Political Quotes

“I, too, want to say a word about George Tames, who has gone from us now. He was a remarkable man. I met him when I first came to the Senate in 1979. He was the ace photographer for the New York Times, a very genial man, with bright eyes and a wide open face. He had a sparkling wit. He loved to talk about his heritage and his life in America. His family name was a contraction from an Old World name, and I cannot recall it, but it was quite a lengthy one. He was not merely a skilled photographer. He was a decidedly positive human being. He was a real pro, and fun to be with, too! He had an 'eye,' and, of course, that is why he was so renowned in his profession. He will be greatly missed. He was truly a great photographer and was recognized by all of his peers for his extraordinary abilities. So for me, I am very pleased that our lives came together, and our paths crossed. It was my pleasure to have come to know him, and I extend my sympathy to his loved ones.”
