Courtesy of Mike Schriner, here’s a recent blog post from his mother, Mary Jane Schriner, a freelance writer for the New York Times and published author who recently wrote a story for the paper recalling her friendship with Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.
The post shares that Steinbrenner asked Mary Jane to burn the letters he sent her way back when.
“As soon as we finished exchanging pleasantries George offered to buy me a cup of hot chocolate. The two of us sat at a small table in the back of deli and told amusing stories about our children’s escapades. Each us of us were careful not to mention our, long ago, relationship. We kept the conversation light and friendly until we were getting ready to go. Then, from out of nowhere, I startled George by announcing, ‘I still have all the letters you sent me.’Once George regained his composure a wonderful smile lit up his face and with a quick wink he said, ‘MJ burn them!’ And that’s what I intended to do when I got home but my day became unbelievably busy and I forgot.”
