She was a woman who worked in a hand laundry in New York for years. and there she sat at a confirmation hearing seeing her son who used to run around this little hand laundry in New York now being nominated for one of the highest positions in the Federal Government. I am glad she got to see that nomination. but I am sorry that she had to witness what has happened since. She came to this country as an immigrant with hope. Her husband. who Bill Lee identified as his greatest inspiration in life. was a man who was totally committed to this country. During World War II. at the age of 36 when he could have escaped the draft. he volunteered. went into the Army Air Corps and served with real distinction.
