Political Quotes

“On March 18, 1994, five of Hamtramck, MI's finest athletes from past years will be inducted into the Hamtramck Sports Hall of Fame. At the same time, one of them, Eddie McGloin, will be awarded the E.M. Conklin Humanitarian Award. This award is given to a Hamtramck High School alumnus who has demonstrated excellence in leadership, guidance, and administrative skills. Eddie McGloin is winning this award because of a long involvement in athletics and a broad career in education, government work, and political activism. Eddie earned varsity letters in track, cross country, and boxing at Hamtramck High and was also a Golden Gloves boxer and a college boxing champion. He boxed when he was in the Air Force and even enjoyed a brief professional career. He was a counselor in the Detroit Public School System and worked in employee relations with the U.S. Post Office in Michigan and Illinois. He also worked for the Housing and Urban Development department in Detroit and Buffalo. He received a Superior Accomplishment Award from the Postmaster-General and a Citizen Achievement Award from WWJ. Eddie worked for two of Michigan's finest public figures, G. Mennen Williams and Phil Hart, and I am proud to say he also worked in my campaigns as a most valuable volunteer. Mr. President, I am happy to see such a fine person, and I must add, a good friend, honored in such a special way by his alma mater and his community.”
