Thank you for your kind words.
We also got to know and love Paul and Shelia Wellstone as well. When his plane went down in Eveleth in October of 2002, it was if a member of the family had died. Phil went to the Memorial at Williams Arena. I still have the pin he was given from that event. It is on my Democrat hat.
