On the recordMarch 23, 1994
on January 26, 1993, I paid tribute to E. Hamilton ``Ham'' Wilson, who at that time had just retired from his long-time position as government affairs director at Alabama's Auburn University. Prior to that, he had been chief executive officer of the Alabama Cattlemen's Association. Ham's many friends at Auburn and throughout the agricultural community in Alabama were deeply saddened on March 11, when Ham passed away. He served as Auburn's chief lobbyist beginning in 1985, when former president James E. Martin established the position to ensure a permanent presence for Auburn at the Alabama State House. The job was tailor-made for Ham, who had already earned a distinguished reputation statewide through his work with the cattlemen's association. I extend my deepest condolences to Louise L. Wilson, Ham's wife of 46 years, and to their entire family in the wake of their painful loss.
