My friend Wendy Davis is the niece of our Congressman from the sixties and seventies, John Davis. As a young teacher I was pleased to be introduced to Congressman Davis at the RNT news room where Sheila was working as a reporter at the time. I remember being impressed that he recited a poem to us; I don’t remember the poem or how it was appropriate to the conversation but it was. This thimble and a small campaign button are the only items in my collection from his races.

My husband was Congressman Davis's press secretary in the late sixties.

Really neat campaign mementos! Much more memorable than a campaign button!!!

My family met John Davis in his office in DC when I was a kid. He knew my grandpa, “Judge Edwards” (founder of RNT). He took us via the underground train to the congressional cafeteria (as I recall...vague memories). Simpler times. Cool thimble.
