Sorry to reply to this thread so late, But I have to reply. I am originally from the Pittsburgh area, so I grew up with Your Father. The day he died, I cried for the loss, from both the voting standpoint and the standpoint that I had lost my Dad many years before that, I know what it feels like. Had he lived, he would have made an Excellent President. Your Mother faced the situation with grace and Dignity, the Dignity I have come to Expect from Teresa Heinz. I loved your Dad, it's as simple as that. One of the First landmarks I could Identify in Pittsburgh to help me navigate through the City was indeed the Big Bottle of ketchup. Your family is a Pittsburgh Institution, I even worked at the H.J. Heinz Progressive Care center in Fox Chapel. To see you here, Posting with us, gives me hope. Now a days, I support your Step Dad, and Love him as much as I did John Heinz. I voted for him, I supported him, And I will continue to do so. I keep saying John Kerry is my President. He is the man that was best for this country, the best for the Job, the best for the hope of America. Half this country has again stated to me that we are indeed in the Midst of idiots. I moved from PA in 2001 to West Virginia. Wow, talk about Culture shock. November 2, when WV went red I nearly got sick. My hope returned when I saw Pennsylvania go Blue. Pennsylvania, I have said it several times, YOU ROCK! Anyway, Chris, I wanted to Thank you for posting, Again, another Heinz gives me hope!
Brightest Blessings to all of your family!
