Wake County Commissioner Betty Lou Ward met Hillary Clinton in the late 1980s at a Jefferson-Jackson Day breakfast in Raleigh.
The then-First Lady of Arkansas traveled to the City of Oaks to present some ideas on early childhood programs, Sam LaGrone reports.
Ward asked Clinton for some more information which Clinton sent along with a signed hand-written note, which Ward later chucked.
"What a shame I didn't save that note," Ward said.
Ward was one of two commissioners who introduced Clinton this morning at a speech at Wake Tech.
