Did you know...?

... that a teenage Jeff Merkley was sent to the African nation of Ghana as part of a student exchange program in 1972?

Neither did I.

Did you know that while a college student at Stanford he spent a semester in Florence, Italy? And that he used that as a springboard to travel all around the Mediterranean including a trip through the Palestinian West Bank?

Neither did I.

Did you know that he also interned (one of many internships he took) with the Foreign Service in New Delhi, India?

Neither did I.

If you'd like a closer look at what experiences and jobs shaped the guy running for Senate this year here in Oregon, hop on over and read Randy Stapilus post at Ridenbaugh Press.
