Geraldine Ferraro passed away

I read in the newspaper that Rep. Geraldine Ferraro passed away from cancer. She was the Democratic candidate for vice-president in 1984, my second year of college. First woman vice-presidential candidate representing a major political party in America. That was the first Presidential election I was old enough to vote in.
