George McGovern Fans!! Great Article!

[JasonBerry]

The first campaign I really worked in and invested all of my heart in was the 1972 campaign of former Senator George McGovern. I often wonder about him and came across a great article with some neat pix. What George is up to these days at age --- 80!!

George McGovern gets his second wind
George McGovern drives down Main Street in Stevensville in an old blue Suburu with a cracked windshield, his glossy black Newfoundland Ursa along for the ride. He steers diagonally in to the curb in front of the bookstore and parks. He wears an overcoat and a scarf and a beaver felt fedora. Now 80 years old, he looks less and less recognizably like the man you might remember from his most photographed period, just over thirty years ago. He’s lost some of the height and the once-prominent nose and chin have softened back into the landscape of his face. His eyes are still intense under his heavy forehead, and when something tickles him, Ursa maybe, they twinkle behind his glasses.
Here is the article:

Good word for McGovern. I, too, feel very proud of the man. A statesman.
