Jul 2013

when he was in the house back in the 70s. I was just a kid when we went to Washington but I remember he took us on a tour. We were going up the steps of the Capitol Building and we saw an entourage coming down the steps. Mr. Kennedy introduced us to Senator Kennedy. Went to the public viewing area inside the house chamber and then he took us to lunch in the Senate dining room. I wouldn't say my father was a good friend of Mr. Nolan, but he was a prominent businessman in the second largest city in the district. (At that time, the Minnesota 6th was the most rural district in the nation. The largest city had a population of under 15,000.)
