She grew up in Lancaster, Ohio, in a neighborhood where there were no public buildings. So Sue's parents agreed to have the neighborhood polling place in their cinderblock basement. Before each election day, her parents transformed the normally unkempt basement into a festive space, where blue-haired ladies snacked on coffee cake. Sue grew up thinking of voting as a sacred rite - a feeling that has stayed with her all her life.</p><ul><li>See a <a title="Sue Leroux family" href="resolveuid/94d39d1c5f3c2da8373674401184de38" target="_self">photo</a> of Sue and her three brothers from 1955 standing in front of their house<br /></li></ul><a class="addbtn" href="http://www.publicradio.org/applications/formbuilder/user/form_display.php?form_code=608cc948ba9b" target="_self">Contact Us</a><p></p> Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:31:05
