Holiday Luncheon 2005
Dear Friends,
Friday was our annual celebration of the season, on stage in  Valencia at
crew lunch.  Because of the hectic filming schedule, lunch was  at 5:00 pm, so we
arrived early to say hello to as many as we could before they  had to eat and
return to the set.
Sara and the production office was first; our production  coordinator also
held that position at "JAG" for many years, and it's always fun  to visit an old
friend.  She was surrounded by gift packages (haven't  opened mine yet, from
the producers and the cast) and slowly everyone started to  drift in, back
from local location.
Tony! I yelled at Michael and laughed, "I've been on this show  too long! The
fans have a question I promised to ask:  Does Gibbs really  hit you...?"
"Yes," he answered.  "But I'll let you in on a  secret:  between Season One and
Season Three, he doesn't hit as hard in  rehearsals any more."
Sean walked in, looking handsome and happy.  We  congratulated him on his
recent wedding and asked if he'd heard from the  foks.  (Don and Viv are on a
well-deserved vacation, as we both  agreed.)
Rehearsal for the next scene was called, so we decided to go  to my favorite
place:  wardrobe.  (Second favorite:  Saks is  first.)  Walking across the
lot, I heard my name called.  It was Cote,  who embraced me in a warm welcome.
(I had only met her once before, in  July when she filmed her first scene on
the back lot of Universal Studios.   How special of her to remember me.)
We had to walk through the Squad Room stage, where the cast  was rehearsing,
to get to wardrobe.  Mark, who had greeted us earlier,  offered me his
Director's Chair so I could watch through the open door.  At  a break, Suzanne, our
Script Supervisor, was kind enough to lead us through the  maze to the new digs
for costumes, since we had to give up our old  space.
We said a hasty hello to Paul Dafelmair, our Costume  Supervisor, who always
answered my "JAG" questions, and always seems to be in a  hurry (no wonder;
lotsa people to clothe).  We greeted Rachel, Women's  Costume Supervisor, who
answers the questions you all have re Ziva's outfits and  Abby's t-shirts, and
ooh'd and aah'd at all her feminine goodies (a wonderful  carpet bag, a
marvelous tapestry coat...gotta go back soon).  We were  interrupted by another
greeting from Mark and I suddenly remembered I had  brought a photo we had taken
together during the first season's lunch.  I  asked him to sign it for me.
I offered him a pen, but he insisted on using a "special"  one.  "With the
disappearing ink?" I teased.  He rummaged through a  drawer and finally found
it; he seemed to be writing a long time.  When he  handed it back, he had
written "For Harriet, A pleasure working with you on this  one -- and...."  followed
by a slightly naughty remark.  I think I'll  keep it to myself...for a while.
Don't ask; I won't tell...yet.   Nothing terrible, just terribly cute.  I
just don't trust the internet, you  know how things get blown out of proportion.
Stage 5 was beautifully decorated, with lighted Christmas  trees, a colorful
winter scene mural and a large red and gold chair for Santa,  who came to
greet the children who seemed to be everywhere.  A group of  merrily clothed
choralers assembled to serenade us with appropriate Christmas  carols.
And the caterers, who cooked the special meal, as always  outdid themselves.
Everyone we knew from the past and present seemed to be  there, stopping by
our table as we shared what had happened since last we met,  in some cases,
since last year.  Since we decided to leave before the rest  of the cast was due,
because of their late evening call times, we didn't get a  chance to see
everyone.  But the good news is:  we have a lot more  episodes to film.
Time goes too quickly, and it gets dark too soon during  winter, so we left
to confront the freeway once more, Rosemary who is always so  kind to drive and
myself,   Everyone said we don't come to the set  often enough, and with such
warm welcomes, their words are like a siren  song.  I have one more promise
to keep, so it won't be too long, and I'll  be happy to let you know about it
soon.
Wishing all good things to you and your families in the  coming New Year,
Best, Harriet
