LIEBERMAN HONORS BILL STANLEY

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) today issued the following statement in memoriam of Bill Stanley:

“I was deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Stanley, a statesman, a principled patriot, and a scholar. Bill Stanley loved history, taught history, and made history.  I knew Bill for many years, and I am grateful for all of the wisdom he offered me personally.  Mostly though, I treasure the example he set in his career of devoted service to this country in the United States Marine Corps, Connecticut’s State Senate, and through the many important causes that he championed in the city of Norwich and throughout our state.  Our state and this nation are blessed to have people like Bill Stanley who truly enrich our communities.  We, his readers and his students, were particularly blessed with the opportunity to have learned from Bill Stanley, who illuminated our hearts and minds with his weekly columns for the Norwich Bulletin.  Bill’s brilliant mind, generous spirit, and unforgettable stories will never fade from our memory.”
