Hunt,

The obvious horrible circumstances aside, I was grateful to have had the
chance to spend the few moments that we spent together at Beau's wake; it
meant a lot to me to see you and to personally express my condolences to
you and your family.  I also want to let you know how touched I was, blown
away really, by your amazing tribute to your brother at the funeral.  The
entire ceremony was such a beautiful tribute and celebration of Beau and
his life.  I was so grateful to be able to see it, not to mention to know
that people that may not have known Beau could see and hear you and
everyone else that spoke, so that they could understand what kind of son,
father, brother, friend and public servant... what kind of person your
brother was.  I also wanted to take a moment to share something else with
you.  Beau's wake was the first time that I ever spoke with your father,
and as I was getting close to the front of the receiving line, I debated
taking a couple extra moments to thank him for his decades of service to
the people of Delaware and this country, but I decided against it in the
interest of time.  I wanted to thank him for living such an inspiring life
and for dedicating himself to public service and for being a living example
of the difference that one person can help make, for others.  For what it's
worth, I also want to share this thought... in spite of her own record of
decades of public service, Hillary Clinton simply does not inspire me the
way that your father does, and this doesn't have anything to do with the
fact that I went to school with you and Beau, but rather, it has to do with
how I see your father as a person, as a leader and as a public servant.
Inspiration has a lot to do with why and how your father and the president
got elected obviously, and I don't think there's any less need for
inspiration now.  I can only begin to imagine the calculus that your father
and your family must be going through weighing what's next, but please know
that you/your father have a volunteer in me, in Philadelphia, that will
throw himself into his campaign for president, should he decide to run.  I
imagine this may have been the longest two months of your life Hunt, and I
continue to pray for you and your whole family.

Warmest regards,
Frank
