On the recordMay 19, 2021
Mr. Speaker, I rise in memory of Charles Elson ``Buddy'' Roemer, III, who was born October 4, 1943, and died on May 17 of this year, a couple of days ago, went home to his reward. Buddy was a very nice guy, and he had a saying: ``I love Louisiana, but I hate Louisiana politics.'' Many of us can understand that remark. He was an American patriot, an investor, and a banker. He served in this body, the House of Representatives, from 1981-1988. He was the 52nd Governor of Louisiana, 1988-1992. He will be missed, remembered, loved, and respected. ____________________
