Happy #NationalVeepDay! Vice President Walter Mondale is the oldest living VP & has the longest post-VP time span. Carter & Mondale changed the role of the VP, moving the VP's office into the White House, so he could get the same briefings as the President. NAIDs 182916 & 182844

(5,157 posts)3. It was a great pleasure to meet VP Walter Mondale
He was accompanied by his well dressed and low-keyed staff.
They were all so polite and kind. And VP Walter Mondale had an impressionable smile and demeanor. It lit up everything around him.
A different era, no doubt.
We were on a flight to Minneapolis, a couple of decades ago.
one of my greatest memories from years of travel
