OMG - Pres. Biden with students from my elementary school!

Background: I grew up in Scranton, in Joe's neighborhood, about 20 years after he left. I attended grades 3-5 at St. Clare's School, a small school about 2 blocks from his childhood home (about 8 blocks from my childhood home). SO and I were married 39 years ago at that small church.

Other tidbit: Sen. Bobby Casey grew up about 5 blocks from Joe's house. It was a very Irish Catholic neighborhood.
