Never knew Governor Wilder but I sure knew of him.

A very very long time ago I saw Governor Wilder speak.

Couldn't figure out what he was saying,truth be told,
I'm not sure anybody else did either..

Governor Wilder listened to the beat of
a different drummer.

In fact,one could say,Governor Wilder was a bit
off beat.

But the back beat Governor Wilder layed down
was a symphony in the Senate.

Governor Wilder's axiom:

"Let the Senate be the Senate"

Allowed the body to move foward on tough legislation.

We will never see the likes of a person that
embodied the spirt of the legislative process in
the manner ole John Wilder did.

Governor Wilder..a great man..who did great things
for our state.

RIP.
