28. A little history lesson:

Sep 2015

My parents and one of their good friends, who I knew, told me this story.

They were all standing in line in 1948, to vote for Truman, and they were all saying, "We know Harry's not gonna win, but we're voting for him anyway!" Harry was a real salt-of-the-earth Democrat.

The friend of theirs was a lady born in 1901 that I considered to be my second grandmother.
