George, that's exactly what successful politicians do! And it's not necessarily a bad thing.   I remember that in 1956 I was one of a group of Young Democrats assigned to whip up the crowd at an Adlai Stevenson rally in Portland OR. After the rally we cornered Wayne Morse (the first vote I ever cast was for him), the senior senator from Oregon at the time, and asked him to autograph out signs. My ball point pen didn't work and I had toborrow another.

Three years later I met Morse in a reception line at a convention.   Upon hearing my name, Morse said," Oh, yes. You're the Young Democrat whose pen didn't work."    I'm sure Morse or someone in his crew was taking notes.

Once again I encourage everyone to get and listen to the Loafer's Glory programs. They're woth at least a year at an Ivy League college.

The worst thing that could happen to his memory would be to make him an icon like Martin Luther King Jr. or Rosa Parks or...   I'm not denigrating them (Azizi, what's the derivation of that word?), I'm just saying that we have a tendency as humans to create heroes and then let them do all the work.

And George, I expect to see you again next January at the WWLHF.
