Got to spend 5 minutes alone with Hillary before the Wellesley speech.

Last edited Fri May 26, 2017, 09:29 PM - Edit history (1)

Well, hubby and I, and Huma Abedin hovering in a far corner.

We knew Hillary at Wellesley, but had not spoken more than a minute after rallies since then. As expected, just as comfortable and genuine as she appears (to me, anyway) in the media. A treasured delight.

p.s. - The future has come to Wellesley. The minorities are now very clearly in the majority!

I guess you know you are very lucky to know her. I just watched that wonderful speech at Wellesley and now I'm awash with tears. What we almost had, and missed!

... to Wellesley. The minorities are now very clearly in the majority!

In addition they now have a black president. Hillary and hubby worked together to start recruitment at schools where black students attended.
