Political Quotes

“I rise in support of H.R. 3909, which names the post office on South Cottage Grove after Henry McGee. I was fortunate to have worked for and with Henry McGee. As a matter of fact, one of the very first meaningful jobs that I ever had was a job working in the Chicago Post Office as a clerk. I can recall at that time that Mr. McGee was an esteemed executive; and one would hear his name being called on the intercom, practically all day in terms of somebody saying, Mr. McGee, please call your office, or Mr. McGee, you are wanted on floor 9, or Mr. McGee, you have a telephone call, or you have a message. Many of us were young people wondering who was this guy McGee. I mean, all day long one constantly heard his name. Then as we got to meet him and got to know him, we were tremendously impressed because he reminded us so much that it is not always a matter of where one begins, but oftentimes it is a matter of where one ends.”
