I was running from one end and he from the other. Both heading to a connecting flight. I tecognized him and "accosted" him to shake his hand. His senate election was being contested in court at that time and I asked him how it was going. He gave me about 10 minutes of his time and seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I've got a brother up in MN that had volunteered for his campaign and I mentioned it. While I'm a male and was around 50 at the time, Al did not try to grab my buttocks.

On a serious note his resignation statement only reinforces my opinion that he should have had am Ethics. Commiee hearing on the matter.
