Dear HCN,
Thanks for the tribute to
our late friend Lynn Dickey (HCN, 6/19/00: Dear Friends). She was a
gentle giant, for sure. It always amazed me that she was in the
world of rough and tumble politics but not of that world. She was
always a calming influence. I remember the United Mine Workers
strike in 1990 and how hard it was to talk with both sides, but
Lynn did it. At our state Democratic convention in Lander on May
20, we adopted a resolution commending her wonderful record of
public, government and community
service.
