Senator Barrasso, Live

In last week's Kemmerer Gazette I wrote a column on Senator Barrasso's live town hall meeting he held over the telephone. Yes, telephone and our home phone number was one of the number's that was randomly selected, I guess, to participate. The call started with a recording of Senator John Barrasso and that led to my call being transferred into a live town hall meeting with an obviously "live" Senator Barrasso taking questions from all across the state of Wyoming. You can read my Kemmerer Gazette article here.

This morning my phone rang and to my delight, a voice said, "Is this Karla Toomer? This is Senator Barrasso and this is not a recording." I got a good morning laugh. He called to say he enjoyed the article. We had a very brief conversation. I am quickly finding that my time talking with or listening to Senator Barrasso is never enough. (I bet his wife Bobbi feels the same way)

I wished him good luck with all he does. And, I meant it.
