This morning’s breakfast for the New York State delegation was dedicated to women since it’s the 88th anniversary of the 19th amendment. Speakers included Michelle Paterson, the First Lady of New York; Louise Slaughter, an upstate congresswoman who has the distinction of being one of the longest-serving women; Janet Napolitano, the governor of Arizona (who was terrific); and Caroline Kennedy.
I didn’t get the opportunity to speak to Caroline and tell her that I was truly inspired by her father to get involved in my community more than 40 years ago and could identify with her being inspired by Obama.
I’ve interacted with Jeffrey Dinowitz who’s here with his son Eric and daughter Kara, Eliot Engel, Charlie Rangel, Mark Green and others who I’ll mention later ... now on to the women’s caucus and other meetings.
Incidentally, the weather is sunny and hot. Denver is a beautiful city. I hope to see more of it. —Helen Morik
