I just found out...

I just learned the fact that Gereldine Ferraro passed away on Saturday. For those unaware of who she was, she was the first female vice presidential candidate of the United States. She always carried herself with class at a time when the campaign was being blasted as the worst defeat of a presidential campaign in history. Her running mate was Walter Mondale and they ran against Ronald reagan and George H. W. Bush. I do not recall any ill words by either her or Mr. Mondale over the years and I am sure there have been ample chances to do so. She was an incredibly classy and intelligent woman to me inspite of the fact I never met her I have an enormous amount of respect for her. She came up short in her id to become Viec President of the United Staes but she will live on in history and in my mind as not only a trend setter but as a pioneer for women everywhere. Rest in peace and your style and grace will be missed!
