Dear Friends,

When people run for office, it's not only about issues, as important as they may be.

I'd like to share the people that shaped my life, my character and my principles. Please feel also feel free to share this with anyone who has an interest. You may post it on your web sites, blog it, and send to anyone who would like to know a little more about me personally.

Mom, Dad, my niece and nephew, Angela and Mick Jagger are featured. For those of you who don’t understand the Mick part, I was privileged to travel with the Rolling Stones in Russia when the wall was still up. The experience changed the way I looked at life.

Mom, Dad - where ever you are -- this one's for you...
