They were selling little lapel pins that were tiny bottles of gold colored water. A little more subtle than the typical election pin.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-67966121873927995652014-09-04T13:07:21.374-07:002014-09-04T13:07:21.374-07:00I Goldwater visits.

He had family connections in Indiana and was a frequent visitor.<br />He was a fascinating man, larger than the mould/mold most politicians derive from. <br />I think your ears got better looking as you aged! :)<br /> Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-65138273808479169632014-09-04T10:12:14.400-07:002014-09-04T10:12:14.400-07:00Sorry, Jager, I don't know a thing about it.Sorry, Jager, I don't know a thing about it.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-55423168553891332682014-09-04T10:09:49.078-07:002014-09-04T10:09:49.078-07:00Dan Brannan, the Brannan Cannon.

Good for him!<br /><br />BTW, Did Barry Goldwater's 2nd wife and his son ever get their differences with the crazy people running the Goldwater Institute straightened out? At one time she wanted his name taken off it.Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854309313920685901noreply@blogger.com
