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 it’s was a Frat buddy running for student office.

(on 2nd thought maybe it was Tom Hauser’s brother for VP)
