Bill Levin, Nick Linsmayer, Doug McMillan and Dar Reedy. Highlights and lowlights on a variety of subjects great and small were offered throughout the evening by former teachers Bob Drechsel, Jim Martin, Ran Miner and David Sims, with counterpoints from Jim Borchert, Len Fricke, Bill Levin, Nick Linsmayer, Dar Reedy and Bill Tongen. To close, an echo of Ed Read: ‘A good time was had by all.’”

▲ Jill Sandeen writes, “I am so very proud of America. We have risen up and elected Barack Obama to be the 44th president of our great nation. Since July of 2007, I was inspired to participate and take charge of our destiny and worked passionately on the Obama campaign. Starting with four trips to Iowa to canvass and volunteer at events, becoming a precinct captain in Minnesota, followed by becoming elected a National Delegate from my Congressional District and attending the DNCC in Denver I have, from the start, been an ardent advocate of an Obama presidency. Being at Invesco
Field for Senator Obama’s acceptance speech was a highlight of my life. Ultimately, I took the last month of the campaign off from my job as a Certified Nurse-Midwife to work full time as a volunteer. Then, on November 4, 2008, we as a nation said ‘Yes We Can!’ Though I have now returned to my ‘real job’ of providing health care to women and their babies, I am committed to helping President Obama in the call to right our country and our world, and encourage all of you to step up to the plate and participate!”
