Rachel would sit on this side of the aisle, on the center aisle, and our daughter, Lori, on the other side, and just stare at each other, good friends at home and in school, but they became very competitive here. So we always remember that little Rachel, so proud today as we join the Mikva family and their grandchildren and welcome Rachel. We thank her for joining us today.
