Hillary Clinton's high school classmates react to her nomination
http://www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clinton-high-school-nomination-2016-6Anita Rifkind wrote a note to her well-known high-school classmate, Hillary Clinton, right after her husband, Bill, was elected president in 1992.
"None of us are surprised to see you in the White House," Rifkind wrote. "We're just surprised you had to bring that guy with you."

Maine South classmate Cheryl Harbour told Business Insider:
This to me seems like an extension of who she was then and what every moment of her life has been. It's not as if it was a huge leap. I feel like the person that we see today is the person that I first got to know in first grade. ... I can still see the influences of Park Ridge in her.

"I look at the media coverage and I say this is not the person I know," Rifkind said. "The person I know is warm. And open. And friendly. And is as honest as you can be. The fact that she doesn't come across that way in the media always puzzles me."

Well, there was the whole "baking cookies" thing. The media began tearing her limb from limb with glee and purpose from that point pretty much onward. Obviously, she had it coming. 
The first time I met HRC, I was arranging an interview for her with Afghan radio and we were having tech difficulties -- which left time for small talk. I introduced myself as hailing from the home town next to hers, and she immediately said, "wait, what high school did you go to?" When I said I attended Maine East -- which she had also attended until Maine South was opened in her senior year -- her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "why, you're a BLUE DEMON!"
Absolutely the most endearing thing I've ever seen a person of her stature do -- and I've seen a lot of them.
Thank you, pnwmom~
