Racelle L’Ecuyer received a Fannie Mae Foundation Fellowship, one of ten people nationwide, to attend the Senior Executives in Local and State Government at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
While there, she met the celebrity governmental official and former Minnesota Governor. Racelle reports, “Jesse Ventura is a fellow at the Kennedy School this semester.
I went to Macalester College in St. Paul, MN, as did one of my fellow students; we spent time talking to Mr. Ventura and had lunch with him one day. “He was visibily uncomfortable at Harvard, intimidated by the ‘academics’. “My classmates and I felt quite the opposite about the faculty; they were warm, welcoming, and genuinely interested in what was going on in the world beyond the ivy tower.” Congratulations to our Kingsbury neighbor Racelle, who also works at the Regional Housing and Community Development Association.
