Thank you for the story about your amazing days.

Although I am just 78, I identify with nearly everything you shared with us.

I admit the jumping up is no longer an option for me. You speak from your heart… it shows. 🌸

thank YOU for reading! And I am really happy that it resonated (sans the jumping, that's totally fine!).

I have such a mix of feelings right now. My heart is happy and my back is sore, but the smile on my face is BIG.

Great interview, Sylvia! Me alegro tanto que tuviste esta gran oportunidad. Lo mereces. Maxwell parece ser una gran persona. Ojalá que él siga como congresista por muchos años. Necesitamos más jóvenes capaces en el gobierno.

Gracias! No te imaginas lo linda persona que fue conmigo. Me habría podido quedar hablando feliz. Ojalá pueda conectar con él si viene a Portland. Y definitivamente necesitamos más gente como él en el congreso y en posiciones de liderazgo

You lived to tell the story, so thank you! I follow someone else who was there, but she hasn't been able to debrief yet. I would've been the same as you!

I now can make fun of myself about it. And I’m grateful that my first time interviewing a member of Congress was with such a nice person

Yeah, there were some people I would've fanned over who are problematic now!
