In reply to the discussion: Saw Gov. Tim Walz this morning at my husband's Memorial. [View all]IrishBubbaLiberal
(2,545 posts)11. When I was in college in St Paul......
A long time ago
.
When I was a college student in St Paul, St Thomas
.
I went to listen to Walter Mondale speak to college students at St Thomas,
He had just left office as VP,, so it must of been in 1981
Mondale gave his speech, and took questions from students for awhile,,
And then we could after he answered those questions,,, walk up
and shake his hand..
I will never forget as Mondale shook my hand
.he looked surprised at
the college VP button I was wearing
Tom Hauser for VP,,
Mondale laughed and said to me Why would anyone run for VP!
I told Mondale that its was a Frat buddy running for student office.
(on 2nd thought maybe it was Tom Hausers brother for VP)

Phil Castrovinci, and his family, are best kind of example of what Democrats should be.
