"Barry
and Mo"
Special Bonus
In
1984, Republican Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater and Democrat Arizona
Congressman Morris Udall shared a stage before The Arizona Capitol
Hill Club - perhaps three hundred Arizonans employed in Washington
by our state‘s congressional delegation.. Both men came from pioneer
families; had served the state and nation in war and peace; and
had been candidates for President of the United States. Rather than
a serious discussion of contemporary-1984 political issues, these
two Elder Statesmen engaged in a delightful, very humorous conversation
about the connections between their families, Arizona history, and
their unsuccessful races for the White House.
