Dozens and dozens of folks worked on this campaign - most of them showed up at headquarters on election night. A hub of activity was Ethel Eckhaus' Command Post where she received reports from the polling places. Here [photo, left] volunteers surround Ethel and table-mate Barbara Ireland as she tallies the vote. [Right] Rudy's Aunt Betty (left) and Annette Miller (right) braved 40 MPH winds and driving rain to urge last-minute voters at East Ridge to vote for "The Man" - Rudy Marconi.
[Left] Four people who worked tirelessly from the first days of Campaign '99: (from left) Paul and Reggie Hazel, Lena Marconi, and Alice Carboni. [Right] All those volunteers need to be fed! The irony was that everyone was pretty much too busy to stop to eat!
[Left] An important component of Team Rudy was the young people of Ridgefield. [Right] There were thousands of get-out-the-vote calls made --- here seated are (from left) Sue Mushlin, Ethel Eckhaus, Barbara Ireland, and (standing) Dave Beebe.
[Left] Rudy's daughter Amanda, her pal, and son Jason were an important part of Team Rudy. [Right] Dave Nichols (left) and Rich Kalreiss (right) manned the late shift at the East Ridge polling place, in the driving rain. By the time they returned to Hqs, they looked like drowned rats.
