To the Editor:

I met Hillary Clinton nine years ago this month. I was in Atlantic City for a state-wide Democratic convention and she was an invited guest. I remember it distinctly because my mother was in the hospital having surgery. I wasn’t sure if I should cancel the convention, but I was assured by good friends that they would be there and she would be fine. The surgery went well.

As I waited on line to greet her, I was impressed with her poise. More, I was impressed by her winning smile.
