Local beader designs necklaces for Hillary Clinton
It all started with a letter and a locket sent by Be to Clinton in 1992 during the Clinton/Gore campaign. Be was struggling with bipolar disorder and was relatively new to beading, but she decided to create something for Clinton to wear on the campaign trail.
She created a hand-beaded American flag locket and sent it to Clinton. She never expected to hear back, but two weeks later, she received a letter thanking her for the locket.
...
Be posed with Clinton for a photo, hand-in-hand, both wearing Gail Be Design custom jewelry.
“I know the secretary takes thousands of pictures … but I know she doesn’t hold hands with many people,” Be said. “She has been in my heart for so long — for how she helped me — that it was just like meeting an old friend 24 years later.”
