The President’s eulogy at the Walter F. Mondale Memorial yesterday inspired us to dig out some memorabilia and reflect on our times with this “good man,” as Joe Biden called him. Yesterday Biden revealed an intimate and long-standing relationship with the man who welcomed him in his first days at the Senate, and never stopped being an important fixture in his life.
We cherish the pictures of our nights at the Mondales in D.C. where, a busy man preparing for his presidential run, still had time for photos, a nice visit, and a box of Poppycock at his kitchen table, shared with two thrilled constituents from his home state.
Rest in peace, Fritz Mondale, a Good Man.
