This speech was made by the local congressman, Mike Driscoll, at a church banquet in mid-February.<br />The time is around 1900. <br /><br />(It is a long speech, and this is an excerpt.)<br /><br />"As I've told you many times, Onondaga County is the Garden of Eden. Tonight it is Paradise after the first snowfall. I look around, and there is hardly a man or woman in the church whose hand I have not shaken and whose farm or store or shop I have not visited, and each face is the face of a valued friend.<br /><br />It's a good many years I've been serving you in Washington, and God willing , there will be a few years more, but not too many. The wings of Time are over me. The service has never been a burden. I have had always your affection and your faith to strengthen me. No man could ask more."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-6933584963747872832011-08-24T14:22:49.600-04:002011-08-24T14:22:49.600-04:00The child, of tender age collapsed your strength, ...The child, of tender age collapsed your strength, the simplicity of the moment.<br /><br />I read up on him, very accomplished, very wise, and filled with bright words of encouragement.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing his life.the wild magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355836751549469688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-61326811830519704082011-08-23T21:45:51.287-04:002011-08-23T21:45:51.287-04:00You've so eloquently expressed how I very much...You've so eloquently expressed how I very much feel about the passing of Jack.
