Vice President Dick Cheney was a remarkable American. In his 84 years he developed a deep dedication to America – and had a powerful impact upon it. He will be missed by his many friends who worked with him for two generations.
I first met Cheney when we came in as House Republican freshman in 1978. I was an unknown assistant professor at a state college who had lost twice. He was the youngest presidential chief of staff in history. Before that job, he had already worked for Donald Rumsfeld, and the two went on to have a close working relationship and friendship for over three decades.
Cheney was remarkable when he won, because he had a heart attack during the 1978 campaign. He was hospitalized, and his brilliant and equally hard-working wife Lynne led a “Cardiacs for Cheney” campaign which carried him back to Washington.
