Happy birthday mom. No we won’t stop celebrating it. @AnnCompton

[Bill Hughes @BillHughesDC]

He’s the type of reporter they just don’t make anymore. That none of these orgs would hire anymore. That we really need right now. RIP.

@ron_fournier I know. Hang in there, friend.

[Ann Compton @AnnCompton]

@ron_fournier You have been a heroic Detroit supporter. And you are an exceptional journalist and Dad. But my four kids - now Dads and spread across the country - still rally long distance for games like
This. See you on the other side of halftime, friend.

[Ann Compton @AnnCompton]

@ron_fournier Oh, Ron.

@joshgerstein @BillHughesDC N.B. I was 26 when I was assigned to the White House for ABC. I just stuck around longer than Josh.

[Josh Gerstein @joshgerstein]

@BillHughesDC @AnnCompton Directly? 26 'til 31. Now I use phrases like 'Back in the day....' and tell kids to get off my lawn

I learned #btc100k from my mom @AnnCompton who was babysitting her grandkids. This is her covering the White House as a reporter during the Carter Administration. She started her job as White House Correspondent 50 years ago last Monday.

That young lady from the 1970s in the fur coat (awesome), who used a typewriter to write her stories for 20 years, was the one telling me Bitcoin broke 100k. Shes been a HODLer for a while now.

FEW.

23 years. It seems forever ago in some ways too. Sitting on my college dorm room couch in Nashville, wondering whether Mom was at the White House and then finding out she was on Air Force One. I breathed a sigh of relief. Cc @AnnCompton
