Clinton has spent decades in public service since 1973 to be exact. She deserves to be on that stage tonight as the first women candidate of a major party. And what where you doing in 1973? I was in Boston working at a major hospital clinic providing health care to the indigent and homeless and Hillary was in New Bedford , MA. , not far from Boston, knocking on doors looking for disabled children who had no way to be educated and go to school at the time.  Hillary, a new attorney, chose that instead of a prestigious law firm. These children were not "mainstreamed" at all in public schools. I lived that time, we wanted to make a difference and still do. Thanks to those like Hillary my grandson who is 5 is autistic and is receiving his education in a public school with the help of his teachers and his classmates. He is a remarkable brilliant child who feels secure and reaching for his potential. People who commit to Public Service never quit or give up on anyone.
