“Yes. When I first arrived here a few years ago and realized that common root with Mr. Natcher, it was something that I particularly enjoyed being able to talk to him about, because we could talk about Short Creek and Caneyville and Falls are Rough and Litchfield and a whole bunch of little towns down in his district that I used to spend a lot of time in as a little boy visiting grandparents that nobody else around this place, outside the Kentucky delegation, even some of you, probably have never heard of, and being able to have that kind of connection with him was a priceless thing and a source of great joy for me, because I could talk with him a little bit on his own terms, although he was many times my senior in this place. But it also gave me an insight into his devotion to duty and to the House and to his country and to his district that I probably would not have been able to see quite so well otherwise, a man who was the absolute epitome of integrity.”
