[surrey]

Bob Dole spoke at my daughter's college graduation in'93. He was FANTASTIC!. She had absolutely no interest in politics then,though she did know who he was. She was quite impressed. He didn't give one of those speeches where you wish someone would just kill you and end your agony. He was truly funny. The only sour note was that he was introduced by George Mitchell.

I thought his acceptance speech was pretty good, but that was the last of it. I remember him directly taking on the teachers unions and thought, here we go! [As an aside, I never quite understood---beyond the obvious---why the teachers unions supported BJ Klintoon when he ranted about third graders not being able to read. Seems to me that was a direct indictment of the teachers.]

Condolences on being in the same zip code as George Mitchell.
