Novelist James Michener was once invited to dinner at the White House with President Dwight D Eisenhower. Michener graciously declined the invitation in this letter: “I received your invitation three days after I had agreed to speak a few words at a dinner honoring the wonderful high school teacher who taught me how to write. I know you will not miss me at your dinner, but she might at hers. In his lifetime, a man lives under fifteen or sixteen presidents, but a really fine teacher comes into his life but rarely.”
According to the story, Eisenhower wrote back to say that he understood perfectly.
