Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is a woman who knows her way around a book signing. Facing a line of 1,000 ticketed patrons and hundreds more hoping for a glimpse of her and her family, she greeted all with a cheery, "Hi! What's your name? Good to meet you!" extending her left hand to clasp theirs while signing with her right, all in a matter of seconds.
Her husband, Todd, and their toddler, Trig, charmed the crowd as she signed.
Former Plano first lady Betty Muns and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Plano benefactor Sue de Mille Minyard arrived just as the Palin entourage entered Teri Tanner's Legacy Books earlier this month and got a little face time with Palin at the elevator.
"Plano has really turned out for you," said Muns, engendering a reply of, "They sure have!" and that famous Palin grin.
Eyeing the enormous police presence and security precautions, Minyard noted,
"It's harder to get in to see Sarah Palin than into the White House."
The neighboring shop owners didn't seem to mind being practically shut down for the event. Alexis Naccarato of Mia Fiori left a message on her phone and her door that she was across the street at the Palin book signing and would give a discount for the rest of the day when she reopened.
