I am smiling, smiling, smiling!
She’s just as genuine and sweet in person as we think she is, isn’t she?

Moreso. Seriously. I swear that we could have gone home and she and Mrs. Robroy could have baked an incredible salmon dinner (while I tossed the salad) while we all talked about international politics and our country’s internal problems and solutions - and grandkids.
I am not trying to get into details, but I’ve been around a lot of famous people and there are only two others that I could call that sincerely friendly. Some are friendly in a “let’s be nice and sound ‘interested’ to the little people” sort of way. She was simply gregarious. She asked the typical questions, but also answered questions.
At one point I had a senior moment and lost track of what I was talking about. She backtracked the conversation to put me back on track. That one thing was very telling. All I am really trying to say is, she seems genuinely nice and sincere, with not a hint of saccharin. Even if she were a “nobody”, she exudes a quality that would cause you to think she would still be a great friend, and someone you could trust on a personal level.
Yes, she is........I have spoken to several people who have met her......If you go up to her and say, “Hello Governor”, she will say, “My name is Sarah.....”
One time outside of Wasilla, a tourist managed to get the bus driver to stop so he could take a picture of the town monument.......A black VW shows up along the road, and a woman in running gear steps out. He thinks, “That looks like Sarah”....it was Sarah, she went to the bus, signed autographs and hugged every one there.......
Guess who was her driver? It was Todd, and the tourist and Todd had a wonderful conversation, and he said Todd was really nice........Then Sarah took off in her running gear with Todd behind her in the VW............
This woman has no fear..............
