| Description | SEATTLE —
They gathered Saturday for lunch to honor the oldest member of a very exclusive club.
It has only seven members, and they all make sure that no matter what important things are on their schedule, or where they are, they make it to this event. It is the seven living governors of this state, and on Saturday, although in a wheelchair after breaking his hip in September, there was Al Rosellini, about to turn 100 on Thursday.
The governors were remarkably cordial and friendly with each other, considering a good portion had run against each other for office, sometimes in nasty races.
But time passes and the heated remarks don't seem as important.
"We all share the same thing," said Dan Evans, 84, the Republican governor from 1965 to 1977, about knowing just what it's like to be a governor. "It's welded us together." |
