At the end of a ceremony that mixed personal remembrance of Rush Hudson Limbaugh Sr. and allusions to the difficulties of constructing the building named in his honor, family members and dignitaries cut the ribbon at Cape Girardeau's new federal courthouse.

The building is a fitting tribute to Limbaugh, said his son, retired U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Sr. His expressed hope is that his father's devotion to the law will inspire the attorneys who practice there. "He lived it, he breathed it," Limbaugh Sr. said. "He loved it and it was his virtual life."

As he spoke of his grandfather, Stephen Limbaugh Jr. recalled his work ethic, which kept him at his desk six days a week almost to the end of his life in 1996 at age 104, and his example of respect for others and clients, regardless of their ability to pay.

Sorry for the panic wondering why you were not going to be in yesterday. Mark Davis did a great job subbing.

The ‘Show-Me’ state ought to be renamed ‘The Rush Limbaugh State’. If I lived in Missouri that’s what my license plate would say :)
