[Ferret Annica]

43. I moved to Oregon from the East in 1972 and was at a home trying to get a ride to see McGovern

In Portland who was there Oct 13th. The folks there eventually became good friends and were owners of lots of property in my new city and extremely active in Democratic party politics locally at a very high level; though I didn't know that at the time.

There was an older guy who showed up and sat in the living room with me while i waited for word from the sone of the couple living there to find out if there was room for me with them or someone to go to Portland.

We talked for 15-20 minutes and he was in his 60s or 70s but anything but condescending, was very sharp and had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed the talk a great deal and after he left with the Mom of the guy who eventually became a dear friend who is my age I mentioned this.

I asked who he was and was told, "You don't know who that is? Why, that was the Senator."

"The Senator?" I echoed back blankly.

"You never heard of Senator Wayne Morse?" he said.

Wayne was running against Mark Hatfield that year and eventually lost. He was trying to regain the Senate after Bob Packwood had unseated him in 1968.

That was one bright spot of that horrible year for me. I always vector to pass his statue at the Lane County Courthouse in the Wayne Morse free speech center if I an walking near there. I got to talk to him a couple more times after that first meeting, and he has made a lasting impression on me.
