MADAM PRESIDENT LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN THE SENATE WITH A
HEAVY HEART. WE WILL
ACKNOWLEDGE YOU ONE OF OUR OWN.
SENATOR BILL RICHARDSON SERVE
TWENTY TWO YEARS IN THIS LARVAL
INSTITUTION. MANY CONTRIBUTED
MIGHTILY TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. ONE OF THE
COLUMNIST WHO WROTE OF HIS
PASSING WROTE ABOUT THE MAN WHO
CHANGED THE CAPITAL. HE DID
BRING NEW DIMENSIONS TO THIS
INSTITUTION. WE HAVE SOME OF
HIS FAMILY HERE. WITH US TODAY.
THE BILL HAS WELL AS AN AD MAN.
HE ATTENDED UNIVERSITIES IN
WASHINGTON. THEN IT STARTED HIS
OWN FIRM. THERE WAS A PIONEER
IN DIRECT COMMUNICATION. WITH
THE VOTERS THE COMPANY HE
FOUNDED CALLED COMPUTER CAGING
WHILE HE WAS HERE WITH US
ADOPTING TECHNOLOGY. THE
POLITICAL MATTERS NOW IT IS
SOLD COMMON. AND SO WIDESPREAD.
BILL WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS. A
TRUE GENTLEMAN. FEARLESS
FIGHTER. EVERYBODY DID NOT
AGREE. BUT THEY'LL- BUT
EVERYBODY RESPECTED HIS PASSION
AND HIS COMMITMENT. AND
PARTICULARLY. THAT COMMITMENT
TO THE INSTITUTION THE SENATE
THIS RULES ITS TRADITIONS. AND
SENATORIAL COURTESY. HE WAS THE
STEADIEST ABOUT THESE MATTERS.
I REMEMBER. WE HAD A BIG SENATE
PARTY ONE TIME TO THE- MANSION.
ELECTED THE YEAR I WAS WAS
SENATOR DIANE WATSON FROM LOS
ANGELES. NOW SENATOR WATSON AND
SENATOR RICHARD XIN WERE ABOUT
AS DIFFERENT POLITICALLY AS YOU
COULD EVER GET. BUT THE POINT
AT THAT EVENT. IT LIFTED ALL OF
OUR SPIRITS. WHEN BILL
RICHARDSON ASK DIANE WATSON TO
DANCE. AND HE WAS A MASTER
DANCER ACTUALLY HAD TAUGHT
DANCING OVER AND EVERYBODY
WATCHED ALMOST IN AWE IS THE
WALTZ ACROSS THE ROOM TO
POLITICAL OPPONENTS IF YOU WILL
BUT THE COLLEGIALITY. AND
COURTESY AND RESPECT THAT MARKS
THIS INSTITUTION. WAS
EXEMPLIFIED IN THOSE MOMENTS ON
THAT DANCE FLOOR. IN THAT
MANSION. BILL WORKED TIRELESSLY.
FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT WHICH
HE BELIEVED IN. PASSIONATELY HE
FOUND THE GUN OWNERS OF
CALIFORNIA AND THEN GUN OWNERS
OF AMERICA. ORGANIZATIONS SHE
LED THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE. AND
THEY WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL
DEFENDING THE RIGHTS OF OUR
CITIZENS. THE BEAR ARMS. HE WAS
A STUDENT OF HISTORY. THE
HISTORY OF THIS BUILDING IN
THIS INSTITUTION AND OF ISSUES.
SOME OF HIS SPEECHES WERE KIND
OF LIKE A LECTURE ALMOST. YOU
CAN ALWAYS LEARN. FROM BILL
RICHARDSON. IT WAS A PASSIONATE
MAN. NEVER UP TIGHT. NEVER RUDE.
THE PASSION. THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE I THINK. HE HAD. WAS
A WRITER WROTE A COUPLE OF.
NOVELS WESTERN NOVELS. BUT
PROBABLY BETTER KNOWN FOR A
BOOK THAT IS MUCH TO MY DELIGHT.
TITLED SO WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
WE READ THE BILL'S. POKING FUN
THE INSTITUTIONAL LITTLE BIT
AND THEY WROTE ANOTHER ONE
CALLED CONFRONTATIONAL POLITICS.
NOW THAT TITLE MIGHT INTIMIDATE
YOU A LITTLE BIT. BUT I RATE
REDUCED IT TO ITS SIMPLEST
TERMS WHAT THAT MESSAGE WAS.
STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE
IN. STAND UP FOR IT
UNWAVERINGLY AND PASSIONATELY.
THE BILL RICHARDSON. DID THAT.
SERVING MANY YEARS HERE HE HAD.
MADE HIS MARK ON AN INSTITUTION.
THIS STILL WIDELY REMEMBERED.
AND WE GET TO HAVE A KNOWLEDGE
HIM AGAIN. THE DAY THE GERMAN
IS MEMORY AND I HAVE A LITTLE
MORE AND TO PRESENT TO THE
FAMILY THERE WAS A TECHNICAL
ERROR ON IT WE'RE CORRECTING
THAT SO YOU DON'T HAVE A
PARCHMENT IN HERE BUT WE WILL.
GET IT TO THE FAMILY. HE WAS
MARRIED TO HIS LOVELY WIFE
BARBARA. FOR FIFTY SEVEN YEARS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW IT WAS FOR
BILL WHEN SHE PASSED IN THE
THEY HAD TO LIVE ON. BUT AFTER
ECONOMIC. MEAN TO MAYES TO LOSE
MARYLAND. THE BILL JUST TRUCK
DON AND CONTINUED HIS WORK. HIS
DAUGHTER LAURIE WORKED HERE FOR
MANY YEARS IN THE CAPITAL I
THINK OVER THIRTY FIVE YEARS.
THIRTY FIVE THIRTY FOUR YEARS
IN THE CAPITAL HERE. DEDICATED
TO KEEPING THE RICHARDSON
FAMILY ON BOARD IN THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. HIS SON IN
LAW SAMPER RADISHES FAMILIAR TO
THIS INSTITUTION AS AN ADVOCATE
FOR THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HIS.
FATHER IN LAW FOUNDED. THEN
THANK YOU FOR THE PERMISSION
FOR HIM TO BE- MARXIST TODAY.
AS BILL. THE RECOGNIZED. HE HAS
ANOTHER A LOT OF OTHER FAMILY
MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO BRIEFLY
MENTION DOT RICHARDSON IS SON

