We lost a true friend today. Former Congressman Jim Oberstar died - TopicsExpress



          

We lost a true friend today. Former Congressman Jim Oberstar died in his sleep last night. He was a mentor and a friend and a man of true purpose and grit. His life journey took him from the hardscrabble mines of northern Minnesota to the chairmanship of one of the most powerful committees in Congress. He traveled the country and the world helping people, sharing knowledge and always speaking his mind, sometimes in French. Every miner should remember his work to keep the mines open and make them safer. Every American who bikes the Minnesota bike trails, hikes the Lake Superior trail, and drives our national highways and bridges should remember Jim today. To the end he loved Jean and his family, his Slovenian heritage, his long bike rides, and anything and everything about transportation policy. We will miss him dearly.
