Very glad to see her in charge of the senator's Fairbanks office. Smart, stable; Fairbanks will (again) like her. Former schoolteacher, very mainstream person.

Remember her ads?? Just a big dot. No words. No picture. A big dot. Sort of sums up her legislative career. A mere dot.

George Bush liked Sally too, Boodrow. He took her to the Big I for few cold ones circa 1975.

As I recall she was a big time liberal when she was a legislator. I am sure she will be a benefit to our single term senator.
