>>>Delaware has an interesting past, if only it were still as free today, LOL, and the rest of the states too.<<<
Oh yes... I think that one turning point was about 17 years ago. Another about 25 years ago.
We used to have some of the best Legislators - In such a small state, you knew them all - It has been amazing to see some of the later ones become chameleons.
U.S. Senator John Williams was a gem... The Washington politicos tried so hard to discredit him. I remember the Washington newspapers running a big ‘expose’ about him...
“What was Sen. Williams doing in an Elkton, MD Motel at midnight with a woman less than half his age?” Gee, pretty simple - he picked up his daughter (a college junior) for break over Christmas and they were driving home, stopped at the diner that was in front of a motel for a cup of coffee (about half way on a 5 hour trip).
Caleb Boggs, Bill Roth, Russ Peterson, Pete duPont are a few others who were top notch. I feel fortunate to have known all of them.
It should be noted that most (except Russ & Pete) were from downstate! They kept their conservative principles with them when they moved into the political arena.

You are indeed fortunate, not only to have known them, but to live in a state that they served.
I am so glad it was his daughter, there are so many who would not have put out the effort to even pick her up.
