“Last evening, I called a legion club in a small town in southwestern North Dakota, a State I am privileged to represent in the Senate, and said congratulations to a group of young men from my hometown of slightly less than 300 people, Regent, ND, who combined with a school in Mott. The Regent-Mott team won the nine-man State championship football game last week at the Fargo Dome in Fargo, ND. I called last evening to several hundred people who gathered to say congratulations to the players and talk about how proud they were. I wish to add my congratulations today. I told them I was going to do so on the floor of the Senate. It is a big deal for a small community to have the kind of community pride and the achievement of winning a State championship.”
