Representative Les AuCoin and Senator Joe Biden serve spaghetti

Representative Les AuCoin and then-Senator Joe Biden serve spaghetti at a birthday fundraiser for AuCoin. In typed notes about the image, AuCoin writes: "The annual spaghetti feed at Catlin Gable School was a mainstay in each of my campaigns. The event didn't raise a lot of money, but small and even large donors came to count on it. Usually, I had a V.I.P. guest who helped me serve pasta and then pitched my candidacy to the crowd. Here, then-senator Joe Biden serves up his big trademark smile with the pasta." This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. The original photo remains with the AuCoin family.
