Jim Brady, My Hero
I first met Jim Brady when he was recruited to be Press Secretary to Gov. John B. Connally in Connally's ill-fated bid for the White House in 1980. During the early campaign committee's senior meetings, I was initially struck by Jim's irreverence -- a rare quality for the key campaign aides to the much revered former three-term Governor of Texas.
