I've seen pics of you at his 87 announcement , and in the CSPAN video his sister Val introduced you and the other six or so US Reps, int the front row at Wilmington Train depot. Sen Inouye spoke ("I left Fawn Hall to be here with Joe Biden" was the sound bite) I'm curious how you picked Biden when candidates included a then current US REP (Gephardt ho had lots of colleague support) and two former US Reps who were then n Senate (Gore and Simon ). Granted Gep. and Gore were a bit centrist for an OR Dem, but Simon was liberal, and a native Oregonian.
Good question, Grant. (Thanks for subscribing; I'll try to make it relevant.) To answer, Joe and I became friends in my first ('74) US House election. That made the difference. He went on to campaign for my reelection twice in my then-battleground district. Good to hear from you. Hope you're doing well.
I like idea of an anthem for Joe’s campaign and Do You Hear the People Sing is good, much better than I Dreamed a Dream.
Thanks, Pal!
