'Granny D' Brings Her Message To Oregon

"Too old and tired to get involved in politics? Tell it to 96-year-old Doris 'Granny D' Haddock.

"'That's what you're supposed to do when you're 65 and retired - start serving the people from that time on,' a smiling Haddock said in a brief interview Wednesday afternoon.

"Haddock arrived in Eugene to kick off a four-day tour that includes a talk at the University of Oregon today followed by visits to Portland and Klamath Falls.

"She was honored Wednesday night at Cozmic Pizza, where she signed copies of her memoir, Granny D: You're Never Too Old to Raise a Little Hell, and watched an excerpt from a documentary slated for broadcast on PBS, Granny D Goes to Washington."
