Thanks to everyone — especially to Jonathan Soo — who braved Monday’s chill winds to encourage voters at the polls. Dozens of us gathered on Lincoln School grounds with camaraderie and commitment to democratic choice. But Jonathan did more. He supported us all.
Jonathan arrived before 8 a.m. with a hot-water maker supplied by a portable battery so all of us — no matter our candidate or issue — could have a hot drink on such a cold day. And Jonathan came back at lunchtime with a crock pot of yummy noodle soup when we most needed sustenance. And then, Jonathan came back again after sunset and helped us clear out as wind chills fell well below freezing.
Thank you to all who cheered, held campaign signs, shared sun screen and sandwiches, and made new friends in the frigid wind! But most of all, thank you to Jonathan who came with a smile and warmth for everyone. Let us all take a bit of his spirit as we move forward together!
