I shook hands with Joe today, (Senator Lieberman, I meant to say) Passing through on a campaign blitz, Working hard for the votes he gets! His congenial smile and cordial greeting, Set the tone for our brief meeting, On a mission as the clock runs out, He wants my vote, he left no doubt! Yes , I shook hands with Joe today, Then off he went on his campaign way, Of this day I'll long remember, 'Specially if he wins in November! 10-16-2000 |

Dennis, This is a most interesting little poem, who would of thought my brother hobnobing with one who could possibly play an important role in our country's future! Thanks for sharing the moment--I don't know that I will ever have such a chance to do do. Love David WOW- another day of life-and here among friends! Ain't God Grand! |

Dear Dennis; This had to be quite a memorable occassion! Let me know how that election turns out. I like the way this sounded so "down home" and easy to read. Good job! Love, Sis Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

I never shook hands with a presidential or vice presidential candidate, but have had a chance to meet the aunt of one, and have also met a couple of US Senators, and a couple of governors of ME. It's fun to have a little brush with the people at the top, isn't it? I enjoy the way you've captured the moment. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Ah Dennis, this brought back the memory of seeing, and touching [hand-shake] Dan Blocker when he was stumping on a political campaign oh so long ago... and it made his departure from earth that much more poignant... and for those of you who don't know who I'm talking about, let's just say I'm showing my age again...
