Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Dean Weber. In 1973, Dean Weber started as head athletics trainer for the University of Arkansas, where he provided care for thousands of Razorback student athletes. He never missed a football game as an athletic trainer, working over 415 games with the team under eight head coaches. A Hall of Famer, Dean served the university for over 50 years and has the third longest tenure of anyone in Razorback athletics history, behind Frank Broyles and Norm DeBriyn. Dean's love for the Natural State and Razorback athletics was immeasurable. Still, his legacy will always be in the relationships he built with the athletes, coaches, colleagues, and friends. When I think about what made Dean special, I can say from personal experience that I was just a walk-on, but Dean treated me like an all- American. We can all learn from that, and the world could use some more Dean Webers. We will miss our friend, but we are better having known him. Dean Weber made a difference. Woo Pig Sooie. Go Hogs. ____________________”
