“I never thought I'd live long enough to see a woman president”

 

• Born June 1917 in Chicago, IL

• Walked precinct with twins in baby buggy more than six decades ago

• Took family to see Adlai Stevenson at his farm when he became 1952 Democratic nominee

• Passed along passion for politics to children

• Still lives independently

 

“As a lifelong Democrat and political junkie, I never thought I'd live long enough to see a woman president. For the first time in my life I voted early to make sure my vote counts. I couldn't feel more strongly the urgency of electing Hillary; she is eminently qualified.”
