On the recordMarch 18, 1997
Recently in Eatonville, a little town in my district, a young lady came up to me and asked me did I know Mrs. Alexis Herman because she was from Mobile, AL. And speaking of family values, she told me about her mother who was the librarian in the little school there and taught them the importance of taking care of what they had since they did not have much. Her father was a community leader and sent best wishes to Ms. Alexis Herman. So when we talk about family values, it is important to understand that Alexis Herman comes from the kind of roots that has made this country great.
