As I came around the corner, there it was:  The Daily Times.  Publisher Dave Perry was standing behind the front counter when I walked in.  I told him I was running for president.  Not being a household name, yet, Perry looked at me a bit askance.  Since I didn&#8217;t have any news clips with me, I handed him a campaign button and said:  &#8220;I really <em>am<\/em> running for president.&#8221;  He smiled, looked up and replied:  &#8220;Well of course you are, you have a button.&#8221;  Later that afternoon during an interview, I told Perry we travel looking for things we think are worthwhile.  When we find them, we tell others about them with the hopes of planting seeds.  I used the example of a stone that just went up in front of St. Joseph&#8217;s Church here with the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes.  &#8220;If displays of the Commandments are being taken from public venues, what&#8217;s keeping us from displaying them as prominently as possible in private venues (like church front lawns, homeowners&#8217; front lawns),&#8221;  I told Perry.  What&#8217;s more, I added I would talk about what we saw at St. Joseph&#8217;s in Rawlins all over the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liz had taken the kids to a Lewis and Clark presentation at the Rawlins, Wyoming Library and I was out about town walking Jonathan in his stroller.
