Hey Zim!
Miz micro and I met Newt's sister or cousin, can't remember which, in upper northern Virginia at a political women's tank where my daughter interned one summer. She was very nice and we were introduced and I noted her name I asked her if Newt was a relative and she told yes, he was a brother. She was very kind and very smart both!
In my opinion, FWIW, Newt was the best SPEAKER in my lifetime..
Amazing how easily it is to forget important people over time like I do.. Wish I didn't...
