From the Grand Rapids [MI] Press:

September 17, 2008

Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Grand Rapids, MI

Katherine Crouch with Gov. Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin descended down the stairs from the jet and walked right to Katherine Crouch and gave her a big hug. Crouch is a 41-year-old John McCain volunteer with Down syndrome.

“She gave me a big hug and said she wants to work very hard for people with special needs,” Crouch said. “It was so exciting.”
