Brooklyn (US), Aug.1 (ANI): The woman whose 911 call set in motion this week's White House "beer summit", but who was not invited, has received a "beautiful" bouquet of flowers and a note of gratitude from Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr, but nothing from President Obama.

Lucia Whalen reported what appeared to her to be a break in to Gates's Cambridge, Mass. home.

Obama, Gates and police sergeant James Crowley met yesterday at the White House to talk about how to move on from the racially charged incident. (ANI)
