Your friend and sister,

Helena Peabody

PS – Wilson simply adores his aunt Bette. “She’s really cool.”

Bette: I’ve seen it all now.

Bette decides to pen a quick note to Helena.

Dear Helena,

Thanks for the congratulations and for your suggestion of Ingrid to help us through that process. Our relationship has had a rather circuitous path. Wouldn’t Franklin just die knowing how close we’ve become! Peggy is special and I’m thrilled to live so close to her now and to have the opportunity to really build a relationship with her. Angelica is quite smitten with Grandma Peggy and I can see a troublesome team there in the future. They say you only get one mother. Thankfully I’m getting a second shot. I look forward to building our sisterhood. By the way, Wilson “rocks”!

Mandy: Arthur is bringing our guests up now.

Bette: Great, is everyone else in the conference room?

Mandy: Everyone is in place.

Bette heads to the elevator to wait for Arthur to arrive with the guests.

Bette: Good morning and welcome to the Whitney.

Chad: Good morning Bette, it so nice to finally meet you, I’m Chad.

Teresa: Hello, I’m Teresa Nelson, Marketing for Disney.

Theo: Hello, I’m Theo Turner, an Imagineer for Disney.

Bette: Nice to meet you all and thank you for squeezing us in on this trip. The rest of our team is waiting in the conference room just down the hall. We’ll pass right by the ladies and men’s rooms on the way. We can certainly take a moment before we start.

Chad: I’m fine now, but will probably stop before we head on the tour.

Theo and Teresa echo Chad’s comment. They continue to the conference room and everyone grabs coffee and a bit to eat as they settle into their seats.

Bette: Given that this is what we hope is the start of a long working relationship I thought we’d have some fun with the introductions part of the agenda and do an ice breaker exercise. Each of us can share what was either the first or worst job we’ve ever had. Any volunteers to start?

Mark: I’ll start with my first job. I helped my Dad build a float for the Macy’s Day parade. I was hooked on this kind of construction from that point on.
