127. Ed Muskie & me
My first political memory is a Democratic picnic at Kennebunk Pond in Lyman, Maine over 40 years ago. Ed Muskie actually stood on a tree stump and gave a talk. My Dad, Ed, and me, got in our car after the speech and went to visit some of the local old folks who couldn't make it to the cook-out. Years later, when Muskie ran for President, my Dad and he went with the secret service men to call on many of the same old timers - much to the annoyance of the secret service men.
