to meet her, just a really nice person, who cares about her country and her family. She's a Capricorn too, lovely hard working people.

(20,906 posts)When she came to Rochester to stump for Barack. My husband and I, along with a friend, volunteered to help out at the Mayo Civic Arena ushering people and Journalists in to where she would speak. We had reserved seats in the front by her podium. The speech was at Noon, we were there by 7:30 am.
After she spoke, she came by to shake hands. I mentioned to her how moved I was by her DNC speech when she spoke of her father. I said mine was like that as well. She gave me a hug. She also found out that Igor Vokivinsky was there and requested an audience and photo with him. Igor wore a shirt that read...WORLD'S TALLEST OBAMA SUPPORTER. Igor was 7'8" tall.
I will never forget that day and seeing this wonderful woman up close and personal. She, along with Barack, are National treasures.
