Tami from Iowa on last night’s Cedar Falls AIDS Vigil
Tonight we held our candlelight service in Cedar Falls on the UNI campus. Sen. Biden was speaking at an education forum at 4:00 p.m. on campus before the rally. I showed up early hoping that I could remind him of the candlelight service hoping he would come and light a candle with us. I didn’t get to talk to him before the forum, but stayed for the end. Once he was done answering questions, I went up and told him I had met him at an earlier event in New Hampton. I had a picture of Adrian (my son) and I that I have given to other presidential candidates. I write on the back, AIDS funding saves lives, AIDS funding saves families with my address and contact info. I told him I hoped he would be able to come to the candlelight service, that my son would be there and would like to meet him. He made sure that a staffer knew where the event was taking place. He gave me a hug and told me he would be there. We held off the rally as long… (more)
