I went to my fiftieth class reunion last fall. One of the women there remembered me coming to her door when I was about twenty. She asked me if I remembered why I had knocked on her family's door. I told her I had been canvassing for a local candidate. I told her that I was still doing that, and I would be doing that until my legs gave out. Then I would get on the phone.

I told her I was pleased that she remembered by visit.
