Democratic Primaries

Classy continues to be a thread in my encounters with Senator Harris....

The young staff that came to Iowa became our friends and meshed into our lives (and still are), and my peeps fought over picking up their check(s) when they would join us at our favorite restaurants....

On an evening drive home from Kansas City just before Thanksgiving, my cellphone rang.... a # not in my contacts, but it said San Francisco, so I answered.... "Hello, Frank speaking," "Frank, it's Kamala Harris, and I just wanted to call and thank you for all you've done for me, and to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving".... after establishing she and Doug were safe in a DesMoines area hotel just prior to an impending blizzard that I was attempting to elude, she shared the delight of preparing Thanksgiving food for the staff...

Two weeks later a somewhat surprise campaign suspension, understanding but crestfallen, I contacted our favorite staffers... "Frank, do not worry about us... we are all good, we have been paid well, and are paid through the month"
