Morris and Laura Tisdall are the polling staff. And I'm going to be here anyway. Both are avoiding the real character issue here. Now, a few days before the polls open and orderly chaos reigns, the Tisdalls are sitting calmly in their quiet den, located just off the garage. Married 53 years, they are a study in contrasts.
Polling booths make for strange bedfellows.
Laura is a lively woman who loves to be involved in things. Morris is a patient, unruffled man of chosen words. One senses that he is continually surprised, if not amused, by some of his wife's ideas and entanglements. The Tisdalls arrived in Sacramento in 1956 and bought this home on Waterford. There was no Arden Fair then.
