Any former Pages on line... I was one for the Ohio House
back in the seventies...

In fact, one of my first tasks was to help a newly elected Sherrod Brown unpack his office....

But I was wondering if anyone else thought as I do that Pages should be in college...

We were in Ohio and I believe the vast majority of state houses require a Page to be at least 17 years old...

With the episode here, perhaps it is time for the US House to stop taking high school aged Pages and recruit from the area colleges...

2. One would think it would be more advantageous
to have someone more mature. Apparently Foley liked pages a bit younger. For now obvious reasons.

3. It's a lot of fun....
But I could barely handle the ego trip from having the job and I was 19....

It took me about a year to get over myself and focus on the job at hand...

It happens to a lot of people...
