- I had the good fortune to be able to help vote the Pail and Shovel
- Party into office during those years. I still have some of the campaign
- materials and other miscellaneous stuff (e.g. my share of the $400
- tuition rebate, the revised campus map), and postcards of the flamingoes
- and Statue of Liberty proudly hang here in my office. I'll have to look
- for the book.
