H = Howard Coble
People I’d Like You to Meet
Howard Coble is our recently retired congressman. Now, while I don’t know him personally, I actually have met him several times. He is one of the most beloved people in our community. He has managed to stay connected to the people. He knew my father-in-law, was part of one of my sons recognition of becoming an Eagle Scout, and manages a smile for everyone he meets. While a strong Republican, he was known for getting along with people and trying to reach across lines to get things done. It’s also pretty cool that he has refused his government pension.
He sounds like a true statesman. I'm sure there were some self-absorbed politicians in the early days of our country, but they seems more concerned with building a great country than many politicians today who are concerned about getting re-elected. There's a difference between politician and statesman, and Howard Coble is a good example.

Sounds like a wonderful man. Thanks for telling us about him!
It is refreshing to read a positive and respectful review of a politician. How nice that he stays connected with the people he represents. It is cool that he refused his pension. You are fortunate to have him as your Congressman.
