I was sent by Al Gore's 1988 presidential campaign to coordinate an event in Ohio towards the end of Gore's candidacy.

After it ended, I gave Tom Wicker a drive to the airport.

Turns out he was a close friend of Harvey Sloane, who had run for governor (and later senator) in Kentucky and we had a number of common friends.

We talked far more candidly than a journalist and campaign staffer should but I got his insights on a variety of campaigns and candidates going back to John F. Kennedy.

One of the better hours in my life.

A fine man who made a huge impact on the world, the presidency and the modern media.
