Abstract

From the on-set of this paper, I will attempt to recreate the events, thoughts, and actions leading up to and including the candidacy of my mother, Nell Burrow, for Hancock County Council. The candidacy and the people involved embodied a peculiar combination of a mission-like attitude of the Camelot era; an unquestionable faith (and fate) of the McGovern Army, and the ruthless city-savvy politics associated with Daley's Chicago. It is an experience which not only I will never forget, but will remember fondly.
