More Public Servants and Celebrities

Today, while again working at the Democratic National Convention here in Boston, I spotted a few more public servants and others who many are familiar with.

Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), who represents the 6th Congressional District of California covering all of Marin County and part of Sonoma County north of San Francisco deep in the heart of the famous California wine country and towering Redwood trees, took time to talk with a few of us volunteering at the Ritz Carlton-Back Bay. It wasn't a lengthy conversation, but she definitely left a really positive impression on me!

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who was the first female to take this post, also took a few moments to say "hi, how are you?" as she headed out of the hotel after attending a Women's Luncheon there.

Here are some of the people I spotted today:

I also saw Robert Novak, infamous conservative columnist.
