My Fondest & Most Personal Memory of Elizabeth Edwards

It was the summer of 2004 and myself, along with about 150 volunteers were handpicked by local Kerry/Edwards campaigners to represent our city and meet Senators John Kerry and John Edwards as they stumped for the presidency.

She thanked us for our service and went on to let us know how much she loved her husband and how he and Kerry would make a great President and Vice President of our nation. I admired her spirit that day. John Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz, also spoke to the crowd but she didn’t connect like Elizabeth did. I remember thinking that Elizabeth would make a great First ...
