WV Agriculture Commissioner Gus R. Douglass Comments On The Passing Of U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd
6/28/2010
“I lost a dear friend June 28 when Sen. Robert Byrd passed away. Sen. Byrd’s connection with rural West Virginia was continually strong. When he first ran for the U.S. Senate I supported him and was involved in his campaign. Throughout the years, he has been a true friend and advocate of agriculture.”
“I have remained a strong supporter of Sen. Byrd over the years. He has always given his highest consideration to the needs of West Virginians. I will miss him greatly, as will West Virginia’s farm community, and the citizens of these United States, who benefitted from his knowledge, courage and integrity in ways that will only become more apparent as time passes.”
