92? that was a long life!

Glad she got to see her son become the VP.

We saw that on the evening news. I thought the same as you - how nice it was that she got to see her son become V.P.

What a lady! I loved this bit:


Joe Biden also recalled how when his mother couldn't find a pair of cufflinks for him to wear to an eighth-grade dance, she fashioned a pair from nuts and bolts, which left him mortified.

"Now look, Joey, if anybody says anything to you about these nuts and bolts, you just look them right in the eye and say 'Don't you have a pair of these?"' she told him.

She really was quiet a lady, wasn't she? Not too many like her around anymore. :(

A great mom produced a great man.
