66. 60's childhood with progressive Republicans, now progressive Dem.
Michigan had Governor Milliken. A wonderfully decent Republican. One of the last of that breed in that party. Not wonderfully progressive, but slowly progressive in realization that some of US are regressives that have to be dragged along with the rest of US. He progressed at a pace that did not overly anger either end of that spectrum.

My major foo-foo, voting for Reagan, lead me to be more aware and involved. It took me a few months to realize my mistake.
