I wrote earlier on the blog that my favorite dignitary (politician) at the Convention is Rob McKenna. I have lived in Washington State since 1991 and I am convinced that so far as my interests are concerned, Rob McKenna has done more good for the State of Washington than anyone else. I was honored to have met him. The honor, he said, was all his - and he urged me to say hello to my daughters, and to encourage them as they mature into responsible adults. I hope they become as active politically as I've been all my life, and maybe they can do so with a bit more balance (wink :)
