My friend Peter S. sent me this email today after having read my previous entry about my admiration for my friend Dave F's partner for running against a longtime incumbent congressmen, Fred Upton, from Michigan's 6th Congressional District, which takes in the Southwest corner of the state. Here's the contents of Peter's email:
Hey, you forgot the 3 most important details in your post about Fred Upton.
1. My family moved to Washington DC when my Dad went to work for David Stockman as his Deputy Director of Management. Stockman left that House seat to take the OMB job.
2. My Dad is pretty friendly with Upton.
3. I worked for Fred Upton for 3 days. I got an unpaid internship in his office the Summer of '88 after I graduated high school. It was stultifying. I got a call after several days from the Great Falls Village Green Preschool asking if I'd take a job there -- and that they'd pay me extra if I drove the school for field trips. Done! Driving the school bus was great!
I demand an addendum to the blog post!
What connection between myself and this district might come up next?