GENTLEMAN SERVE NOBODY HERE IN
ADVANCE THE CAUSES HE BELIEVED

GERMAN DOCTORS AT THE FAMILY
HERE. OF SENATOR BILL RICH OUR
FRIEND. SENATOR JONES THANK YOU
MADAM PRESIDENT MEMBERS I JUST
WANTED TO ADD ON TO THE-
RECOGNITION OF US INTO
RICHARDSON AND I SHARE SOME
PERSONAL THOUGHTS- MYSELF. THE
BIBLE SAYS THAT IN A MULTITUDE
OF COUNSELLORS THERE IS SAFETY.
AND WHEN I ARRIVED HERE IN TWO
THOUSAND TEN I HAD NO IDEA WHAT
I HAD GOTTEN MYSELF INTO. A
RUNNING FOR THE STATE ASSEMBLY
IN AND ARRIVING INTO THE STATE
CAPITOL. AND ONE OF THE VERY
FIRST PEOPLE THAT- INSTITUTION
HERE IN THE CAPITAL AND ALL AND
A LONG TIME. A MENTOR TO LOTS
OF PEOPLE WAS H. O. RICHARDSON.
AND HAD THE HONOR OF WORKING
WITH HIS FAMILY- PERSONALLY AND
PROFESSIONALLY AS WELL. AND
WHEN I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
THEM- SOME LONG TIME FOLKS IN
MY DISTRICT SAID YOU GOT TO
MEET BILL RICHARDSON. I SAID
WELL. YEAH NO LIKE THE BILL
RICHARDSON I SAID YES AND THEY
ALL AND THEY WERE JUST AMAZED
THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY. TO
MEET HIM AND SPEND SOME TIME
WITH HIM AND I READ HIS BOOKS-
WHICH REALLY- FOR ME HELP
SECURE- SOME OF THE-
CONSTITUTIONAL BELIEVES THAT I
HAD IT REALLY. DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO SPEAK ABOUT THEM OR TALK
ABOUT THEM OR TEACH THEM AND HE
REALLY HELPED ME- THE ABLE TO
DO THAT. I THINK CENTER NIELSEN
DID A GREAT JOB OF SPEAKING OF
HIS LEGACY HERE IN THE CAPITAL
AND HIS SERVICE IN POLITICS BUT
ONE THING THAT I WANT TO SHARE
IS- WHAT HE TAUGHT ME IS WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE LEGACY OF A OF
A- OF A PERSON A MAN OR A-
WOMAN. THAT'S THE LEGACY
THEY'RE LEAVING BEHIND IN. WHAT
ARE THEIR CHILDREN DOING. AND
OUT WHEN I LOOK AT BILL
RICHARDSON'S FAMILY AND SAW NOT
JUST HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS BUT
THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF HIS
CHILDREN. AND THE LEGACY OF
SERVICE THAT HE POURED INTO HIS
GRAND CHILDREN. AND AS WE'RE
HEARING THIS MORNING HIS GREAT
GRAND CHILDREN. HE REALLY
CAUSED ME TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW
I WAS RAISING MY KIDS. AND WHEN
I WAS TEACHING THEM. AND THE-
WHAT I WANTED THEM TO
ACCOMPLISH WHAT I WANTED MY
CHILDREN TO ACCOMPLISH. A
NUMBER ONE WAS TO HAVE A FAITH
IN CHRIST. AND THE BILL SEVENTY
HIS FAMILY AND I'M DOING MY
BEST TO BUILD THAT INTO MY
FAMILY. ANSWER AN ATTITUDE OF
SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. WHICH
HE BUILT INTO HIS FAMILY. AND
I'M WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY THE
BUILDING TO MY FAMILY. AND SO I
JUST WANT TO SIT THANK THE
FAMILY FOR BEING HERE THIS
MORNING- AND FOR THE HEART AND
SOUL. AND CARE THE BILL
RICHARDSON HAD FOR THIS STATE
AND OUR COUNTRY WE'RE ALL HERE
TODAY. BETTER OFF BECAUSE THEY
TELL RICHARDSON WAS A STATE

