Message: [QUOTE="FairwayFlyer, post: 3651398, member: 4332"] My wife's grandmother, Ruth, was Hubert Humphrey's secretary during his time as a Minnesota senator and as Vice President. She and Hubert had an ongoing affair that lasted several years. My mother-in-law spent quite a bit of time with him, and she and Ruth flew privately with him on more than one occasion. My mother-in-law was too young at the time to really understand the relationship. Ruth and her husband's marriage ended over it. I'm thankful I had the opportunity to know Ruth in her final years. At 92, she began writing her autobiography, and, coincidentally, she passed away right before the Hubert chapter. I have Hubert's vice presidential cufflinks, and a full encyclopedia set he gave to my mother-in-law with a hand written message on the first page of volume 1. [/QUOTE]
