He was passing through.

I remember in the late 60s when, as a student at the UW, I used to walk up to the State Capital Building on nice days and just take self-guided tours of the building. Occasionally, I would see Governer Lee Sherman Drefus taking his afternoon walk around the square and he was always willing to stop and chat.

It was a better time, before the insanity of the May 1970 riots.

Whoops! Correction on that. I used to see him when I was a grad student in the late 70s. As an officer in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, I had several opportunities to meet him when he was my CiC.

I am getting old and the memory ain't what it was! lol

I had assumed he took a train to Superior. He drove? from Chicago?
