Mine, too. I still have my elephant pin with Goldwater glasses.
” I still have my elephant pin with Goldwater glasses.”
I still have my pin, too, my buttons and my big red sign that my little kids and I carried around the precinct in Texas. The “In your heart you know he’s right” sign. I worked for that man all year - January when he announced to Nov. when we had the wake. Watched the whole 4 day convention on TV (it was 106 outside the whole week, and I kept plopping all my little kids into a bathtub of cold water while I watched the pure evil of Rockefeller, Scranton and Romney, but also Goldwater’s legendary speech. It was an exciting year, with a horrible finish. Goldwater was my first vote (too young by a few months in 1960) and Reagan was my daughter’s first vote. So we at least had good beginnings (and disgusting follow-ups).
Oh, that we all might have that kind of beginning just once more.
