Jill Long Thompson at ITT Tech
This morning, our Democratic nominee for Governor, Jill Long Thompson, was the keynote speaker at ITT Technical Institute's annual Women's Breakfast. The purpose of the breakfast is to honor women in the career fields offered by ITT. Needless to say, Jill was very warmly received by the crowd of about 75 women (and two men).
Jill spoke about some of the people who have inspired her: her mother, Sandy Thomson (of WANE-TV, but relevantly to Jill, Sandy was her high school English teacher who not only taught writing but also about how the world is full of opportunities), Birch Bayh, and pilot Al Haynes to name a few.
She also talked about the importance of education, especially vocational education, in Indiana's future, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing our state.
Unfortunately your humble correspondent didn't have the presence of mind to take notes (bad, bad correspondent) so I am leaving out a lot. But the point is that Jill is out and about. She looked great - much more rested than one would expect first thing in the morning - and she sounded terrific.
