Hey, HC.........you want to post your own letter, or shall I?
I will post it right here, o. I wasn't clear exactly how this was going to work. So..............coming right up.
Tony Snow was a person I admired from the first time I heard him fill in for Rush Limbaugh. He was courteous and upbeat but strikingly smart and informed.
The first time I actually met Tony was when he returned to his Alma Mater, Davidson College, to present some awards and give a talk on Washington life. Since we live in the town of Davidson, only five minutes from the college, I went over to hear Tony's talk. It was typical Tony, fact and insight, flavored with a bit of gossip. (Nothing mean.) Tony then remained in the auditorium to greet and speak to every student who queued up, and even to this middle aged guy waiting at the end of the line.
Tony exhibits that same easy access at his press conferences where he lingers afterward to clarify issues with the reporters who want to talk one on one with "The Man".
I have absolutely no doubt that Tony Snow's appointment as Press Secretary and his behind the scenes imput has contributed to the bounce that Pres. Bush got in the polls.
Many of us Tony Snow radio show fans, the SnowFlakes, miss our daily dose of Snow insight. But, we all understand that Tony has gone to a higher calling and he goes with our prayers that he may suceed in these critical times.
God bless the USA, Pres. Bush and Tony Snow!
