I met his wife once—nice lady. She was no Princess Di but she was friendly and seemed like she was committed to her family. She talked about how much they had enjoyed a family vacation down the Snake River and she encouraged me (a person with hydrophobia) to go.
I corresponded with her husband very briefly on the matter of his immigration stance. He seemed very cordial if a bit misguided. I'm very sorry for the family. This sort of stuff hurts them worse than it hurts him.
