I learned today that a dear fellow Democrat and friend, Mike Tremper, passed away on Oct 17. I first met Mike when I volunteered on the 1969 campaign for Henry Howell for Gov. We worked together in many, many Democratic campaigns over the years. Many on this blog will remember Mike from many of those campaigns. Just wanted everyone to know about this great loss.
Rest In Peace, Friend
