Last Saturday at the 4th Congressional District Democrats meeting, the chair, George Fearing, asked those assembled to introduce themselves and talk about their favorite Washington State Democratic Politician past or present. George went last with some prompting from those assembled. As it turns out, George spoke movingly about the character and civility of Tom Foley. Tom Foley was the Fifth District congressman who ultimately became Speaker of the House. A few links I recommend to learn more about Tom Foley and his legacy are:
