John,

I hope the holidays treated you and yours well.  Tom and Mike and their wives who live across from each other talked Tina and me into moving one house away from them and six grandchildren.  Moving in next week.  The Montgomery County version of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." 
Dennis Mehiel is a good friend of mine and Father Alex, a “patrioti”, great Democrat and very high-energy semi-retired quite successful businessman. He has known and been involved with both Clintons for some time.  He is also close to Governor Andrew Cuomo, who recently asked him to take on the difficult task of Chairman and CEO of the Battery Park City Authority on south end of Manhattan, Schumer, Gillibrand and virtually all other NY Democrats.

I think it would be very helpful if the two of you could get to know each other.  He has some excellent thoughts that could be good for Secretary Clinton that also involve CAP.  If you can find some time on your schedule this month I would appreciate it greatly.  He can meet at breakfast, evenings and weekends.  The only times he cannot meet in January are Tuesday the 13th, Wednesday the 21st and Tuesday the 27th.

                                                            Andy
