to Dewey and his campaign in 1948. Travelled with the campaign. When I found that out I kept on saying they had to hire someone to get the mother's story. That would have been incredibly interesting. I only ever heard snippets, alas. The mom lived well in to her 90's and I believe was pretty sharp up to the end.

Some stories should not be lost.
