I worked for a neighbor who was running for mayor. I recruited some other girls my age to hand out campaign literature in the park.

I can remember watching the conventions when I was in elementary school!

I really got hooked after I heard Hubert Humphrey speak when I was in high school. I saw Robert Kennedy speak in 1968 (although I was for McCarthy). I couldn't vote until 1972 when I voted for McGovern.

Today's party has little resemblance to the progressives I supported, but I am a life-long democrat and I'm not going anywhere else. They can carve a donkey on my tombstone!
