Not sure what to say?

Correction: I have missed Faye for 45 years. (I've always been mathematically challenged.)

I believe this is the Faye E. Thornton of Ohio with whom I worked in the Second Congressional District of Iowa (Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, etc.) in the 1980 election cycle. Faye was a force of nature: laser-focused dedication to her causes and candidates (especially including Senator John Glenn), extremely sharp-witted, and fascinating to be around. I have missed her for 25 years.

Remenber traveling to aunt Faye's for visits as a kid. Loved her humor, the way she would chuckle, and how eyes gave away her thoughts. We ill miss her.

RIP Aunt Faye. As your doppelganger I will try to keep the snappy ( occasionally sarcastic) comebacks flowing.
