I encountered Minute Gal at my very first Florida FREEP......the one in the picture at Sen. Graham's office in Tampa!

It was just prior to the Senate vote on Clinton's removal (Jan. 1999?) and we wanted to present our petitions urging Graham to vote to remove the Impeached CREEP.

The whole event was exciting....many flags, great signs...We even marched to one of the busiest intersections in downtown Tampa....we got good press & TV coverage! I recall one bus driver going around the block twice in order to honk his loud horn in encouragement!

But my most vivid memory of that day was meeting Minute Gal! What a dynamo; what a wit and what great fun to be with!

It was the beginning of a wonderful friendship that I treasure! Our towns are close enough that we can even make plans to meet for lunch!

Leni....Do you remember the 'after freep lunch? And how we posed for pictures with other Freeper Gals and called ourselves the FR Amazon Brigade?

I was interested to learn the origin of your screen name as I just assumed you had named yourself after the Minutemen of the Revolution!

Thanks you for all you do for the FR Network & the FL Florida Chapter! BTW...I 'made' this special patriotic rug just to help you celebrate your well deserved day in the spotlight....Bless you....dear Leni!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
FR's Finest Freeper MINUTE GAL

Thanks so much, Julie, for your sweet words.

Yes, I DO remember that great freep. And we had the Florida Freeper Air Force One making sweeps over the skyscrapers that day, also! Whoo hooh!

Julie is nursing the Attack by the Fire Ants on her foot and I'm grounded with a fractured foot right now. We are indeed freeper sisters joined at the foot!

Hi, Julie Friend! I am still so thrilled for you and everyone in Florida, and your letter Wednesday could not have been any more perfect. Am SO glad you let me put it under lights!
