Bill Clinton loves mothers and Blenko Glass

Former President Bill Clinton arrived 90 minutes late for an appearance in St. Albans yesterday because he insisted on shopping at Blenko Glass in Milton for Mother's Day gifts.

The former president spoke to about 400 people in a hot gymnasium, starting about 90 minutes late. A spokeswoman said Clinton was late because he insisted on shopping at the Blenko glass factory in Milton for Mother's Day gifts.

Clinton reportedly found plenty of gifts, and he also found an enthusiastic crowd, not yet ready to hand the Democratic nomination over to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
