You’re very kind. A worthy representation.
All I remember about Fred in Congress is John Glenn rolling him in the “investigation” of transfers of high satellite technology and other high tech to China (Loral?). It iey that Glenn took this tact at the time, but later his motivation became clear when the old fart got to fly once again into space. But Fred just couldn’t get anywhere, due mainly to his then inexperience. Now I see him as potentially another Bob Dole: old and tired. I do like him though. I think many of us are split over (a) who we like, (b) who can win GOP nomination and (c) who can win the General election. All different kettles of fish.
