I car pooled with Alex many years in our commutes from Springfield to
Columbus. I enjoyed our conversations particularly Alex telling me about his participation in lunch counter sit-ins at his college town in Arkansas during the Civil Rights Movement.

One of the greatest moments in my first year as Illustrious Potentate was to have Alex along with other Past Potentates have this picture taken.
