Political Life
I have been fortunate to participate in many interesting events and meet even more interesting people. Click on the pictures to enlarge and read what Keith's been up to.
I had an awesome time hosting retired US Senator Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) and his wife Sharon when he was the 2019 commencement speaker at Eastern Arizona College. They were the nicest, friendliest people you could imagine. The senator's roots run deep in the Gila Valley; his grandfather, Jesse Udall, was the Graham County attorney, and later chief justice of the state supreme court. His uncle, Arden Palmer, who lives in Thatcher, coaxed Gordon out here.
I was able to take Charlotte and Amanda to meet US Senators Marco Rubio (Florida) and Jeff Flake (Arizona) over lunch in August 2017.
