Fifty Years Ago at RGH..
Marcia Marriott, RGH employer supervisor, first heard Jimmy Carter in 1972 when he nominated Henry Jackson for president at the Democratic convention. Three years later she happen to turn on WHAM's Opinion program and heard him as a guest. When he was a guest speaker at the University of Rochester last November, she was there. This candidate she decided she wanted to support. She went to see Midge Costanza, whom she knew on a casual basis, and offered to help. Miss Costanza, an early Carter supporter, is vice chairperson of the NY State Carter campaign. Shortly thereafter, Marcia organized the Rochester Peanut Brigade, composed of a dozen or so Carter supporters, not one of whom had had any previous political expertise. Both parties were represented, and a half dozen professions. Marcia describes the Peanut Brigade as a rather unique group, since it is actually outside the traditional political organization, and formed for only one candidate. After the election, it will probably disband. Until November, the Brigade will work locally. There is one other Peanut Brigade, the original Georgia group. The two Brigades met and exchanged ideas at one of the weekend meetings. Working for someone does make a difference, she insists. In addition, it's stimulating meeting all kinds of people. Lifelong friendships are made, as well as memories, she guarantees. (RGH Tempo, September-October 1976)
