I want to salute Senator Bogina as a man dedicated to serving his community, for his personal investment of time and energy on matters that made Kansas work for the better. He was a good friend to Kansas libraries over the years, making a very significant difference in what public libraries all over Kansas could offer their constituents -- from the tiniest libraries in rural communities to larger libraries serving dense populations. He made a real, tangible difference to the quality of our everyday lives, in ways not immediately obvious to the ordinary Kansan. But he did make a difference, a positive one over many years, and I'd like others to know that. Thank you, Senator.
With much sympathy to his family,
Patricia Hassan
