Admired Mentor
"My ten years working for Senator Mark Hatfield were instrumental in shaping me as an adult. I constantly remember his smile, the dignity in which he carried himself, the humanity in which interacted with everyone on a daily basis, the remarkable patience in which he dealt with his youthful staff and his steadfast convictions on key issues of the day are among my fondest memories. Much of who I am today was formed by the opportunity to be mentored by Senator Hatfield and I am extremely grateful for the experience."
