She was the vice presidential running mate to Mondale's failed bid for the presidency in 1984. It is always shocking to hear of the passing of an icon, especially an untimely loss. She was not "like me." She was wealthy, extremely well-educated, upper class. But there are truths about being a minority that transcend, and I was inspired by her confidence and faith. I am not now what I thought I would be at this age when I witnessed her historic campaign, but I have called upon my memory of her grit throughout my career.
My heart goes out to her family and all other women who, like me, are mourning the loss of a hero.
