Robert Dole Remembers Senator McGovern

In case you missed it, former Senator Bob Dole had some very lovely words for his late friend and longtime partner, George McGovern in Monday's Washington Post. I say partner because the men spent decades working together in Congress and again, as administrators of the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program.

Sometimes competitors; always friends.

It's a great article, and Dole's humility in both describing the greatness in achievements that the two shared over seven decades makes is informative and inspiring. I also couldn't help but read this article and recall a recent television appearance in which the late Senator McGovern made a very good point about working with those who you sometimes disagree with.

The article, titled, "George McGovern, the man who never gave up," is available here. The link below has the television interview with Oklahoma Network. One who you sometime disagree with might be competitor, but such a person is never an enemy.
