Mindi Davidson was “quite nervous” at the thought of meeting Sarah Palin Friday night, but she wasn’t daunted long.
“Once you start talking to her, it’s like talking to someone that you’ve known forever,” Davidson said.
Sharing the head table at the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce annual meeting, Davidson found she has a lot in common with Palin, despite her being a national Republican icon, former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate.
Before Palin took command of the packed Salina Bicentennial Center arena — about 6,000 in attendance —  she engaged in “mainly just family” talk with Davidson, the marketing officer and human resources administrator at First Bank Kansas in Salina. She was at the head table with her husband, Todd Davidson, an attorney with Hampton and Royce law offices in Salina. Todd is chairman-elect of the chamber board.
Mindi Davidson sat next to Palin’s 8-year-old daughter, Piper, one of Palin’s five children.
