The first time Judith Droz Keyes attended a Democratic National Convention it was 1968, and she never made it inside. At the time, her husband was serving in Vietnam as a swift boat officer, in the same squadron as John Kerry. Eight months later, Keyes' husband died, spurring her to become more active in the anti-war movement. That's where she met Kerry.
