I know, I answered with a partial editorial. But guys like these belong on the other side.

Scary. I remember when he was running for political office for the very first time, back in the 1970's, I think. I was a little kid, and I believe he was running for GR City Council. He came around to every house in our neighborhood, and gave each household a sappling pine tree (about 10 inches tall), planted in a styrofoam cup. I think we planted ours out in the back yard somewhere.
Either way, he won the election, but I remember asking my mom about him around a year (or so) later, and she said that although she voted for him, she was real disappointed in the job he was doing. If he was giving out trees way back then, it doesn't sound like he has changed very much. I think his campaign sign that year also featured a stylized drawing of a tree, superimposed on top of his last name (all in green, of course).
When I met him on our front pourch, I remember thinking he looked rather old even back then (if I recall, he was wearing a suit, had a bald head, and wore wire rimmed glasses). If this is the same Vern Ehlers, I am really surprised to hear that he is still kicking around 30 years later. How old is he?? 105??
