thanks and it just keeps getting better. The Hillary Clinton campaign called today and we will be introducing Senator Kaine for his speech at the University of Nevada Reno Campus tomorrow morning. We are going to share our story per Hillary's request. Hopefully it will raise awarness some for bettering the situation for people with disabilities.

That's great news Walter--I hope it makes the nightly national news shows so I can share the experience with you!
Nice Work!

thanks Gnarly! The traveling Clinton campaign came in for pizzas tonight - 5 large NY, garlic knots, and chocolate chip cookies. They told me to bring my harmonica along as Senator Kaine plays too. He played on the Ellen Show today I was told. Walter

Thanks. Today was a whirlwind of 24 hours. I got to blow some harp for Senator Kaine and he told the press covering it - "He sure plays better than me :-)" He told me he got a custom harp on the Ellen show yesterday and we talked of common interest in helping those that are disadvantaged. I wrote a few words about today.

Today was a whirlwind of magical proportion. To be chosen to introduce the potential future Vice President of the USA can't be put into words but I will try a few. To think they picked a regular Joe like me who has no political/financial clout and on top of this they let me give my intro without a script. Many of you know I live life spontaneously and to write a speech just isn't me. I simply prayed for guidance, looked out on the crowd, took a breath, and it all came out easier than if I read it off a script. To let someone do this in today's age of scrutiny moved me beyond words. To be chosen to introduce a man and share our mission on a platform that will change the course of the world if Mrs. Clinton is elected, that they trusted me, an unknown, to do right.................. I will cherish this day forever and it will forever inspire me to work to my dying day trying to make people with disabilities lives meaningful. Thanks to everyone who has supported our cause. Walter

And you still find the time to blow some harp! You're an inspiration, Walter.

Hey Walter,
I blurt out what I believe to be the truth pretty frequently too.
Hearing you describe your recent experience renews my faith in our Democratic candidates--lotta nonsense being thrust in our faces of late.
I am glad you can trust your instincts--tellin' the truth can be dangerous business!

thanks guys. We are off today and tomorrow. I think I am going to just sit in my lazy boy recliner and recover from this week. So many people came in we had lines out the door. Walter

here are the tv news videos. The campaign manager said he is going to mail me a copy of a picture with me blowing my harp with Senator Kaine next to me.

What a rush! Thanks for sharing.

You have had an interesting life, and this ranks right up there.

Keep doing what you are doing, and congratulations on keeping your wits about you when the universe gave you another unique encounter. You make harmonica players look good!
