Like the rest of us, he commented on the bumpy descent we had just experienced. Since he was the last one on the bus, he was the first one off, and I assumed he was racing off to a meeting.

It was with some surprise that I almost bumped into him as I, myself, left the bus. Sen. King stopped to assist an elderly woman, who was a bit confused in the bustle.

As I passed them, I overheard him asking her if they should go together up the stairs or in the elevator and I smiled to myself, knowing she was in good hands.

With our senator being so decent, doing the right thing without a camera lens or microphone in sight, we all are in good hands.
