I'm thinking of old-timer Andy Stephenson as we contemplate the election mess.

6. I was talking about Andy just the other day.

I came across a letter he wrote, oh gosh, I can't remember the letter's date, but it way back when he was managing Subway.

I sat there blubbering like an old fool. It brought back so many memories, some of which I had forgotten about.

Rest in peace, my friend.

25. He is not forgotten. nt

[lapfog_1]

26. yes, I remember it well

and I remember those f'ng bastards that claimed he was scamming us with his fundrasier to fight his cancer (I contributed)...

Thanks for the reminder... and let's dedicate this election to his memory.

[tavernier]

27. Of course.

Andy was and still is a compass to our DU family, pointing the way to truth as we continue our American Experiment.

[alittlelark]

28. Yup

[Mister Ed]

29. It was the election-integrity struggle that first brought me to DU. n/t

[KT2000]

30. hand raised!

I have thought of him too. He worked so hard and so much ugliness was revealed - the woman who was in truth a repub and now likely a Qanon nut, the reams of vote tabulations lost or in the garbage so nothing could be verified, and of course the cruelty of the republicans who prevented his surgery. That whole episode is seared into my brain.

[livetohike]

31. Yes. I wish he was still with us. Maybe 2016 would have

turned out differently.

[Kid Berwyn]

32. A patriot.

Fought the Bush crime family fearlessly. Experienced all manner of abuse after someone revealed his identity. Then, he passed away in pain.

[woodsprite]

33. Yup, was just thinking about him the other day. nt

[salin]

34. Count me in.

We need his level of tenacity.

He still inspires.
