It was touching to hear of their respect and their affection and their admiration for Paul Wellstone. I wanted to close by noting, as others have so well, that Paul's remarkable achievements were not his alone. He was one of those people who, in his greatness, was able to attract great people to his side. He had extraordinarily dedicated men and women who worked for him, worked with him, gave of their time and their energy, their hearts and their souls to his work: Colin McGinnis and his staff here in Washington; Connie Lewis, Minnesota State director, and her staff in Minnesota were always with Paul and Sheila and extraordinarily dedicated. Of course, if you wanted to make a difference in Washington, if you wanted to try to move mountains and you were young and idealistic, who better to work for than Paul Wellstone?
