26. I met him several times and drove him around Madison in 2004
I was a driver when he visited Madison in February, 2004 when he won Wisconsin. He was very friendly and joked around a bit. He was also pretty serious as well when conferring his staff.

I also met him when he was preparing for the first debate in Spring Green, WI. He was very nice even when he was exhausted from the rigors of running for President.

I've met Russ too...an excellent man as well.
