When I was a kid, about ten years old or so, my father was a shop steward in Baltimore’s carpenter union local 101
He was good buddies with Pelosi’s father, D’Alesandro and often did help on his house in Baltimore’s Little Italy.
My brother and I often went with our father to help, carry tools, pick up trash, etc. Nancy would come home and ask her mother if she could go somewhere. Her mother said No at times then she’d go butter up her father, who was, as the article states, the Mayor of Baltimore. She always had perfectly pleated skirts and she always got her way.
I remember on election nights my father would meet the mayor, sometimes with us kids along, at local voting places when the votes were in at days end. The electrician’s union somehow, I don’t know how and I was only around ten or so, but the electricians union would zap the voting machines to re-set all the votes to D’Alesandro.
My granddaughter now lives in Baltimore while I have moved to Delaware to be close to Joe Biden. Heh.
Anyway, Baltimore was a bit of a mess then and we’re talking 50 years ago.
Nancy controlled the world then and she was only like around 15 or so.
Yeah.
Nancy Pelosi. My childhood friend. I smile when I think about it, she in San Francisco and me in Delaware.
Zapping the voting machines....that was great fun.
I worked in every part of Baltimore, used to love that city. The Inner Harbor, Little Italy....remember Governor Agnew?
Now it’s a dirtball town.
Sure do...he was Ted Agnew before he became Spiro Agnew, vice president under Nixon.
Actually he was Spiro before he came to be Ted...
“Zapping the voting machines....that was great fun.”
I wish your eyewitness account could be in print news or on tv, nationally.
