Reply #3: Gert is wonderful [View All]

[Tom Rinaldo]

I had the great pleasure in New Hampshire on 2004 Primary day to spend 15 minutes with her and about four other Clark supporters standing talking together in the NH winter gathered in front of a voter polling station. She really was delightful. I felt like I already knew her for years, talking with her is like talking with your absolutely favorite neighbor. Very real and down to earth with a wonderful straight forward energy and a delightful sense of humor. Gert knows how to pull off a high level State Dinner perfectly, she's been there and done that extremely well. But Gert seems equally as natural over coffee and cookies.

I remember thinking at the time, what a wonderful friend this woman could make if circumstances allowed that. I don't care how popular she might be, I never get that feeling about Laura Bush. America would be delighted to know Gert Clark better. I am glad to hear that she is getting this honor.
