My best name drop ...

Was interviewing the soon-to-be Governor of Maine, Angus King, at my house on Vickery Street in Augusta, which was completely covered with rocks, since I was a rock collector, and he said, "You must like rocks." And I said I did. Then Angus came inside and sat on the couch and Mr. Dog the dog drooled all over his leg while I interviewed Angus about economic policy. I was writing for Ruth Robinson's business magazine, Corporate Challenge News, at the time.
