What I remember most of that year was that throughout the summer and fall, the more I read and the more I learned, I realized that he was far better as both a leader and as a person than I had thought. This even though, as a 70 year old now. I was blown away by his eloquence, brilliance and morality in 1971. Most years, as the campaign went on, while always supporting the Democrat, there were glimpses of negatives emerging from the original well crafted image. In 2004, the more I learned the more I saw that decade after decade he has stayed true to what he believed in.
