[Mpls] Schiff /Bicking Forum Zimmermann Stunt

[Gena Berglund]

The woman who was handing out these half sheets of info about the FBI 
was under 5' 5". She had a head of curly, full blond hair.

If I was introduced to her, I don't recall her name; some of the evening 
is a blur...nerves and all...

Gena Berglund
Campaign Manager, Gary Schiff
