The Senator changed my life. In the fall of 1981 he was in Idaho Falls. My Mom ran his district office and I happened to stop in to see Mom, she asked if I'd like to meet the Senator. Of course I would! He took me into an office and we spoke for 10-15 minutes. He treated this high school kid with respect and challenged me about the Constitution, and to get to know it and love it. I did and now, 43 years later I'm an attorney fighting for the Constitution trying to protect it. God Bless Senator Symms! A great man who I have always respected, and who was (and is) loved by my parents, Mel and Dixie Richardson, and who's influence has made me a better man. I hope to live worthy of seeing him again and thanking him for his work and influence.
