The Scranton Lace Company, for lover's of trivia is the company that Hillary Clinton's grandfather worked in. From _http://www.firstladies.org/biographies/firstladies.aspx?biography=43_ (http://www.firstladies.org/biographies/firstladies.aspx?biography=43) "Hillary Clinton's paternal grandfather Hugh Rodham was born in 1879 in Northumberland, England and immigrated to Pennsylvania to work at the Scranton Lace Company" She sometimes invokes him when she speaks of her working class ancestry. I had filed this nugget of information away in case any other candidates for political office revealed an ancestral history of lace making, thus providing the opportunity to write an article about the impact of lace making on American Politics of the 20/21st century. Unfortunately, the second and third examples that I might need to explain this as a serious trend have failed to materialize. Devon
