(Community Matters) Unfortunately, Senator Biden cancelled yesterday’s trip to Texas, not because of personal logistics but b/c it wouldn’t be prudent to distract law enforcement from hurricane tasks. While we cancelled the larger reception, Tom & Lynn Meredith went ahead with the dinner. Missed hearing directly from Joe Biden. But, everyone was able to speak and Juan, the campaign’s Texas director, gave us the latest greatest information nationally and statewide. We’ve all pledged to refocus on Obama and what we’re doing for the race, rather than focusing on McCain’s vice presidential nominee. Luci Johnson gave great perspective in talking about how she decided to pay $28,500 to attend the dinner. She acknowledged it was a startling number and talked about how she decided to attend when she thought of $2,590 per grandchild and the importance of this investment. Jerry Jeff Walker cracked us up and at the end serenaded us.