ONE OF THE GREATEST ALL TIME
GOLFERS THIS COUNTRY. HAS EVER
HAD. SHE DIED THIS PAST WEEK
JUST HAVING REACHED HER EIGHTY
FIFTH BIRTHDAY OF A HEART
ATTACK. AND SHE WAS BORN IN SAN
DIEGO. SHE WAS BORN AND WENT TO
THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL AS THE
DOOR SAMUEL WILLIAMS OTHERWISE
KNOWN AS TED TEDDY BASEBALL. SO
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT HIGH
SCHOOL CREATED TO THE GREATEST
SWINGS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE
SPORTS AND INDEED MAKING RIGHT
WAS KNOWN AND AGREED TO BY ALL
OF THE GREAT GOLF BREAKS. TO
HAVE HAD THE GREATEST SWING THE
GAME HAS EVER SEEN. SHE BEGAN
TO DEVELOP THIS PERFECT SWING
BY TAKING LESSONS FROM HER
FIRST TEACHER HARRY PRESSLER.
AND HER MOTHER DROVE HER A
HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE MILES EACH
WAY. TO AND FROM THOSE
PRACTICES THAT IS DEVOTION OF
MOTHER AS WELL AS DAUGHTER. AND
FOR MAKING A GOLF WAS NOT
EVERYTHING. BUT SHE- US THROUGH
IT AND AT THE YOUNG AGE WHEN
SHE WAS OFTEN TEASED AT SCHOOL
ABOUT BEING FIVE FEET EIGHT
INCHES TALL BY THE AGE OF
ELEVEN. SHE TOOK SOLACE IN
DEVELOPING HER SKILLS AS A
GREAT ATHLETE. AND SHE ARE IT
IS THE- RECORD OF
ACCOMPLISHMENT SHE WAS THE U.
S. GOLFING ASSOCIATION JUNIOR
KROLL CHAMPION AT THE AGE OF
SEVENTEEN IN NINETEEN FIFTY
TWO- SHIA. WENT TO STANFORD FOR
YEAR- IN NINETEEN FIFTY THREE

WELL TRAPPED GREEN. WITH THE
ONLY BETTER FEELING BEING THAT
OF WINNING. THIS WAS A WOMAN OF
TREMENDOUS COMPETITIVE SPIRIT
TREMENDOUS SKILL SHE RETIRED AS
I MENTIONED AS A YOUNGER WOMAN.
THE VERY QUIET PRIVATE LIFE
THEREAFTER IN SPITE OF THE FACT
THAT SHE WAS SHOT AND IS TO THE
STATE THE ONLY WOMAN WITH A
DEDICATED ROOM IN THE U. S.
GOLF ASSOCIATION MUSEUM IN
LIBERTY CORNER NEW JERSEY. SHE
WAS ALSO ELECTED TO THE WORLD
GOLF HALL OF FAME IN NINETEEN
SEVENTY SIX AND THE PGA HALL OF
FAME IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN SHE
THOUGH DID NOT ATTEND THESE
EVENTS BECAUSE OF HER VERY SHY
AND QUIET AND PRIVATE NATURE
NONE THE LESS DURING HER PERIOD
OF TIME WHEN SHE WAS NO LONGER

SHE BELIEVED IN PAYING IT
FORWARD TAKING INTEREST IN THE
CAREERS OF SOME OF THE YOUNGER
FEMALE GOLFERS ON THE NATIONAL
