Thank you so much for that wonderful article you wrote about my father. I'm SO glad Rich was inspired to contact you, and put the release of this story in your hands. It was written beautifully, and could not have been finer. We were able to watch a bit of Rock last night. You did a great job on that as well. Appreciate your willingness to work on your vacation!
Sincerely, Amy Jo
Wednesday I got an email at 2:51 a.m. It was from a Mormon friend of mine Rich Hutchins. He works as a senior director in pharmaceutical advances for oncology at Pfizer’s research and development headquarters in Groton, Connecticut. Rich and I are the same age and we both think sleep is overrated.
His email informed me that his father Ken Hutchins had been chosen by Mitt Romney to give the invocation on the final day of the Republican National Convention. There has been tremendous speculation about the unnamed Mormon that Mitt had chosen to say the prayer. Rich asked me if I wanted to break the news.
This was an easy call. You see, Ken Hutchins was my ecclesiastical leader in Boston when I was in graduate school and law school. No religious leader has done more to shape my character and make me a better husband and father than Ken Hutchins.
So yesterday I took a vacation from my vacation to write a story about Ken Hutchins. It was pretty interesting trying to write a breaking news story while trying to kayak with my kids on Long Island Sound.
