Ronnie, with instincts left over from his lifeguard days, was always aware of who was in the pool and what was going on. At one swim party, I recall, we were standing at one end of the pool when all of a sudden, without a word to anybody, he took off, dove in with his clothes and watch on, and pulled out a little girl. He stood in the water afterward, in his golf shirt and khakis, as she caught her breath by the side of the pool. Until that moment, no one else had even noticed she was in trouble.

I really loved that house. We paid rent for it—which we wouldn’t have, of course, if we’d stayed in the governor’s mansion—but it was well worth it. Unlike the mansion, the house on Forty-fifth Street was the kind of place where we could have a real family life. Ron built a tree house in the backyard and had friends over all the time. Often, they’d play football, and when Ronnie came home from work, he’d change his clothes and play with them. He told me, not long after we moved into the house, that the first time he came home and saw all the bicycles lined up out front, he knew that we’d made the right decision.And that, of course, made me very happy, because I felt I’d gone out on a limb in insisting we move out of the mansion.
