David Conner Treen

Gov Dave Treen was the ranking member on the US House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and then Merchant Marine during 1977-85 when I had the honor of serving as Majority Counsel.

Dave Treen, AKA Mr. Repubpican! It was through his candidacies and victories that the Republican Party came out of the closet and began to grow in LA. He gave us the courage and

Dave Treen was a political treasure for the people and state of Louisiana. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. I believe I am a better person for having known him. He taught me much about politics and about being a good person. There are few men on this earth from whom I have learned so much. He was a wonderful role model.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father, as well as belated condolences on losing your mother. I have fond memories of car-pooling to school with you all those many years ago and felt the state was in good hands when your dad was Governor.
