Debra Wadley

Debra Wadley is the manager of Doe's Eat Place in downtown Little Rock. She says that Bill Clinton has visited the eatery, one of his favorites in the city, several times: "I've been here for 17 years and I bet he's been here maybe 17 times."

In the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign, Wadley remembers visitors being "shocked when they came to Little Rock. They thought all the women would be barefoot and pregnant and God knows what they thought the men would be. After a while, though, they were saying, 'Hey, this is a pretty cosmopolitan place. You can actually get a pretty good steak.'"
