oh man, this is a great memory.
dr dean was in town for a fundraiser, as were almost all the active dems in the state. he wanted to press the flesh w some locals b4 the thing. the a list was busy, the b list was busy, the c list was busy. so Sean Tenner called me.
i actually got to meet the good doctor several more times. i’m putting a pair of buttons i made back then in his pocket, and he’s signing 1. 1 of them is him, w the words- brought to you by. there‘s pics of nickels and dimes and mice. the other is of bush. same words, only his is oil co logos, defense co logos. u get the idea.
the next time i saw him i asked him to sign the same button again. saw him at a couple parties at joe moore’s house.
he still speaks for me.
