In 1958, Geary and his wife attended the First Communion party of Anthony Corleone. Geary publicly accepted a contribution in the name of Vito Corleone from Anthony's father Michael intended as a donation for the local public university. During his speech, he mispronounced Anthony's middle and last names, and misnames Michael's wife Kay for Pat, likely a reference to President Nixon's long-suffering wife Pat, whose life could be seen as analogous to Kay's. The movie would have been filmed as the Watergate scandal unfolded in 1973.
