DUNMORE, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- 82-year-old Hazel Price of Dunmore says she suddenly finds herself getting a lot of national attention because of her memories of Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

It all began after she furnished home movies to WYOU of Hillary as a child visiting her grandparents in Scranton.

Hazel rented half of a double block home from Hugh Rodham Sr., Hillary's grandfather. She often saw young Hillary when she came to Scranton for holiday or vacation visits.

Word of the home movies spread quickly as did requests for copies and interviews. On Friday a crew from the Comedy Central network set up cameras, lights and microphones in Hazel's apartment in preperation for an interview to be used on "The Daily Show" sometime before the Pennsylvania Primary.

Mrs. Price said she was a little nervous about being on the comedy network. But she said she was willing to go on if it helped Hillary Clinton with her campaign.
