As I mentioned, I would have been there if transportation from Cincinnati weren't so unavailable. Paul Dressell will forever be missed, and there is still a hole in the Cincinnati Chapter now that he has passed.

We would talk about birthday plans and other things. Most all conversations included the Reds, football or both. Obviously, I can’t do that anymore, but I thought about Paul today as Richard and I participated in the meeting of the Health Committee in the Ohio House of Representatives. Today the committee held the third hearing on HB 214. Richard testified and told his personal story. I batted cleanup and answered questions.
