Mark and I were assigned to a table. We were the first ones there from our table, followed shortly by his sister and brother-in-law. Next came the owners of Losee Jewelers (Who were nice (rude?) enough to let Mark and I know we could come to them when we were "ready"). Finally the last couple arrived and who could it be? It was no other than...the LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR of Utah. Yes, we felt very honored.
So here's the predicament. How on earth do you address the Lieutenant Governor? Do you call him Lieutenant? Lieutenant Governor? Mr Herbert? I finally decided to call him LG. (Not to his face of course. That'd be weird)
Oh, and What on earth do you say to the lieutenant governor? I had these thoughts rambling through my head...
"So LG, how do you feel about the private school voucher system?" (touchy subject with me)
"LG, what's with the gas prices? Can't you do something about it?"
"LG, what are your political aspirations and why should I vote for you?"
and lastly,
"Um, LG, what exactly is a LG?"
I didn't say any of these things. Instead I focused on not spilling anything on my clothes and using proper eating etiquette. (which fork goes with what again?)
At the end of the night, he said good night and reminded us to get out and vote. Oh, don't worry LG, I will. I will.
(Nice guy, really. I'd vote for him...)

Not cool of the jewelry people, but cool to have dinner with the LG.
The only thing I really know that he does has to do with voting--he's in charge of all the polling location and procedures, I believe, as well as a giant, never-ending marketing campaign to get people to vote.
Other than that, I'm guessing he plays a lot of golf.
