I met Hamilton Jordan when he was at Whittle Communications.

Hamilton Jordan was a true
Hamilton Jordan was a true Southern Gentleman. He inspired and mentored many. He will be missed by this Georgia boy! God bless the Jordan family and God bless my friend Ham.

His son, Hamilton Jordon IV(?) and my son were running for class president in the 3rd or 4th grade at Bearden Elem. My son, ever the clown, gave his own version of "I have a dream" speech.
