Glenn was doing the editorial work at that time on Nancy's book With a Lot of Help from Our Friends, which came out in 2003. Nancy left Washington D.C. after her retirement and returned to Kingston, where she had been brought up as a child. It is a little town of 6,800 right across the Susquehanna river from Wilkes-Barre.
