Mumu’s 100th Birthday – Birthday wishes from the CIA

18 Nov 1998

Dear Mrs. Beaumont,

It gives me great pleasure to send you this greeting on the occasion of your 100th birthday.

As you know, at the CIA we think of ourselves as an extended family, and we feel a deep kinship to our former colleagues. We also feel deep gratitude to you and to all those who served in the early years of our Agency for passing down to us a legacy of excellence and achievement.

On behalf of your Agency family, I want to wish you and your family all the best.

Sincerely,

(hand-signed, not a stamp!)

George J Tenet

***** Until just a few years ago, Mr. Tenet was the Director of the CIA. This note, which was type-written (on a typewriter, not a computer) on a sheet of personal stationary, was sent via FedEx to her house along with the 8x10 of George J. Tenet pictured above.

She also received a call from the CIA at her 100th birthday party at 848 Atlanta Ct while the party was in full swing, but that is a story for another day.
