Composition of his party

My original stub included

She was one of two women in the party, which included the wife of neither man.

based on the Huffington lk (the only ext lk i put in, in that edit). She treated at as one among two men & two women (besides of course the Secret Svc contingent), and A. H.'s site implied reason to suspect that each man was, uh, escorting one of the women.

Our article on the incident makes the non-security party 5, not four, which (if true) IMO makes her approach pretty tenuous. I'm removing the associated language (even tho it might be justified if our article turns out to be wrong about the pair of sisters being there).

Her official U. S. State Department biography [1] reads:

Pamela Willeford was sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein on October 27, 2003.

Ambassador Willeford has devoted her career to developing education policy and promoting community service in Texas. She recently completed 8 years of service on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, which is charged with overseeing all public post-secondary education in Texas. Under her leadership as Chairman for the past 5 years, the Board has developed a comprehensive higher education plan for the state called “Closing the Gaps by 2015.” The plan is directed at closing education gaps within Texas, as well as between Texas and other U.S. states.

Pamela Willeford's experience in education began over thirty years ago as a teacher in public and private schools in Dallas, Texas. During the 1980’s, she served as a trustee of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, and began the development program for the school. She has also devoted time to many community service projects, including serving as Director of Development and Texas Capitol Rededication Coordinator for the State Preservation Board, and Founding Board and Executive Committee Member of the Texas Book Festival since its inception in 1996.

She has been involved in numerous civic organizations, including The Helping Hand Home for Children, SafePlace Center for Battered Women, Trinity Episcopal School, the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, and the Junior League of Austin. She was awarded “Volunteer Extraordinaire” by the Junior League of Austin in 2002 and “Woman of Distinction” from the Girl Scouts Lone Star Council in 2003. She has also served as Advisory Committee Chairman for The Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries.

Pamela Willeford grew up in Breckenridge, Texas and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin.

3, not 5, hunters

_ _ Re the most recent edit, the hunting party numbered 3, and Dick Cheney hunting incident needs correction in that regard. The Armstrong sisters sat in the car, and were no more part of the hunting party than were the Secret Service team.
_ _ BTW, this is a main article. If you think of Dick Cheney hunting incident as this one's main article, you seriously misunderstand WP.
