Carpenter received a handwritten letter from Former President Richard Nixon
on February 22, 1983, recalling their appearance at the White House ten
years earlier. "I remember how impressed I was with her vivacious and captivating warmth. The two of you were a great team and provided a sharp contrast to some of the groups in the Seventies who professed to be musical artists. I know how much you and her family will miss her but just remember that for millions of her fans she left only pleasant memories". |
