Back in '98 Michelle was the token conservative on the Seattle Times editorial board. At the first meeting of the Puget Sound FReeper Chapter in June 1998 at Ivar's Acres of Clams, Michelle showed up with her husband, explained she was a FReeper, and covered our meeting.

The result was a Times article about us in which she mentioned me quite prominently. I still owe her because she made me sound so much more intelligent than I really am.

And, yes, she is just as gorgeous in person.

I was at the follow-on meeting Michelle attended in a private home.

I'm thinking I remember your "Publius" name...when you were writing a great deal of individual work here on FR.

I remember you as a contributor and quite intelligent as well.

In fact, you were at that home as well...BBQ...and when I asked about your name, you mentioned something about the founding writers...and I THINK one of the anonymous anti-Federalists?
