Snowe and McKernan.....wtf happened to them? [View all]

In the late 80's I spent a day with Senator Snowe building a community playground in Dexter, Maine. Best community event ever. Anyways, Ms. Snowe was assigned to my workgroup and she was a trooper. Did a 10 minute vid/photo spot, but then worked 5 hours moving dirt, cutting boards, drilling holes. and driving screws. We had some interesting chats. I left impressed.

Then she married John McKernan - the Tom Brady of Republican Governers - and then they went into witness protection. Too bad. Margaret Chase Smith and Bill Cohen wonder what happened?
