In the Fairmont? The Swig family were long time owners.
I had a superb fillet mignon in the gold ballroom there. It was a fund raiser
for the National Conference of Christians
and Jews (I was just a corporate hanger on spouse. Way above my social and
financial grade.)
Ben Swig's son, whose name I don't recall at the moment, was impressing the
folks with better than fund raiser food. I
think the heavy silverplate fork would almost cut through the meat from its own
weight.
Odd meeting. For whatever reason, Carter's HUD Secretary, Patricia Harris, a
very liberal, black, woman, was the
speaker. She and her speech had the audience of corporate CEOs and such
squirming uncomfortably in their seats.
