Mark Vaught: Gatewood’s Plants

I was at a political rally in Somerset at the National Guard Armory.

It was the governor’s race in which Martha Wilkinson started but dropped out.  Ms.  Wilkinson provided a potted plant for a door prize.

As luck would have it, Gatewood won the plant.  He was outside and rushed in to accept the plant.

Someone yelled from the crowd, “Why don’t you give away one of your plants Gatewood?”, to which he promptly replied, “Mine are too expensive to give away.”
