And the - sort of the David Broder of the Scranton Times - it was a guy named Tommy Phillips, who was an elderly man - younger than me, but elderly man - (laughter) - who was the chief political reporter. And I was standing on the corner watching everybody go by they’re going to the event.Īnd Harry Truman was a speaker at the Truman Dinner that year. We still called Scranton home and - and we were up there on St. And one day, we went back to - I was back in Scranton, and a lot of my friends - I moved there to Delaware when I was in third grade, but we had been home a lot.

We would go home all the time to Scranton. And we moved down to Delaware - Claymont, Delaware. And I lived in Scranton until - until the economy just drew down and there was no work. My grandpop was an Irishman named Ambrose Finnegan.

And I was reminded - and I will - I’m going to send the - the Truman Library a copy of it. And we were talking about all that Harry Truman did. You know, I had an opportunity to meet members of the Truman Board.
