Almanac: At the Capitol

Long before she was introducing Obama at his Target Center event, Jane Freeman made a gracious governor's wife.

This great silent film footage of Governor Orville Freeman was shot back in January of 1955. The Governor in tails ... Jane Freeman in a lovely gown ... daughter Connie wearing white gloves ... and son Mike (now Hennepin County Attorney) in a spiffy plaid sports jacket. This inaugural and State of the State footage comes to you courtesy of the KSTP-TV archives.
