“we lost a great Arkansan this week and also a great American. I rise today to give tribute to Winthrop Paul Rockefeller. When I think of Win Paul, I think of a man who demonstrated throughout the course of his life great faith, courage, and humility. He was a friend to me, but he was a friend to thousands of people around our State and around our Nation. He set a high standard for public service and for philanthropy and a high standard for leadership. In fact, he is one of those people who, regardless of his station in life, even had he been born without a penny to his name, would have been selfless, and he would have lived a sacrificial life just as he did. He has done so many great things for the State of Arkansas, for the country and for the world. Let me just name a few of the charities that he has been deeply involved with: The Boy Scouts of America, Project ChildSave, the Arkansas Literary Festival, the President's Council on Rural America, the Bill Fish Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, the Nature Conservancy, the Arkansas Coalition for Juvenile Justice--to name just a few. He has helped so many people along the way. He has inspired people with the time he spent with them but also with his generosity. I experienced that when I was about 10 or so years old.…”
