When he was lieutenant governor of California, there was a plane crash in San Diego which killed everyone on board. I remember reading that Dymally had originally been scheduled to be on that flight but had cancelled or changed to a different flight...so he was lucky to live another 30+ years.
I had to look this one up to see who was Governor when this man served, since I moved out of CA in 1973. I don’t remember him at all. He must have been Lt. Gov. to Jerry Brown during Gov. Moonbeam’s first term in office. His biographical material does not mention the name of the Gov. at all. In fact, they call the Lt. Governor’s office his first “non-partisan” statewide office where Dymally won election. I sure don’t remember Lt. Gov. being non-partisan in CA. Is it still considered non-partisan?
In 1981, attorney Ed Masry (same guy in Erin Brockovich) was convicted of a felony for an gift of $10,000 to bribe Lt. Governor Mervin Dymally to not investigate activities of his client, a religious cult group named Morningland in San Diego County. The conviction was later overturned on appeal.
RIP.
