Dear Hunter, 

It was with great surprise and delight that I JUST found your email address that you passed along to me last Thanksgiving. I am so grateful that you were so thoughtful to have the picture of your dad and me (taken at my place of employment, Murray's Toggery Shop) forwarded along for him to sign to me! I treasure it, and this is certainly a long overdue thank you! I will have a copy of it in the shop's window when you all return this weekend for Thanksgiving! 

The Election. Oh, my. Being on Nantucket's Democratic Town Committee, is such an honor....and campaigning so hard for your dad and the President this past year was just exhilarating. Nantucket went very strongly Democratic, and even our state party chair, John Walsh, could not believe just how much Nantucket came out for Elizabeth Warren. We worked VERY hard on this little island.......so many tears of joy on election night with my committee friends. 

And I must say, it was wonderful to see Beau so much on television as part of campaign commentary the last few months. He was terrific. 

And last, but not least, I have followed via the news that you are going to join your brother in the service soon. Thank you so much for serving your country this way. My boyfriend who is now a nurse at the Nantucket Cottage Hospital, was a Captain in the Air Force as a flight nurse. Many an afternoon during the campaign, he and I were sign holding at various places on the island with our Obama/Biden signs......his sign was "Veterans for Obama". :-) 

Nantucket wishes you and your family another wonderful Thanksgiving on the island. It sure would be nice for our Town Democratic Committee to be able to welcome the Vice-President back to the island.....guess I will have to do some sleuthing to see when Air Force 2 is arriving! Please some into Murray's Toggery on Friday to say hello, and so I can get another photo with my Vice-President!......I would probably be so excited, I might want to hug him like that Florida pizza guy hugged the President! :-) 

Most Sincerely, 

Susan Cary 

(PS....I have sent a couple recent campaign photos by attachment - including my Obama Halloween costume, and a picture taken in 2007 on Nantucket at a Barack Obama fundraiser. I was on the committee!)
